AM Hobbler half, Buses were backed up so did some jogging around the parking lot. Should be at least a couple miles, but will count it as one. No strides, just actively moving around for about 45 minutes waiting for the bus. Got to the top and turned in our bag and started a short jog down the road because Dennis said he was going to try to get it started by 7 am. Race was a fun way to get a work out type tempo run. Didn't want to push too hard because of the downhill beating up my already tired legs. I have been increasing mileage and wanted to be fresh enough to add on at the end and do a long run on Sunday. Stayed sub 6 minutes until seven mile mark. Relaxed a bit and watched some of the kids from the team race, I had a front row seat, they were just ahead of me most of the race. Decided to pick up the pace the last 5K which had some up and flat stretches. Passed five people during this stretch caught Taylor with about a mile and a half left and Natalie with about a mile left. Total time for last 5K 18:16. Last 1.1 miles 6:18 and was feeling good about the finish. Continued the run with an extra 5 miles to help the kids get to there mileage goals for the week. PM 4 miles Sugarhouse Park a couple grass loops and a little back to the car to make it an even 4 miles. 29:48. Hope to hold it together for a 20 in the morning with Jamal. |
