Here we go..

9 early morning miles with sariah. AP 8:03

Run in the evening through South Weber. Running Snow Canyon this weekend. I'm looking forward to that race. 

Quick workout this evening to get my legs moving for Snow Canyon half. 2 mile warm up then 4x400 in my neighborhood. 2.5 mile cool down and then some running with my kids. Splits: 85, 82, 79, 82.

Run through South Weber. Leaving for St. George today

3 easy miles in St. George. Excited to run beautiful Snow Canyon tomorrow.

Finally Snow Canyon came. This is one of my favorite races, mostly because of scenery. My original goal for this race was to run faster then I did at this race 2 years ago. But about a few weeks ago, I was looking at my workouts from 2 years ago and saw that I wasn't as fast now. So, I decided to go for a 1:30 instead. Angie stayed with me at my in laws condo and her sister was nice enough to drive us to the start. We found Merilee up there and we got some warm up in. I was feeling good, perfect weather today. I felt strong through the whole race and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. Even though my time was 30 seconds slower then 2 years ago, I feel like this race was much smarter. I pushed through miles 9 and 10, which I usually struggle with in the half marathon. I pushed hard in the end and passed one more girl right at the finish, which i never do, coming in at 6:10 pace for the last .10. Splits were: 6:34, 6:52, 6:41, 6:22, 6:12, 6:18, 6:21, 6:42, 6:31, 6:29, 6:54, 7:01. The last two miles were the toughest and had a few rolling hills. AP 6:35 overall. 2 years ago miles 10-13 were all 7:16. Much better finish this time around. Good starting point for me. I typed this up on phone, hopefully this makes some sense.

Soooooooooore legs today. I'm glad I went out and ran today.

I attempted to run at the gym today, but only made it 1.7 miles on the treadmill. My baby wouldn't let me put her down. 

Another 5.3 miles when Riley got home. 

Ran around South Weber, my usual route. AP 8:47. Legs feeling less sore everyday.

Run in South Weeb

I ran to Cherry Berry from my house via the toll road. Riley picked me up. I was glad for the change of scenery today. AP 8:30

We had a big group this morning for our run. I dropped off a car with Alyssa at Peak Performance. We ran down from Mcdonalds in South Ogden to the Unitah trailhead and onto the Ogden Parkway. I ended up running my fastest long run so far this year. Janae, Cynthia, and Alyssa planned a long tempo run, I knew I couldn't keep up with them. Angie and Sariah were nice enough to run back with me. It still felt like a tempo run to me. I fell a few steps behind them for the last couple miles. I was happy with the effort though, I did 10 miles under 7:30 pace. AP for the 10 miles was 7:25. AP for the whole run 7:47.

Run in the cold and wind around South Weber. Tired legs AP 8:58

A run in the cold of the evening. Sore legs today, probably from 21 day fit workout.

Goal  today: 6x1mile repeats@ 6:22, 2:30 jogging rest. 

2 mile warm up

6:22, 6:18, 6:20, I accidently hit the stop button instead of lap/split on my 4th mile I missed the first .4. My last .6 was 3:40 (6:00min/pace), 6:17, 6:16. I was definately pushing hard those last two miles. After my 5th mile I wasn't sure that I would do one more, I'm glad I did.

2 mile cool down. 

Early morning run. Quick turn around from last nights workout. Slow and sore. 

Quick run in South Weber before leaving for the night. 

Met up with Merrilee and Angie for a long run. We ran out towards pipe from McDonalds. I picked up my last two miles but couldn't get as fast as I wanted. 7:04, 7:14. AP 8:02

Run in my neighborhood. My mom is in town, so I had someone to watch my kids.

Goal today: 3-2-2 at 6:38

This was my first attempt at this type of workout. I say "attempt" because it didn't go very well, but I did try at least. The positive take away today is that I am now determined to conquer this workout. I'll try again another day. 

Angie met up with me and paced me through the 3 mile set, she was helpful. I felt so heavy today the 3 miles felt really hard. Splits were: 6:36, 6:42, 6:53 took a break and did 2 miles 7:04, 6:45. I ended there. It felt hard and forced. Not the goal I wanted for today, but I'll keep at it. 

Ran on the treadmill at the gym today for 4 miles, that's how long my baby lasted. 

Later, when Riley got home, I went back out for another 4 miles. 

First day of slick roads for the winter. It took me forever to run 8 miles. I ran a little on the trails, which was fun, I was the first one on them.

Long run on the Murdock trail in Linden, Orem. Cold this morning.

Run in the snow and on the Murdock trail. I was planning 7 but chickened out and only did 5.

Run in the cold in South Weber. Ran into Angie and Merrilee and ran with them for 10 minutes.
