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.

I hate to be a big fat Whiner but I just really felt like crud this morning. It was way windy and I just felt like I was working hard to maintain an 8 minute pace. For some reason my left achilles is suddenly bothering me....not sure what thats all about. Anyway it wasn't pretty but I ran 10 miles. My body seems to be in some sort of funk and hopefully it snaps out of it soon!

Planks & pushups at home afterwards.

PM: Jogged for 20 minutes with the pup no watch. I felt about a thousand times betters this afternoon but will play it safe and take an extra recovery day. My left achilles is actually bruised and I think it happened when I tripped over my sisters Jogging stroller at her house last night and I just didn't realize it until running this morning.

AM #1: Slept in as long as possible without going crazy as advised by everyone and then just set out for an easy 4 miles. 4 turned into 5 and 5 turned into 6. I felt 100% better and definitely was not pushing myself. Achilles is still sore but not painful. I have been icing on and off throughout the day.

AM #2: Babysitting day and nephew wanted to go to the park. Put him in the stroller and started walking to the park. He is used to me running and just kept begging "Aunt Shell go fast" "Aunt Shell go fast". Okay fine! So we jogged a mile in 10+ minutes.

And so my originally planned 14 miles with 11 @ tempo pace turned into 7 miles at 8:30 pace. And I will live to run again and hopefully at 100%! The achilles thing is just weird....I will keep icing it and play it by ear for tomorrow. Definitely will not be doing a long tempo but maybe a shorter tempo if all systems are a go.

PM: 2.5 miles easy jogging with Izzy.

2 mile warmup and then 6 mile tempo 6:49, 6:45, 6:41, 6:39, 6:30, 6:25 (last 2 miles of the tempo are slightly aided). 2 mile cooldown. I honestly felt great during the tempo probably because I have ran really easy the past 3 days and I was mentally and physically craving faster miles. But as soon as I slowed I could feel my calfs tighten up a little.

Patience, Patience, Patience! EASY running (maybe even a day of cross-training blah!) the rest of the week and then pacing TOU 1:45 on Sat.

Aug 26th (3 weeks out): 9-10 mile tempo workout, Pocetello half marathon pacer 1:50 on Sat.

Sept 3rd (2 weeks out): Payson Onion Days 10K on Labor Day, maybe SF 5K on Sat the 8th....

Sept 10th (Race week): 3-4 mile tune up tempo, easy easy running

16 with Julie in Pleasant Grove. Thank goodness Julie did not want to push the pace or do the normal 4 fast because I felt kind of like crud! My legs are just tight and my stomach was acting up. We were both feeling craptastic and just happy to finish the miles. 7:58 pace. Very happy to have had the company because I definitely don't think I would have made it through the miles alone. Misery loves company and Julie was great company.

We both decided afterwards that no fuel, no hydration, and 70% humidity may have played a role in feeling like crap! Oh well you win some you lose some.

Was supposed to get a massage (first ever) today but it doesn't look like it will happen because of work. I am headed to Logan this afternoon with my Dad and will be pacing 1:45 at TOU tomorrow. I'm looking forward to spending time with my Dad and my Grandma. Hopefully the 8 min pace feels a little bit better tomorrow morning!

Paced the TOU Half Marathon yesterday. I was incredibly excited to train on the marathon course and it was really nice to get a feel for what I will be up against in 3 weeks. I had lots of runners with me yesterday and hit my paces almost perfectly finishing in 1:44:57 according to my Garmin. I have no seen official results yet. I really enjoyed spending time with my Dad and my Grandma and it was a great weekend.

Cooled down a little under 3 miles with Allie, Kelli, & Chad.

PM: 2 miles easy with the pup, 8:35 pace.
