Plan 6 x 800s. This is just me thinking up random speedworks on any given day. I have no real schedule. Hope it works for me : D. When I got to the gym I was thinking I was ready but as I warmed up I was seriously not in the mood for speed. No soreness just a blahness. But managed a two mile warm up, 1%, 8:26ap. Just random slow to slower to a little faster to slower warmup to get the muscles to waken fully. Ran exactly as planned. Phew. I did it and didn't cop out. So 9.8 mph x 2, 9.9 mph x 2, 10 mph x 3 (6:07, 6:03, 6:00) x 1/2 mile. With equal time recovery jog at 6.8 mph (8:49 pace) for 3 minutes. All at 0 percent incline. No need to overdo it. Was at 2% yesterday entire run. I just needed my legs to check in with some speed for longer than a minute (ons/offs) and this sufficed. Cooled down for just over a mile to make it an even 8.5 miles. AP for 8.5 = 7:34. 20 minutes upper body. Haven't done that in a while. I even did a couple of ball squats. I actually like doing those. I feel so strong when I finish them. My leg muscles are burning :D. Got some new iron supplement called hemaplex. It is a a whole food supplement and is less expensive than floradix liquid iron. Also started taking kelp and zinc. Time will tell. So next few days will be real easy with some strides on thurs or friday x 5 probably. Saturday's half marathon should be interesting. I plan to go music and garmin-less. |

drove to saratoga spring vista heights jr high and met jen (neasts) for a very nice run in the foothills there. just took it real easy. it was cool out but sun was shining. i quickly lost my jacket and placed it around my waist. Jen wears hokas (sp). Forgot to try them on Jen. She totally runs ultras in them. They are funky looking. Better looking than the guy version. We had a great run with about two miles on trail. She even spoiled me with a powerade stop. That's service!! we didn't care that we just stood there taking the time to drink it all in--scenery and sports drink. She showed me her next conquest that she can see from her house-- a 50 k that climbs all around Camp Williams and this mountain of a hill in north Eagle Mountain. YIKES. Next year for me!! Got too much on my plate this summer. We will have to keep our eyes on Jen as she takes that beast on!!. 8.3 miles @ 8:32 pace. Good that it felt like a 9:30 ap. I needed this recovery run. |

| slept four hours after two 12.5 hour busy no sitting down shifts. totally had no time to think about a race. i was awake, wide awake at 337am!! kim (taylor) picked me up at 610. ran 3 mile wu at 8:06. i felt awful. my joints in my feet especially right big toe joint was stiff and painful to push off. i was really worried in the wu. my legs were nonresponsive. i really felt i was now not capable of my 1:30 goal. the course is ridiculously challenging....cobblestones, hairpin turns and steep inclines/declines at every moment. no repreive. and with my anemia my heart rate could not recover. the concrete on golf course aggravated all my joint pains. i was ready to quit at mile five . i kept kim cowart in my sight til mile 10.5 and then just gave up when i saw the last uphill. i was in a lot of pain and my breathing accenuated it all. i was the first master woman so i won 300 dollars. next master was at 1:40. only my gun time shows on results since i was an overall winner. my time was five seconds faster..since i was just behind kim at the starting line and she had four seconds off. she was forth overall. she rocked it with a 1:27:31. i had nothing to give i. this race. it was over before it started. not sure how i am going to survive ogden, and the slam. this race was too much for me. watch in time mode only. no music. should i have worn music? probably. i was alone the entire race. brief passes or passing remarks. i said thanks to the volunteers at every station with a smile. i seriously appreciate them. they were awesome i really feel lack of sleep, two busy shifts and my low iron is to blame. i am capable of so much of a better performance jere. i lnow ot and the joint pain was unexpected and seems to be something systemic. i am being checked for rheumatoid arthritis. i also plan on a reformed diet to elliminate inflammation. 1 mile cooldown. mit wasnt worth the extra mile on joints. |
