| 1/2 mile at 8:13 pace 1 % incline. Then 5.5 miles at 2 %-- 8:13 x 1/2 mile, 8:06 x 1 mile , 8:00x1, 7:53x 1, 7:47x 1, 7:30-7:41 x 1, 7:24-7:30 for half mile then back to 1 % incline with one mile at 6:31 then one mile AP 6:15 (had to increase to 10 mph for a bit to get my goal of 60 minutes). Finished 8 miles in 59:56. so just under 7:30 AP for all 8 miles. Sure not easy when I wasn't going that fast the first few miles and at 2 % incline for most of it. But 2 % felt like 1 % really. I sweat a lot. It is hot in the rec center. My water bottle cut me on my thumb at mile 4 whan the cap's plastic had a little piece that didn't come off . OUCH!! I usually don't have a water bottle so not happy I brought one only to be cursed!! Over it now I suppose : D. |

| okay getting out at 12:30 during the day has got to be the hardest time for me!! I am at that point when I could totally talk myself out of a run...wishing I had gotten up at 530am before marathon shopping and it would have been done with. But I didn't do that so I paid the price of running tired and in the cold no sun in the sky day. See I awoke at 7am got bills paid and the kids off to school with us as the carpool. Then Troy and I promptly drove to Walmart for our Double coupon and Price match marathon Tuesday (we do this every other Tuesday when I am off). We got done in a Marathon World Record time of 2:05!!! seriously it has taken us as long as 3:30!!! We are getting the system done I guess and we had a fast checker. That makes a lot of difference. Well it didn't stop there. After unpacking and putting away all the groceries (over 350 dollars worth for 182 dollars) I FINALLY took it some kCals. I had forgotten to eat breakfast in our rush out the door and was surprisingly not hungry until we were almost home. I ate some wholegrain cereal, small banana and three pieces of turkey bacon (sure felt that on my run). THEN we drove to Costco and finished up our shopping. Went to the Dollar Store for whipped cream but they were out. So came back and was near 1230!!! Geez. I just didn't feel in the mood and my stomach was off kilter due to eating a late breakfast and eating some handouts from Costco-- not so healthy ones. I just headed for the Hills, Cedar Hills that is and got on the Canal and headed south for 3 miles then turned back and went down 1100 north back to my house. Pace hidden. Time mode as usual so I ended where I thought I was at near 8 min miles. I ended up at 7:34 pace for 8.49 miles. I was doing better than I thought. :D. Shower time. Oh yah, wore shorts and short sleeves with a headband and gloves and compression socks. Thighs were red. It was a bit nippy without the sun. |

| Met up with Rachelle at 6am at Macey's in Orem. We ran up the canyon and back. Turned around just over 35 minutes to make sure we got 8 or more miles. Time flies when you are running with a friend. Faster alone runs seem much longer to me!! Nice headwind but not the deathchill this time of year usually brings out of Provo Canyon. Was able to take my gloves and top layer off. Thanks Rachelle for inviting me!! 8.54 miles @ 7:58 AP. Honestly thought we were well over 8 min miles so nice to see easy for us is 8 even. We seem to have the 8 min/mile cadence down perfectly. Although we were back 2 minutes and 45 seconds faster than our way up. All effort based however. Nothing forced. All 'au natural'. Feeling good. |

Since Jane is pregnant I am her replacement with Kim. I was going to run in Payson with the fun group but Kim needed a running friend and since I am willing to attempt her wanted pace and buck up and do it since my injury is gone, I figured I mineaswell get a good tempo run in with GREAT company. We ran up to the Canal via the farm road which of course includes the steep hill by Kim's. Not fun the first few miles ; D. Got on the canal and ran til Kim's watch beeped at 7 miles and turned around. I had placed water at 1100 north and the canal only 1.7 miles from my house but five miles the way we ran. My watch in stop watch mode. So just kept going at Kim's pace. And of course we had to talk the whole way so that was interesting-- a tempo talk run. Kim is well skilled at talking and running that pace but me on the other hand-- it took some practice and I just relaxed as best I could. We stopped VERY briefly twice-- once at mile 5ish and at mile 9 ish on the way back. This run would have felt a lot better if I had not been surprised by my cousin's visit a few days ago. Most likely her visit will be longer this time. She hasn't visited in 7 months!!! SO..of course she made me eat crap with her, things I don't usually eat. Lead legs o' rama!! AP 7:12 for 14.88 miles. Not out of breath just feeling five pounds heavier than usual. The scale showing it!! When my cousin leaves I am going to stop this crap fest!!! |
