Here we go..

Felt a little better today, glad to get through an 8 mile run.

Finally felt like I was getting back on track today. I did a 4 tempo today with Sariah and Angie started out conservative and went faster later in the run. 2 miles warm up and cool down. Splits 6:20, 6:33, 6:10, 6:13

Ran in North Ogden with my sister in law, she did really well. Nice change of scenery.

Cold morning, slick roads, fell hard once but good run with a good group. Sariah, Katie, and Angie. It went by really fast.

I have been very ill since Sunday. I caught a nasty bug and haven't been able to do anything including running. I'm down and out. Hoping my misery will end soon.i haven't been this sick in a long time.

Finally felt up to a run today just took it easy. Not feeling 100% yet.

Ran in South Weber in the nice weather. Feeling better today.

Run in South Weber, AP 7:40

6 miles in Ogden two miles faster to get my legs moving and ready for my race this saturday. 6:42, 6:38. Not sure what I will run the St. George half in after being out with illness last week. But happy to be running somewhere warm. 

Ran easy in South Weber

Run in Ogden

Ok, I'm glad I was able to go down and race. It had been a rough last 2 weeks with sickness. Feeling OK about the race and happy I placed first in my age group. I didn't have a lot of expectations going into the race, I thought I would try and keep the pace at around 6:30-6:35. I fell off the pace a little bit in miles 10-12, I need to work on that in my training. This was still an improvement from the Snow Canyon Half I ran in early November even though the time doesn't reflect that but this was a harder course. So hoping I can start stepping up my training in this next session. 

The gun went off and I tried to keep it in the 6:30s here's splits for the first half,  6:24, 6:33, 6:26, 6:28, 6:29, 6:40, 6:43 miles 6 and 7 had some good uphill.Mile 8 6:35, mile 9 6:32. Then I got to complacent and let the next 3 miles slip away from me and didn't push like I should've, 6:52, 6:50, 6:54 This is the part of the race i need to work on I need to push through ALL miles. The last mile I woke back up, got back to 6:29, and ended up passing the girl that was in my age group for first. 

Ran easy in South Weber, not as sore as I thought I would be from the race. Ready to figure out some goals for the Ogden Half I'm running in May. 

Ran in South Ogden while Sariah and Angie ran a workout. Feeling recovered from the race, I'll probably do a workout Thursday. AP 7:43

Run in South Weber. AP 7:35

Today I was thinking I would do some 400s but then decided to do a tempo instead since i didn't really have a good place to do the 400s. The tempo was just going to be based on how I felt rather hitting  a certain pace. I tried not to look at my watch while I was running. Splits (6:30, 6:34, 6:28, 6:20)

Cold and windy morning in South Weber. I wore some of Riley's fancy running clothes and realize he's had me running in rags. His expensive running clothes completely block out cold it was amazing.  

This was a PR for me, so I'm happy with how it turned out. I was so close to breaking 19 minutes I wish I would've realized that sooner in the race and went for it. I tried not to look at my watch during the race and just go after it. I was shocked at the pollution out there, it did not do wonders for my lungs. 5Ks just feel fast to me now and are over so quickly. I enjoyed the flatness of the course though. I wish I knew my exact splits but my watch is on the fritz right now and I need to get it figured out so I can retrieve my race results. But overall happy with how my race ended and there was a lot of fast competition in both the mens and womens races. Happy for Riley who won!

Went to HAFB gym today with the kids and ran on a nice treadmill. They lasted 53minutes in the play area so that's where I ended. I was trying to push for 60 minutes but in all honesty 53 minutes was a success with the kids. 

I did a tempo run today on the South Ogden loop. Warmed up 2 miles and did a 4 mile tempo with the goal of 6:20s, I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome here's the splits 6:19, 6:20, 6:10, 6:12. 2 mile cool down. 

Got a run in while my friend watched kids. Hoping to get on the treadmill later and get a few more miles in.

Ran at HAFB treadmill this afternoon. 4 more easy miles

I went to HAFB again today to do a workout on the treadmill. I did 6x1000, what I actually did was 5:52 pace on the treadmill for 3:40 six times with 2 minute jog in between, (not sure if that makes sense). I don't know how to adjust treadmills to do the workout I want and I didn't have time to figure it out. I cut my cool down short because I had to use the restroom.

Easy run on the treadmill at the gym I'm glad my kids did well there this week.
