11.5 in the orchards with 2 x 3 miles, 7:03 pace.  I wanted the first set to be a comfortable marathon pace and the second set a little faster with really hammering the last mile.

#1:  6:41, 6:16, 6:28 - this looks ugly but it is course adjusted.  First mi gradual uphill, second mile gradual downhill, last mile flat.

#2:  6:29, 6:22, 6:02 - conservative start but I was really able to push that last mile which felt good.  I'd like to say it was comfortable but it kicked my butt.

I'm making progress.  I'm frustrated with how uncomfortable running fast feels right now but I think I just need to get more comfortable with feeling uncomfortable!  Also the wind was a major issue this morning.  It was relentless.

6.5 miles on SF River trail with my sister & Julia, 9:12 pace.  Super chill and fun recovery run that I really needed after 2 hard workouts this week.  If anything I felt like I held my sister back this morning.  She is in really good shape right now and I even convinced her to run a half marathon this year.

15.5 miles on the Utah Valley Marathon course.  Julia and I ran miles 7-22 of the UVM course starting on the hills outside of wallsburg.  It was a really great run and I hope to do this at least 1-2 more times before the race.  Those hills are always tougher than I give them credit for but I really do love the rolling changes and nature of the course.  We took the first 9 miles easy and then both started our tempos 6:08, 6:17, 6:18, 6:09, 2.5 mile cooldown.

8 with Julia on murdock, 8:15 pace.  We were mutually feeling heavy leg syndrome, tired, and weekend hangovers. Always glad to have a friend to run with on mondays.  Mirsery loves company!

Rebecca's husband was nice enough to drive Jos, Julia, Ericka, Rebecca and I up to south fork of Provo this morning.  We did a 2 mile warmup and then all kind of spread out and started our own workouts.  I was planning to do 3 x 2 miles but after 2 miles I felt really good and decided a nice 6 mile progressive tempo would boost my confidence more than the 3 x 2.  I've really been struggling with pacing for some reason lately so the main focus this morning was to start conservatively.

6:44, 6:25, 6:22, 6:14, 6:05, 5:53

After I finished I cooled down back to Julia & Ericka and finished there workout with them.  I asked them what pace they wanted and they said 7:10.  They did a 7:09 1st mile and then I really pushed them the 2nd mile and they stayed with me so I kind of kept pushing and we hit 6:48.  12 miles total all on the PCHM course.

Core work and IT rehab after.

AM #1:  7.5 in the orchards with 10 x 1 min on/off intervals, 7:24 AP.  Just effort based for the intervals...I have no idea what paces I hit but they felt hard enough.

AM #2:  3 mile recovery run with Julia and her pups on Bonnneville Shoreline trail via Y mountain trail head, 10:35 pace.  Perfect morning to be out in the sunshine!

6.5 mile recovery run in Provo canyon with the sisters Julia and real sister Amber, 9:07 pace.  These Friday runs are becomming my favorite.  My body loves it's recovery and my mouth loves the 1 hour chit chat.

UVM course with Julia & Amber.  First 9 easy ~7:55? pace.  5 mile tempo starting at Bridal Veil.

6:33, 6:25, 6:19, 6:13, 6:08 - Scott and Brandon were nice enough to stick with me and help pace me the last 2 miles of this tempo.  They were just 'cooling down'. :)

3 mile cooldown.  17 total.  Fun morning.

3 x 2 mile workout with Jen, Amber, and Melissa on the Orchard loop in Payson.  This route is tough because it starts/finishes on gradual uphills. But the consistency is nice.  We were all kind of tanked after the first 2 sets so we skipped the half mile uphill on the last set and just did 1.5.

6:17, 6:00

6:11, 5:58

6:30, 5:59

11 total, 7:10 pace.  Jen dropped me hard on every single set.  She is in GREAT shape and I'm so excited for her to race Grandmas.

9 miles in the orchards with Jen & Amber, 7:29 pace.  Plan was 10 x 1 min on/off.  I was completely falling off the pace and feeling toasted after 8 so I called that good.  My fast twitch muscles are learning to fire this week with all the chasing after Jen hughes I've been doing.  That said I need to be smart and am glad I pulled the plug.

17 miles in Hobble Creek Canyon with Jen, Rebecca, and Janae.  I did a 6 mile tempo on the way down the canyon 6:22, 6:16, 6:15, 6:14, 6:13, 6:13.  I wanted more tempo miles but I was pushing the pace a bit on the last mile so I called it good with 6.  Not really a great run for me.  I was feeling fatigued but I got some really good training in last week and was running on pretty tired legs.

Early morning Track workout at Salem HS with the South County Crew.  We had a big group this morning including Mack, Aubs, Melissa, Scott, Jen, & Amber.  Everyone kind of doing there own workout.  Jen was doing 20 x 400 which sounded completely awful.  I was late and so everyone was already into the workout when I got there.  2 mi wu

3 x 800:  2:56, 2:55, 2:54 (400 active recovery)

6 x 400:  85, 83, 84, 84, 84, 83 (200 active recovery)

I was really discouraged with this workout initially but I think it is my first time on the track this year so it's really no surprise that I felt a little rusty.

8 recovery miles on SF river trail with my sister, 9:07 pace.  Jen & Amber joined us for the first loop.  I think I could literally run at that pace and talk to my sister all day long...maybe we should do a 100 miler together and try it out. ;)

20.5 miles on the UVM course, 7:10 pace. Starting 1 mile into Wallsburg and finishing at the finish line. Pretty miserable conditions today. I did 5 mi easy with Janae, Rebecca, and Josse and then started a tempo 6:56, 6:28, 6:35, 6:33, 6:34, 6:31, 6:30, 6:28, 6:35. I wanted 10 but my legs were done at 9. I did however keep a fairly steady pace until the finish because it was pouring and I just wanted to be finished. Soaking wet and my feet were not happy.

8 miles on the hilly route in Salem with Jen, 7:25 pace.  Finished off at Salem HS with a few strides.  For the first time this year I am finally getting excited about racing/running.  I've spent the first 4 months kind of just going through the motion so it's nice to feel a little motivation.

9 miles in the cold orchards with Jen & Melissa, 6:56 pace.  3 mile tempo + 8 x 30 second on/off intervals.  6:16, 6:10, 6:03

I've had 3 pretty hard runs in the last 4 days and my legs were crying for some easy adaptation days by the end of today's run.

A friend sent me this quote this morning and it really resonated with me.

"I recall the day when I realized that I had become a runner because I had come to contentment in knowing, in deep honesty, that I wasn't running away from anything or toward anything, but was instead running WITH something.  That day I felt from the soles of my feet straight through that I wasn't running through the forest; I was that part of the forest that was running.  Just like that, today, I also see that I do not run to find meaning to life, but that instead the meaning of life runs through me."  Joseph Campbell
