Catch me if you can

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 met the BBKs at Riverton High school.  We ran a 6 mile loop.  Then Jody and I ran another 1/2 mile around the school.  It was a good run.  Average pace 8:34.

I had to get my daughter to school early today so wasn't able to run with the group at Kelli's  house.  Average pace 8:42.

Cycle class with Jen.  (speed play)  I felt great.  Average HR for 70 minutes was 158.  Max 183.  My left knee hurt after.  I need to adjust my clip. 

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.
