Weights Day 4:  Legs...definitely not my favorite!  I was feeling the burn baby.

6 mile slog around town with AmberD, 8:00 pace.  I'm really glad I have Amber to run with after these weight sessions because I think it would be really hard to get going on my own.

I don't know what this weight thing is doing yet but I am feeling it.  There is definitely a delayed onset of fatigue for me however and I can barely lift my arms today from Mondays workout.  Loving the fatigued...like hello muscles that you haven't paid attention to since you were born feeling.

10 miles in the orchards with Jen, Melissa, Amber, & Scott, 7:46 pace.  Gotta love running the day after legs...I kinda wanted to quit but the conversation was too good to get behind.  My running friends are cooler than yours. ;)

early EARLY morning weight lifting.  5am on a holiday...when I didn't even have to work...I don't even know who I am anymore.  We worked some muscles.

6 miles on the Speedy Spaniard course with AmberD and then I added 3 more on the river trail.

10 miles on TRAILS:) with Jen, Scott, Melissa, and 3 of Jen's XC girls, 8:57 pace.  Jen found some new trails in Elk Ridge and they are so awesome!  They connect to Payson canyon and are a good variation of wide/single track.  They are really close to us and it will be so so nice for recovery.  We've still got some exploring to do to really figure them out but I'm so excited!

Weights - we worked tri's, chest, and core.

8 mile run with Amber, 7:48 pace.  Felt hard, I think running after weights is always a bit harder for me for some reason.  I'm sure I'll start to get more used to it.

10 miles with AmberD and melissa, 7:37 pace.  First attempt at Speedwork since the marathon on June 14th.  8 x 1 min on/off intervals.  I have no speed....it was ugly and I had to crawl to finish 10 miles. At least I have a starting point....at a blazing 6:46 pace for 1 minute! ;)

I'm going to Chicago for a week in August for work so I'm going to run a 10K while I'm there on August 10th.  Today's workout was my attempt at considering training for it.

Weights:  Legs day....very very wobbly legs

6 miles on the SF River trail mostly with my sister, AmberD, Mack, and Jen were there too, 8:30 pace.  I spent all night making tin can walkie talkies with extra long string so that I could talk to everyone with my wobbly legs but then I forgot to bring them.  Next time...

7 miles, 8:08 pace.  Sweating buckets and so tired and fatigued.  These weights are really kicking my trash.  In a good way, but it is taking me awhile to get used to.

Weights - shoulders, biceps, upper body.  45 min

1 hour run down to the river trail and then back up to the gym, 7:53 pace.  Second day in a row running by myself....so boring!  I'm pacing 1:35 at the Hobbler Half tomorrow.  I honestly hope I can hang!  My speed is basically nonexistent at this point.

Great article by Runners Connect yesterday.  I love the 4 takeaways and really needed to hear #1 especially since I've had a really crappy running year.

1.  Accept the ebb and flow of your running career

"It is extremely rare to have a running career in which every year boasts improvement."

2.  Accept the decrease in speed that comes with aging

3.  Focus on your own hard work rather than anyone else’s race results

4.  Be Brave

“courage is not the absence of fear, but the realization that something else is more important than that fear”.

So, take joy in the struggle and the sacrifice it takes to be a runner.  It’s part of what makes this sport so wonderful.

Race: Hobbler Half Pacing (12.92 Miles) 01:33:38
Slow milesFast milesTotal Distance
14.000.0014.00

Paced 1:35 at the Hobbler Half Marathon.  I know it is possible to lose satellite reception in the canyon but this course was definitely short.  I always pace off of mile markers and not my garmin but there was no 13 mile marker so this made pacing a challenge.  Rather than standing around and waiting until 1:35 to cross the mat I stayed exactly on my 7:15 per mile pace and crossed at 1:33:38.  I was right on pace the entire race and there isn't much I can do to control the fact that the course was short.

What I did do is immediately after crossing I started jogging back to let the other pacers know.  For those that pace what are your thoughts on this?  If the course is significantly short/long should you stay on your correct mile pace or still aim to hit overall time?  In my opinion it is tacky and bad pacing to slow down too much in the finishing shoot...anyway I was just wondering what others (Andy?) thoughts are?

AM:  7 miles at 10:30am, 8ish minute pace.  I got a very nice tan. :)

PM:  30 min walk, 20 min spin with my Mom.  Booked flights for my parents for Chicago.  They are going to fly in for the second half of the week and play around while I'm in conferences and then watch me race on Sunday.  I'm excited!

Weights - 45 min session working chest, tri's, and core

8 mile run mostly with AmberD, 7:54 pace.  Gosh whoever stole my running mojo should seriously give it back.  Every run just feels forced lately and I really just think it's harder to run after doing weights and in spanish fork.  meh...no offense to those that live there but that town kind of sucks to run in IMO.

11 miles with Melissa.  We started at the finish line of the Speedy Spaniard course and ran up the course and then back down...just cutting out part of the finish.  2 mile tempo 6:24, 6:31.  I am so ridiculously out of shape.  I was using every mantra in my brain and counting down the seconds to hit that 6:30!  bahaha Melissa and I nearly had to crawl to the drinking fountain at the park.  Hot, humid, and miserable out this morning.  Waah, waah, waah

8.5 miles with Jen, AmberD, and Melissa, 7:17 pace.  Crap Jen showed up...I've been avoiding her and her speedy pants quite well lately.  Ha!  We did 6 x 90 second on with 60 second breaks.  It was hard but it is good for me to work hard every once in awhile I guess.  I do not know when I got so soft and completely lost my toughness.

6.5 recovery miles solo in payson.  My first mile was a 9:08 and it was so lovely.  I was awake until 1am last night and think I was still asleep for the entire run.  I wish I could talk my friends into running this slow with me.

Race: Timpanogos Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:34:30

Paced 1:35 at the Timp half.  I love pacing but gosh I am so sick of waking up so early on Saturdays!  Anyway it was a fun race and I had a blast.  I am an idiot and only packed my Viratas (light weight).  Between that and the downhill pounding on my feet the last 4-5 miles of the race were pretty dang painful.  The pace was fine but I was just in pain. Lame!  We paced really well until the last 2 miles where the mile markers were off.  I sped up because I always pace by mile markers and didn't want to be off.  Of course the mile markers were off and not me so we ended up coming in a little early.  Overall I feel I did a good job and I helped quite a few runners.  It was a good day!

AM:  6.5 miles at noon.  This was the worst run I have had in such a long time.  I stopped to walk x 3.  Had I not been halfway through my loop I would have most definitely quit. ha!  Awful runs are humbling.

PM:  5ish mile hike to Battle Creek.  Fun times.

Weights working triceps, chest, and core.  I didn't go to bed until midnight so I was really proud of myself for waking up at 5am.  I was admittedly kind of lazy with the weights but at least I did it!

7.5 miles around SF with Amber, 7:58 pace.

10 miles in the orchards with AmberD and Melissa.  I was so tired I was trailing behind the entire time and felt like I literally had to work to keep up.  We were not even running fast...it was just a recovery run!  I don't know if it's the major lack of sleep or if something is seriously wrong with me.  Either way I felt really crappy!

I kinda ran the Speedy Spaniard...the only problem was it was not speedy at all and I wasn't registered.  I do not know what is wrong with me.  Even my lack of training and sleep does not justify how awful/awkward running anything under a 7min pace feels.  This is the weirdest thing I've ever experienced.  To be clear I am honestly completely okay with it.  But it is still weird and a little frustrating to look back at where I was a year ago.  Anyway 1.75 mi wu and then 5 mile tempo I guess I'll call it.  6:43, 6:23, 6:23, 6:41, 6:50.  I was so done and since I wasn't registered I saw no point in dragging out my misery.

Ran back for AmberD and then ran back for my sister.  Long jog back up to the cars after the race.  13 miles total for the day.  Felt like 20+ I haven't been so excited to stop running in awhile.  I was kinda sick the rest of the day.  I've been getting light headed and dizzy feeling super easy lately.  Maybe just the humidity and heat or maybe I'm dying.  ha!  Fun day with family nonetheless. :):)
