two easy two at half marathon pace (a little slower than wanted because of week off) three minute jog, two at half marathon pace.  Then three minute jog.  No two mile cool down.  Had chiro appt which oddly as  I drove there she called to change it to a half hour later.  Oh well too cooled down to run two easy.  At least I help them out..  7:41 for half marathon pace.  8:41 and 8:34 pace for warm up.  always 1 % incline.

8 miles at 8:34 avg.  slowest mile 9:02.  Fastest 8:04 (last).  Ran to AF high and up back side of Art Dye Park and on trail over east and down silo road.  8 miles.  

Then it's my daughter Amber's 15th birthday.  Took her to Kneaders with two of her friends.  Bailey and Zoe.  Then ice skating from 1130 -130.  Stretched and did some other exercises.   It was so nice out that I decided to run two more miles at avg 8:35 (8:50 and 8:20).  The girls had fun.  Now they are at the new Star Wars movie as I write this with popcorn and soda in tow.  :D

started up at fork in AF canyon.  Ran up to top (2.32 miles) then turned around and ran 5 x 1 mile repeats at half marathon pace.  Ended up being a lot faster than that.   But glad I finished considering I could barely stand on my left leg when I woke and before bed due to piriformis and nerve pain from that to upper thigh.  basically made my leg feel like it was going to collapse.  but painfully so.  9:08 mile first mile then 9:20 mile which included half of that lovely steep climb to Tibble fork reservoir.  Ran those miles with Kim and Jane and Marissa. We met up with Jenny and Angie at the top.  repeat #1 hard to tell as it was 0.32 miles of up hill on it but mile was 7:57 when it flipped over to next mile for 0.26 miles pace was at 6:29 so  I am guessing first mile was 6:45-6:50.  Next mile 7:05, and third mile also 7:05.  Forth was 6:59 and fifth was 6:45.  Ran 2.61 cooldown to cars.
