I had plenty of opportunities to run with people this morning, but I really just wanted to sleep in. I also didn't know how far my body would carry me and didn't really want to committ to any distance. I got my beauty sleep and then headed out aimlessly without a plan. Ended up with 9 miles easy (70 min), some of it up payson canyon and then a 5 mi tempo 6:31, 6:17, 6:12, 6:12, 6:10. 1.5 mi trot (literally 8:30 pace and some walking) back to my house. I guess you could call this a depletion run because I never stopped the watch once and had no fluids, ect. Or maybe I'm just calling it that to make myself feel better about it? Ha! This solo run gave me plenty of alone time to think and made a few things clear to me. 1. My feet are still a problem. 2. I am no where near in shape to race a marathon right now. 3. This was a big week for me and I am wiped out! Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. Either way I'm headed on vacation today with my family and looking forward to taking 4-5 days off of any sort of workouts. Hopefully I can even talk my sister into jogging with me. AM 2: 2.5 mi with Christie. .5 chasing her down the last half mi of the 5k and then a nice and easy 2 mi cool down with her after the race. Did I mention that she freaking won the tri!!!! Yep she killed it and is looking so good going into stg half ironman. Very fun to watch her and I am very proud of that girl. |
