Short-Term Running Goals:

I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

6 easy miles around Bluffdale. AP 9:28. It felt great to run that easy. Now, I hopefully will have some energy for the group run tomorrow.

Met the BBK's this beautiful morning:)  We warmed up for 3.6 miles with an AP of 9:10. The speed was on the track this morning. We did a 1200 5K-1/2 marathon pace to determine partners for relays. I was paired up with Julie. We did 8x600 (4 each) @ 5K pace or faster. We then regrouped and did 400 on/400 off 3 times, followed by 2 laps of all out on straight recovering on curves. I only did 1 cooldown lap. I was spent! AP for speed part was 7:44. I am struggling to get back into things. Hope it comes back soon:)

I was pretty tired from the group run yesterday. I did the same loop I did Monday through Bluffdale. AP 9:21. I felt great up until the last mile and I died. It is uphill the last 1.75 miles so that would explain it. I guess pushing at the end makes ya tougher:)

Well, my modem kicked the bucket today so I entered my mileage from my phone but I couldn't get anything else entered. I feel like such a computer geek. I bought a new modem and got it all installed. Oh, the feeling of success with computer problems is great!

Anyway, I met the BBK's this morning and we ran a pretty easy pace out 9800 So. to 4800 W. and back to 2200 W. Overall pace was 8:53. Not my best time and effort.

Can I just start by saying that I really dislike 10K's!!! Tough distance to race. I am definitely not in the greatest shape right now and today showed that for sure. Also, this is kind of a tough course. Flat or uphill are all ya get:) Oh, there is a teeny bit of down but not much. Last year they had around 250 runners for this race and this year there were 411!

I started with Julie and Rachel and felt pretty strong the first mile or so but my legs started aching pretty quick. My breathing evened out around mile 3 but my legs just didn't want to go any faster than they were going. I had 3 of my middle miles in the 8's but my other 3.2 were mid 7's so...Anyway, not my greatest race, although, a PR for a 10K race. I have only run 5 10Ks and they have all been at a bad time for me physically. Not a great PR but a PR none the less. I'm hoping to do the Deseret News 10K and bring that time down. AP 7:57.
