Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences. I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn. I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.

9 miles easy, 7:50 pace. Felt great!

I just figured out while running this morning that the pace I ran yesterday for the 5K (6:16) is the pace I would need to run for 26.2 miles to OTQ. I think it is possible. Not in the near future but maybe some day?

10 miles Santaquin Orchard loop mostly in the dark. The sun is rising later and later. :( 7:54 pace.

PM: 3.6 miles easy, 8:20 pace. 4 phone calls from work made for a pretty unproductive run.

Tuesday tempo workout. Same route as last week with an added mile. 1 mile warmup and then 10 mile tempo 6:55, 6:51, 6:44, 6:44, 6:33, 6:39, 6:45, 6:37, 6:36, 6:30. 2.2 mi cooldown jog back to my house. I always psych myself out for these workouts but once I get going it isn't too bad. I lost almost 4lbs of sweat during the workout and probably should figure out a way to practice taking fluids during these harder tempos.

Definitely a slurpee worthy workout today. :)

PM: 2.3 mi easy. Started with the pup, finished alone.

Started running in the 5 o'clock hour this morning which is totally against my running religion but it was so worth it to have some company. 8 miles easy with Josh around Springville. 8:20 pace.

20 minutes upper body weights at the gym

1 mile cooldown on the treadmill

Can I bribe anyone into joining me for 20 miles on Friday or Saturday? I'll buy you a slurpee....

PM: 3 miles easy, 7:48 pace. My body is still pretty fatigued from the hard tempo tuesday so I may take an extra recovery day.

Warmed up for 30 minutes and then did 16 x 1 minute on/off sprints at about 5k effort. I say effort because I started this uphill. I was planning to do 20 but when the 16th came in quite a bit slower I decided to call the workout and jog it in. My legs were toast and I saw no benefit in killing myself. 9.8 miles total. 7:21 AP

LR this Saturday if anyone wants to join. Meeting at the Wynnsong theatre in Provo at 6:15am. 18-20 miles out and back up the dreaded Provo Canyon. It will be fun!

PM: Ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes. 3.5 miles. Attempted weights at the gym but got bored after 5 seconds. Tired!

10 miles, 7:58 pace. I haven't struggled through miles like I did today in a long time. Energy was low, legs felt fatigued, and I just felt like I was going through the motions. I think I am going to hold back on the shorter interval speed workouts like I did yesterday until after TOU. They really seem to irritate my left hamstring and just probably aren't worth the recovery toll they take on my body in the grand scheme of things.

20 minutes upper body weights.

Good luck to everyone racing Park City and Hobble Creek tomorrow!!

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!
