I've been running for about 6 years, have completed 14 marathons and recently qualified for the Boston Marathon with a time of 3:34! This was a 23 minute PR for me! After years of running very high mileage at pretty slow paces, I decided to get serious and joined Gilbert's Gazelles training group. The BQ came 8 months later. Hoping this blog will help add some further insight and organization to my running. :) Favorite Blogs: |

10 mile Recovery Run on the trail Felt pretty speedy this morning for a recovery run, not sure why. Maybe the legs weren't as tired from the downhill point to point run as they would be from a different Austin run. Paces: 8:45, 9:04, 8:26, 8:30, 8:41, 8:37, 8:43, 8:44, 8:18, 8:51 - Avg 8:38

| Did the Lolipop loop with Gazelles this morning. 8 Mile loop with a large amount of rolling hills. This was pretty hard for me after putting on a good amount of miles at a good pace this weekend. I will be moving my Monday "quality workout" to Tuesday starting next week Paces: 8:56, 9:34, 9:36, 8:31, 8:38, 8:39, 8:36, 8:41 - Average 8:48 These paces would be very comfortable on flat or the trail, but felt very challenging on the hills. I think that means I need to run more hills! | | Add Comment |

| Recovery Run - legs felt pretty beaten up after the Lolipop loop yesterday. Ran from home and did 9 miles on the trail. Good solid recovery run. Avg. Pace of 9:13. Still feel like I am not eating enough carbs! Trying to get the glicogen toped off. Had a Picky Bar before the run (28g of C) and a scoop of CarbPro when I got home (25g of C). | | Comments(1) |

The cold front came to Texas overnight and it was cold! I decided to go to the evening group tonight to do 1000s. Of course I didn't know what time it started and got there 15 minutes late! Apparently, the group changes the start time based on daylight savings. This was a good excuse to head home. But this Russian girl has only been in the land of y'all for a year and a half and still has some cold tolerance! Figured I would do about 8 miles with 6 at pace instead. It got dark for the last two miles and the 8:09 is hesitation on the downhills... Splits: 8:54, 8:34 - MGP: 8:08, 8:05, 7:51, 7:50, 8:09 (and...it got dark), 7:55

| So I get to the parking lot of where our group meets, look down at my arm and realize I forgot my Garmin! First long run with out since I bought it, but I survived :) Someone I ran with the entire way had one and sent me the splits. My legs really did not like this run today. I've been running on the trail way to much lately and really need to change things up during the week. When we get the "Grove loop" it is hard to get excited when you have already been out there every day the previous week. Did the entire loop, with a 3 mile addition up Lake Austin Blvd. I had planned to run this a bit harder but did not feel 100% recovered from my pace run on Thursday night. 16 miles - spits: 9:53, 8:56, 8:49, 8:46, 8:28, 9:18, 8:59, 8:24, 8:46, 8:40, 8:39, 8:50, 8:44, 8:51, 8:42, 7:55 |
