This morning I ran seven miles on my treadmill. It has been snowing like crazy, so all of my running has been indoors lately-which is good because it’s really warm inside and will help me get ready for the warm Maui climate.

I rested today. It’s always good to give your body a day to heal and rest.

Since it was Saturday, and I had a little bit more time, I really pushed myself and ran 20 miles on my treadmill. That’s almost the entire marathon. I’m almost ready!

I was not able to run today. It was a very busy day at the office and I had to stay late. I did not find the time. There is so much to do to make sure we are ready for our new campaign and to make sure everything is taken care of before the holidays. I want to make sure everything is perfect!

It snowed really hard this morning, so I stayed inside and ran five miles on my treadmill. We also have circuit training classes at Neways, so I’m going try it out and attend one tonight after work.

I feel so much better! I know that resting, not running and taking my Neways regimen and drinking my Fountain of Youth really helped me get back on my feet. I was able to run 7 miles on the treadmill and it felt great!

Day 39
Thursday, December 10, 2008
I am feeling a lot better. I don’t want to push it, but I do want to start running again. I ran inside on my treadmill so I wouldn’t be outside in the cold and risk getting sick again. I only did five miles today.

Day 37-38
Tuesday December 9-Wednesday December 10, 2008
I was still really sick. I actually took a sick day and didn’t come into the offices these two days. I cannot remember the last time I took a sick day; it has to have been at least ten years ago-if that tells you anything as to how sick I was. I definitely did not go running these two days. I hate to miss running, especially with the marathon so close, but I know it was best for my health.

I woke up early feeling a little sick. I was still able to run five miles on the treadmill. I had to hurry since I needed to catch a plane to Boise, and then from there to California.

Say cheese!
Here I am with all of my running buddies. It's great to have friends to run with. It also helps to motivate you and push you to do your best when you run with others.
If you look in the background you can see the majestic Utah mountains. We like to do trail runs early in the mornings. It's beautiful! I can't wait to see what scenery Maui has to offer! It will also be nice to run in warmer weather, where you don't have to bundle up so much! Maui here I come!
As you can see we have a lot of fun together!Day 32

My shin splints are still there but manageable with lots of ibuprofen and plenty of Fountain of Youth and all my Neways nutritionals! I was still able to run 8 miles on treadmill this morning and do a core workout.

Day 31
Wednesday, December 03, 2008
I decided to try running again since it had been three days. It’s still coming along, but I found I was able to do ten miles outside. I have to find a balance of taking care of my shin splints, while still being able to train for the marathon with it coming up so soon! I know by continuing to take my Neways supplements and icing it I will be in peak shape for the marathon.

I didn’t run again, because I found out that the pain I had been feeling was shin splints. I wanted to give it another day of rest before I started back up again. I’ve also been taking ibuprofen, icing it, and of course taking extra Ming Gold, Glucosamine and Recovery Plus and I’m feeling much better.

I did my core work out and then tried to get on the treadmill... I didn't last 2 miles, the pain was still there. I won't push it, and let my body heal.

I ran 20 miles outside. However, towards the end of my run, I could feel this sharp pain along my left tibia. I even had a hard time walking Saturday afternoon. I decided to try and stay off of it so that it could rest fully.

Day 25
Thursday, November 27, 2008 (Thanksgiving)My daughters and I participated in the Turkey Trot run. I ran a 4 mile run with my daughter Sophie, and then I ran a 1 mile run with daughter Elle. It was great to spend this time with my daughters. I want to pass on a legacy of running, staying in shape and being healthy. It’s a great way to bond with them, and to have a healthy activity we can do together.
