4 mile tempo with 4x400s at the end. First warm workout day for me. The temperature was 77 degrees when I started. I ran the tempo starting at Bonneville road. Splits: 6:27, 6:38, 6:29, 6:27 then 86, 85, 82, 87. I was hoping for a little faster but felt like my energy was low.

I didn't run yesterday because of some minor issues. I came back today with a workout planned. My legs didn't feel great. I kept motifying my workout. I started out thinking I would do 1000s, I ended up doing  spme kind of step down. 1000, 1000, 600, 600, 600, 600, 400, 400, 200, 200. Splits were 3:43, 3:43, 2:19, 2:12, 2:13, 2:13, 83, 83, 37, 38.

I decided to get my long run done today since Riley is off work. I ran most of my run with Merrilee and Alyssa. The last half hour was on my own. My legs have felt crummy all week. I'm not sure why. Hopefully they'll feel better for next weeks Ogden Half.

I did a 3 mile warm up. My plan was some 6x400 today, just a tune up for the Ogden half on Saturday. I did a loop in Sariah's neighborhood since she was watching my kids. Splits: 83, 79, 82, 81, 79, 77. Faster then I expected but I'm glad my legs finally felt good today. It gives me hope for Saturday.

I was convinced the day before this race the weather wouldn't be bad. It couldn't be, the weather was terrible last year at this race, this year should've been a nice year. I was wrong. The weather was terrible, downpour and wind. I was excited to be at the race because of the atmosphere and because of how many people I knew in the race. It was fun seeing so many Utahrunning.com runners in yellow jerseys. I wish I could've watched the race instead, some of my friends had incredible races despite the weather. I'm glad I was able to see Riley finish the marathon, it was an incredible race for him yesterday. He worked hard for that. I feel like I coasted a little in my race, not that I would've been much faster had I been more determined to hit a certain pace, but I didn't really go after it as hard as I should've. The biggest reason being pregnancy. I'm still happy with it, I'm glad I ran it. The weather got steadily worse as the race progressed. Maybe next year the weather will cooperate? Splits were 6:50, 6:33, 6:36, 6:46, 6:30, 6:43, 6:47, 6:44, 6:38, 6:41, 6:42, 6:48, 6:49. AP 6:42

Also you won't find my results online. I must've had a faulty chip. Nothing registered. Oh well.

I pushed my youngest in the stroller while my other 2 kids were in tumbling class. I'm still sick today, just not as bad as yesterday. I have a head cold and low energy. I felt terrible on the run.

I'm slowly shaking this head cold, but it leaves me feeling lethargic on my runs. I pushed my two kids today slowly on the parkway.
