Marathon PR St. George 2008 3:36

Ran Boston in April 2009 and had an absolute blast.

Half Marathon PR 1:35.

10k PR-46:20 (Obviously not a great short distance runner:)

 

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.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

Picked up CJ this morning and ran on the JRP at 9:07 AP. Felt good today. I was pretty sore Saturday night and yesterday so I was glad I felt rejuvinated today.

Met the BBK's this morning at Bingham Track. We warmed up for 3 miles off the track and 1 mile on AP 9:10. The speed consisted of a 5k broken up 400, 800, 3x1000 (all with 200 recoveries and they were SLOW recoveries around 10:00+ pace) then a 2 mile tempo off track. We came back to the track and we were supposed to do another 400 and 200 to finish off the 5k but I needed to cooldown and didn't have time to do both so I finished and hurried home. AP for the speed (with recoveries and cooldown) 8:05.

1-7:33, 2-7:34, 3-7:49, 4-8:31, 5-8:01, 6-8:54 (included cooldown)

All in all I felt pretty good today but I definitely could feel my race from Friday. Heavy legs, heavy breathing. Someday, hopefully soon, I'll get back to normal.

Did core work, back and biceps and some good stretching.

Went to step today and it was about 85 degrees in the room and we stepped at 148 BPM. Holy crap I think my heart rate was above AT most of the class. I planned on running a couple of miles but I was too tired. So, that is it!

My legs were quite sore from step yesterday and I was tired so I bagged it today!

Met up at Albertsons in Draper to run Wasatch Blvd. with Julie, Angela, Michelle M. and Dean. Made it up the big monster hill without walking today. Felt quite good today other than the chili I had for dinner:) At the half way point our AP was 9:12 and at the end it was 8:54 so a definite negative split. I really love this run.
