The group was meeting at Bingham today.  I got there a little early and ran about 1.5 miles before the main workout.  Cheryl was is charge.  It was a really good workout.  After yesterday's pitiful run, I was happy to have a little bit of speed in my legs.

I started this run at 9:00 am.  It was already hot and my legs were just plain tired.  I ran the hilly route.

Because of the construction at the Riverton park, the race this year started at CR Hamilton park.  Taylor agreed to pace me as long as I promised to not run slower than a 7:50 average pace.  About 3+ miles of this course are on canal roads.  I'm not very fast on this type of course and the head wind didn't help.  The course measured long at 6.45 miles.  On my watch I hit the 10k at about 48:xx.  Taylor was funny and kept yelling at me to pick it up.  It was great having her there with me.  My splits were 7:37, 7:57, 8:06, 7:57, 7:26, 7:53, and 8:00 avg. for the .45.  Average pace 7:49.  We also warmed up for a mile and cooled down for a mile.

I ended up feeling pretty sick yesterday after the 10k. I'm pretty sure I was just really dehydrated. I met Angela at her house this morning for a long trail run. The first mile from her house to the trailhead by the equestrian park is uphill and so windy. I knew I was in trouble when we got to the trail. We ran on the trail for 5 miles then a added 1.5 miles on wasatch blvd. Then we turned around and ran back. It was one of the worst runs I've had in a long time. Angela ended up running an extra mile more than I did.

The group was meeting at o'roi hardy park. I got there 20 minutes early and ran 2.5 miles with Cheri's. After the others got there, we did another mile for everyone to warm up. Then we did several intervals of 3 minutes fast and 3 minutes recovery. My glutes are pretty sore so I must've pushed myself hard on the speed.

I parked at the trailhead but didn't get on the trail until about mile 3.  My legs are still feeling exhausted.  I think I may have pushed myself too hard on the speed work I did Tuesday.  I have a lot to learn.  I hope they feel better for Hobbler 1/2 Saturday.

My sister signed us both up for this race.  A few weeks later, she found out she would be at trek and couldn't run.  I decided to run it anyway.  I woke up at 3:00 AM and drove to Springville.  I probably didn't need to leave quite that early, but still had to pick up my packet.  I had heard that the times on this course were comparable to Utah Valley 1/2.  I decided to just try finish under 1:40.  At mile 4 the 1:40 pacer passed me and got quite a bit ahead.  I was really discouraged.  I knew I was pushing as hard as I could.  My Garmin was way off of the mile markers so I wasn't sure what pace I was really going.  At mile 6 you get off the road and run on a dirt road for about a 1/4 mile.  I didn't like that.  It reminded me of the canal road last week.  At mile 9 I passed the 1:40 pacers.  They were walking.  They must have realized they were way ahead. I'm guessing they were having the same Garmin issues I was.  I felt much better after I passed them.  I felt really strong all the way to the end.  I even passed quite a few people those last few miles.  My Garmin showed the distance as 12:93 so my splits are way off, but here they are anyway.

7:33, 7:26, 7:16, 7:23, 7:19, 7:21, 7:16, 7:26, 7:27, 7:36, 7:46, 7:45, and 7:24 pace for the last .93.  

I had a Gu at miles 4 and 11.  I also took Ibuprofen at mile 11.  I think that helps me a ton.  I ate a banana and bagel at about 4:30.  I took 2 Immodium when I woke up and 1 an hour before the race.  It worked.  I didn't have any stomach issues.

I'm off work today so I started my run 7:30.  It was way hot by the time I finished.  My legs were still a little tired from the race.  I don't have another race until Hobble Creek next month, so hopefully I'll be able to start building my weekly milage up.  It's been fun doing all of these races the past 5 weeks, but the recovery time has made it hard to run as many miles as I would like to.

I met the group at the church on 11400 S. and 3300 W.   We warmed up for a mile and then started the workout.  We did 10 x 3 minutes fast with 2 minutes slow recovery.  I should be keeping track of the paces, but I haven't really cared to.  I felt I was myself pretty hard.  Most of the time when I looked at my watch the fast paces where close to 7:00 mm.  After everyone else left, I ran another 3 miles.  

I'm off work until Thursday so Taylor and I took Trax to Gateway.  We did a little shopping and saw Malificent.  It was a fun but hot day.

This morning I ran BST with Taylor and her friend Makayla.  It was a great run.  They are both super speedy college runners who could have left me in their dust, but they kept the pace to where I could keep up.  Jerry and Austin mountain biked while we ran.  We finished our run before they got back so I ran an extra mile until they got there.  Average pace 9:29.

The plan was to run 10 miles this morning.  At about 3.5 miles in I fell.  I tripped on a raised part of the sidewalk and fell hard onto the road.  I jammed my big toe and scrapped up my left knee, shoulder and palm.  There were a ton of cars around, so I jumped up quickly and kept going.  I ended up cutting the run short.  I hate when I fall.  The older I get the longer it takes for my body to recover.

I ran with Angela and Jeff on the trails.  We added an out and back on the Ghost Falls trail to get more miles in.  It was a tough run.  16 miles on the trails feels like 20 miles on the road.

Not a good run for me.  Major stomach issues.  I had planned on 10.  I ran 5 then went into work to make sure someone was there.  I decided I was done and didn't run anymore.

I've had stomach issues all week while running. I may have been dehydrated.  I decided to play it safe and run on the treadmill at work. I warmed up for a mile, then I ran 3 minutes at 7:00 mm pace and walked for 2 minutes.  I did 7 repeats.  Then I cooled down for about a 1/2 mile.  It was hot in the gym with all the guys doing their workout.

I ran with Taylor from home to the trail.  We went South on the trail then turned around and ran back home.  We ran on the horse trail until we saw a fox.  Taylor got nervous so we turned around and got back on the paved trail.  We started at 7:30 and it so hot and windy.

Taylor and I met Cheryl, Lisa, Peggy and Debbie at the Coyote Hollow Trailhead this morning.  We ran 6 miles on the trails and finished with one mile on the road back to the cars.  It was a nice morning.

Angela was doing the Spudman Tri today, so I ran 13 miles with Jeff.  We met at the JRP trail and ran North for 6.5 and then turned around and ran back.  We kept the pace right at 9:00 mm the whole time.  It was a good run.  I hurried home and took my kids to kids to Park City for the family reunion.

I got to work early so I could get a longer run in on the treadmill.  The gym was locked so I ran 3 miles outside then went back and ran 4 more on the treadmill.

The group was meeting at SJ soccer fields.  I love when we meet there because I know there will be a bathroom close by and I had to use it twice today.  I don't know what's wrong with me.  I got there 20 minutes early and got about 2.2 miles in before the workout started.  When everyone got there, we ran an easy paced 2 miles.  For the workout, we did 4 x 1200 with a 2 minute recovery between.  We started at 2200 and ran down to Redwood for repeats 1 and 3 and in reverse for 2 and 4.  The downhill repeats were at about 6:30-6:45 pace.  The uphill repeats were about 30 seconds per mile slower.  Then I ran until I hit 9 miles.  It rained a little while we ran and was very humid.  Just as I finished, the rain really started coming down. There are some big changes at work going this week that I'm really happy about.

I ran 6.5 miles on the treadmill at work.  I also walked for 30 minutes during lunch.  I've noticed that when I walk during lunch I'm way more tired at night.

Taylor and I met the group at the church on Tithing Hill.  We warmed up for about 1.5 miles.  We were supposed to run a 5 mile tempo run.  I ran with Cheris, Corissa and Jeff.  The pace was probably more like a marathon pace run than a tempo.  I cooled down until I hit 7 miles.  I walked for 30 minutes again during lunch.
