Running the Salt Lake Half Marathon was one of the hardest things I have done. I had a sore area of my foot that had bothered my during my training. New shoes really helped, but I think by the time I got new shoes - my foot was pretty tired of being beat up.
During the race - I did great hydrating every miles or so. I had road runner (Dana) running with me. He was helping me to achieve my goal of under 2 hours. It was so hard. He stayed just a little bit in front of me so that I felt like I always had to push harder. So bad in my mind I wanted to stop and walk. My foot really hurt at mile 7 to the end. I could never let my brain escape - all it could think about was my foot. I am glad I did it. I really didn't mind the training. I certainly couldn't have done it with out Coach Alyssa with www.ampedmultisport.com and my protein shakes and sports products. Really nutrition is the key. I am not going to say that I will never do another race. I think I would - if my foot would feel better.
This week has been really strange. I have felt a little blue. You have so much of your life focused on one thing and when that is over - you don't really know what to do. I want my body to recover - my quads are sore - so I don't want to just get back to the normal gym. So slowing down is really hard for me. Now I need to get a plan in mind - so I have something to focus on and work towards.

Taster Party
Wow Kenlee shares an amazing story at the Taster Party. She tried a 9 day challenge because she could see in me that I wanted her to succeed so badly. She lost some weight but on day 5 she had a rash on her legs. She had forgotten she was allergic to whey. Oh my goodness. They are protein shakes - red flag that they have whey. Although because of how the whey is processed a even those allergic to whey are sometimes ok with my shakes. I guess not Kenlee.
We had some amazing clean food - as always - some good healthy conversation and some new friends made!

Newest member of Tina's 18 Day Challenge
My friend from College - my first roommate - has joined Tina's 18 day challenge. I am so excited for her. She has been asking me questions - which I love to answer. Yesterday was her birthday and she said "this is the best birthday present ever!" She doesn't even know the half of it! Can't wait to share in her journey.

LSD Run - Week 1
First Long Slow Distance run of my training - 5 miles. Click here to watch my periscope.
Just had a 2 day nutritional cleanse.
6 am shake with greens
7:30 am Power drink and eshot
8:00 am run on treadmill 5 miles. warm up for 1/2 mile 5.0 pace then 6.0 for the rest of the miles.
felt fine. I was distracted by the lady next to me. It is very hard for me to get distracted while I run. At mile 1 I had to go pee! I endured through the run - maybe peed my pants a little - but it just looks like sweat :) and there was no one behind me. While I was running I took 2 sips of my hydrate drink every mile. It was my reward :) I felt fine during my run. I wasn't winded or tired or wishing I could get off.
9:00 am or so stretch stretch stretch. I always forget how important that is. Had my super yummy protein shake and recovery drink.

Getting Lots of Support for my half - protein shake for lunch
If you follow me on facebook (Carey Biggs Underwood) or Instagram (@candid93) you will see me post pictures of my "supporters". So many people are excited for me to run this half - either because they aren't having to run or because they are runners and love it! Love the support - It will pull me through!

Actually 11 weeks
I was anxious to get my training going tomorrow - so I contacted Coach Alyssa. She did the actual counting on the calendar - the race is 11 weeks away. So this week will be a little practice - then we will get to the knotty gritty next week.
