Ran from home.  Kind of an emotional run.  May have had something to do with my music choice.  Average pace 9:50.

I ran with Peggy and Cheris.  3 mile warm and then we ran 5x1000 meters with a short recovery.  The first two repeats were good.  The last three were into the wind and were hard.

7:13, 7:13, 7:50, 7:41, 7:51

I'm having some pain in my lower left leg.

I got to Riverton park and warmed up for about 1/2 mile before the race started.  My plan was to use this as my marathon paced tempo run.   For some reason we did a big loop around the park when the gun went off.  That added over a half mile to race.   I was happy with my pacing for the most part.  I hit 6.2 at the bottom of the steep uphill switchbacks.  I was kind of done at the point.  I did end up finishing 1st in my age group.  8:08, 8:35, 8:07, 8:11, 8:14, 8:07 and 8:53.  Average 8:19

I'm following the HMM training plan and decided to use this as my long run for the week.  I went in without tapering at all, including running the Riverton 10k just 3 days before.  I could fill the fatigue in my legs right from the start.  I knew it wasn't going to be a fast race, so I decided to think of it as the last 13.1 miles of St. George.  I did slow down more than I wanted in a few of the later miles.  Overall it was a run race.  I went down with Peggy and Cheris.  Average pace 8:12.

Ran with the BBKs.  I got there early and warmed up for 2 miles.  Then we ran the 5k loop twice.  My glute/hip/hammie is still so tight and kind of hurts.  I named the run - Just rip the bank-aid off run.  I'm ready.  My miles were:  10:49, 9:18, 9:07, 8:31, 8:24, 8:31, 8:36, 8:32 and 9:11.  Average 8:59

I met Cheris and Andy at the trail at O. Roi Hardy at 6:00.  We ran 7 miles and then picked up Michelle and I ran another 4.  I had some pretty bad side stitches that forced me to stop a few times.  I'm thinking maybe it's a dehydration issue.  Average pace 9:00.

I met Cheris and Peggy at SJ soccer fields.  We warmed up for 2.5 miles.  Then we did a ladder workout 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 1200, 800 and 400.  We included the Rustic Roads hill in the repeats.  400 = 7:42, 800 = 7:22, 1200 = 7:55, 1600 = 7:51, 1200 = 7:35, 800 = 7:27, 400 = 7:24.  I didn't always get the full 400 recovery between each one.  Short CD after.

Eight miles on the BSL trail starting at the equestrian park.  I looked forward to this run all week.  It had rained the day before and it was a beautiful morning.  I loved every minute of it.

Cheris picked Jackie and me up at my house at 3:50 am.  We drove to Eccles Stadium and got on the buses.  It was really warm in town.  It was a little cooler up the canyon.  The race started at 6:30.  It was my first time on this course and I really liked it.  I held back the first mile and tried to ease into my pace.  I passed Jackie at about mile 3.  I had a Gu a mile 4 and another around 9 or 10.  I carried my little bottle with Gatorade and sipped on that for the first 10 miles. It was a fun atmosphere running on the parade route.  There were tons of 5k people walking side by side.  That made it difficult to get around.  I did a lot of dodging the last 1.5 miles.  Overall it was a good race.  I finished the race and headed straight to the porta potties.  I'm glad I didn't have to waste time during the race.  My splits are 7:51, 7:37, 7:30, 7:32, 7:44, 7:33, 7:29, 7:48, 7:22, 8:04, 7:53, 7:42, 8:00 and 7:59 avg for .22.  Overall average pace 7:42.  I've lost about 5-6 lbs in the last month.  That's a lot for me.

1.5 miles wu, 3x1600 w/ .5 recovery (7:18, 7:18 and 7:13), 1 mile cool down

It was so hot in the gym.  I got it done.
