Scheduled: 45-60 minutes
2 min walk (warmup)
42 min run (5.5, 5.8 3 mins, 6.0 2 mins, 5.5 2 mins) - finished 4 miles in this time
2 min cool down
Totals 4.15 miles (11.08 mins/mile)
Today felt awesome! I ran early this morning (5:10am) and it was my longest consistent run since I started training. I struggled here and there and kept just telling myself to keep moving. For the last 7 minutes, I turned my music off and just talked to myself about motivating myself to keep going. I really wanted to be able to run 4 miles in an 11 minute mile and I did it. I was pretty tired but I was able to keep going. My left knee (the back part) hurts pretty bad when I am done. I am not sure what to do about that because I think that it is going to get worse as I train.
Again, I just want to say how good this morning felt. I still have a lot of work but it is nice to have some up days here and there to keep me going.
Training for running!

About Me
- Misti Lee
- I grew up in Utah but have had the opportunity to live in Texas (short 3 months), Ohio (2 1/2 years) and Montana (way too short 5 months). It is good to be back in Utah but I do miss being away. I bought a place in Draper in December 2009 which means I won't be going anywhere new to live that is anytime soon. I have a large family and we all live in Utah now which makes being here better. At this moment we have 18 nieces and nephews which keeps me fairly busy! (Soon to be 19). I love the outdoors and the smell of the fresh air. I absolutely love to exercise and it do it probably too often but I think it's an okay thing to be addicted to. I love to take pictures and find that it just gets me away from whatever I am feeling and I can express myself that way. I am always planning a trip or trying to find someway to see new things. Traveling is a passion of mine and it is definitely part of the package.
