I had planned to meet Michelle at 7:00 to run outside.  It was windy and raining so we went to the gym instead.  It was a great run for being on the treamill.  We ran a 5k at the end at an 8:00 avg pace with a 6:57 final quarter mile.  My HR was at 183 for most of the 5k.  I was not breathless and I felt fine.  Average pace overall was about 8:30.

4 very slow and easy miles.  My hamstrings are sore from the treadmill run yesterday.  I plan on running a few more miles tonight.

I drove down Friday with Angela, Michelle N., Cheris, Michelle M., Kris and Dean.  We stayed at a cabin in New Harmony.  Cheris made us a yummy spaghetti dinner with salad and fruit.  Saturday morning we got a little lost trying to find Snow Canyon high school.  We finally found it and got on the second to last bus to the start.  The weather was perfect.  The course has a lot of down and up hills.  My mile splits were:

1. 6:50

2. 6:56 (The first 2 miles are very downhill)

3. 7:37

4. 8:16

5. 8:09 (miles 4 and 5 are mostly uphill on a gravel road)

6. 7:34

7. 8:17

8: 7:37

9: 7:50

10: 7:40

11: 7:50

12: 7:56

13: 7:57

Average pace 7:41

This was a very fun trip.  I'm so glad I went.  It's nice to have one of my two runner's series races done.

I met Michelle at her house.  She took me on a running tour of Bluffdale and Riverton.  It was very hilly.  It felt like we were running faster than we were.  The company was great.  Average pace 8:45.

Met Cheris, Michelle, Lisa, and Nancy at 5:15 at Cheris' house.  Then Cheris led us (and the rest of the BBK's) on a great route with lots of hills.  I am kind of sore today which tells me that I need to do these hills more often.  It was a fun run.  I love starting so close to home.  I got 10 whole extra minutes of sleep.  Average pace 8:45.

Met Cheris, Michelle M., Peggy, Eric, Lisa and Wade at Cheris' house.  For some reason, my last two Saturday runs have seemed hard.  My legs were tired and heavy by about mile 8.  It was fun getting to talk to everyone.  Average pace 8:45.

Nice and easy run this morning.  It was cold when I started, but felt perfect after a few minutes.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!

Cheris picked me up and we met at Michelle M's house.  We ran down to the Riverfront parking lot to meet the BBK's.  I never really felt great.  I really struggled to keep up.  I kept hoping Jerry would come by and give me a ride home.  He never did and I managed to finish the run.

I met Cheris, Michelle M. and Peggy at Cheris' house.  We ran down 2200 W.  We ran out 5 miles and back.   I felt similar to the way I felt Thursday.   Not too great.                  Average pace 8:29.  My left foot has been throbbing all day.  I hope it's not my new shoes.
