19 miles with JulieC in Provo this morning. After yesterdays terrible run I did not know what to expect today but it ended up being a great run. I love running with Julie because I feel like we are on the exact same page training wise. We like to chat and run easy! Mental health hour! :D She only needed 18 and I wanted 20 so I tried to get to our meeting spot early to run the extra 2. Instead I chose sleep and got there in time to do 1 mile. Oh well 19 is plenty. :)
We ran up Provo Canyon and then 2 miles up southfork. First 14 miles were easy and then we did a 4 mile tempo 6:43, 6:40, 6:41, 6:28. 1 mile cooldown to hit 19. Overall pace for the run was 7:41. I took a GU for the first time in a long time in a training run and I think that really helped my energy level. Overall I felt pretty good today. :)
Julie even talked me into icing in the river afterwards. I think I was more nervous about this than I was about the run. haha it wasn't so bad!
PM: 2.5 mile shakeout run with the pup at the track. It was a small miracle that there was no one at the track tonight and I felt awesome. The sunset was gorgeous! |
