I ran on South Weber drive tonight and did a 4 mile tempo run. I did a 1.5 mile warm up and started into my tempo. I was thinking I would try to average 7:15 but my AP ended up being 7:02 so I was pretty happy with that. My last two miles were on a gradual uphill but it felt like my effort was the same.

I ran the Classic Race in Layton today. I wanted to improve my time from the South Weber days 5K which I did. I was happy with my time and pleasantly surprised that I took 3rd place and won 25 dollars. I tried not looking at my watch during the race and run what I feel. It was a great race and I felt strong for the first time in a long time and glad to see I'm improving. AP for the race 6:38.

I was planning on doing a tempo run today, but after the 2 mile warm up I could tell it would be difficult because my stomach was having issues. So i just ran the next 5 miles at little bit faster pace then my normal days. AP 7:36

I felt pretty good about my run today, this was the closest I felt to my old running self in a long time, since before I had Evelyn. I was planning on doing 11 but felt good and decided to do 1 more mile. I ran a loop from my Mother in laws house since she watched my kids for me. It rained on me the whole time. AP 7:58
