Today I ran from Beus pond. I ran my first mile at the pond then went on the trails for the next 5 miles and finished my last mile back at Beus because of the nice shade. I ran at 1 in the afternoon, not the smartest time of day to run but I got through it ok. My average pace was 9:43. That's a pretty good average for me on the trails.

I ran my first race since my 2nd baby and I was overall pretty happy with my outcome. It's been awhile since I ran under 7 minute pace so my legs had a hard time getting going. My watch measured 3.24 at the end so I figured out online with my average pace of 6:47, I ran about 21:04 for 3.1. That's a good start for me. Hopefully I can continue to improve. I was the 4th female overall and first in my age group. The first two runners were really fast I wasn't expecting to compete or be up with them at all. But during the race I went back and forth with the 3rd place girl. I passed her about 1 mile into the race and thought she was way behind me, and then I let myself relax a little too much and she passed me with a mile to go and I couldn't catch her again. But i'm happy with my time. I ended up getting 8 miles in for the day too.

I did a workout today 6x400s. I did them on the road up in Shadow Valley and I wasn't sure on my pace, so my odd intervals were going on a downhill and my even intervals were at an uphill. But I was pretty happy with the effort anyway. I'm still trying to figure out my garmin but I found a program to use on my watch, it beeped every time I ran a quarter of a mile but it didn't tell me my pace. I didn't see how fast I ran until after I was done.

I ran on the Bonneville shoreline trail. Riley picked me up at Rainbow gardens. I didn't get my run started until after 11 so it was hot. I ran pretty well until the last 1.5 miles I started feeling drained from the heat. AP 8:32

I did a loop around South Weber and through Uintah for my longest run so far this year. I had to run a short distance on 89 and I was running into some pretty strong gusts for 1.5 miles. But I felt good my AP was 8:03 and some of my miles were under 8 minute pace. Really happy with my first 10 miler.

I did 3X1000 tonight. This was my first time doing 1000s in years, I didn't really know what pace to do or how many I should do. I went over to Beus pond with Riley, he watched our girls while I did my workout.. I did a 2 mile warm up and 1.6 mile cool down. I jogged between each thousand back to the start. I did them at 6:34 pace.

I felt pretty good, maybe next time i'll do more of them. But this was a good start.
