Distance Walked: 2.5 miles
Time of Walk: who knows...
Route: church plus a new loop minus last loop
Mrs. HK and I were planning on riding 10 miles today and then running 2 miles. Well, Mrs. HK's tires were flat, and we had a few other problems so we bagged our bikes and decided just to walk and talk. We needed to talk today, running will commence on Saturday.

Distance Ran : 3.5 miles
Time of Run: 47 minutes...yeah, pretty slow
Route: Church and a half
Today was super windy, we made good time heading NOrth but coming back South we were running so SLOW because of the wind. Our pace was also a bit slow today, I would really like to go faster. The one bonus of today is that we ran an extra mile...that is good!
Saturday we are doing a 10 mile bike ride followed by a 2 mile run, just to see how that feels for Mrs. HK's triathlon in a few weeks. Should be fun!

Small Setback:
Thursday I woke up with a migraine so I didn't run.
Today when the alarm went off it was still dark outside! I was going to run alone and I thought it was not a good idea to do it in the dark. I am worried because it's only going to get worse, and if I can't run in the morning I don't know when I will. I FEEL LIKE A SLUG!
Next week will be better.

Distance Ran = 3.2 miles
Time of Run =29.09 (9.09 per mile, PR!)
Route = 5k route
It rained last night, so this morning was perfectly cool...and perfectly muggy. I don't think I have ever sweat as much as I did today. I sure am glad that I live in a dry arid state! However, if someone twisted my arm and gave me a house there and infinite cash, I would probably relocate to Kona. I would just have to learn to love the humidity.
This was my first run back into my training after the 10k. I was SORE Sunday and a little bit yesterday, it felt good to loosen up my muscles and ligaments today in my run. I am proud of myself that I am continually shaving just a bit off of my time. It is always hard, but feels really good when I do it!

Race Results:
Emily Jacobs...finished 687 out of 1200 women...126th of my age group...
final time.....59.54.9!!!!!!! That's a 9.39 minute mile people!!!
The best part is that I beat the crap out of my goal by a whopping 6 seconds!
This race was AWESOME! I loved the route, I loved the feeling of running amongst all of those people, I loved the morning, I just couldn't stop smiling! I actually ate something before I ran this morning and I felt great the entire run! The last half mile was a bit hard, it was a slight grade increase, and we were facing the sun. I had to sprint it in to make my time, but I did it!
I have earned myself a new pair of running shoes, courtesy of the handsome Nicholas Jacobs.
I have also learned that it is possible to pee one's pants and to just keep on running. Really.

Bike Distance = 12 miles
Time of biking = 45 minutes
I am not running today because I have the 10k (eeek) on Saturday, so I rode solo this morning on Nick's bike. It was nice, I almost swallowed like 500 gnats, but other than that, very nice. I must admit my crotch and butt are sore, I hate that part of riding! Nick says you get used to it...someone please explain how GUYS can get used to being squished there?!?
