4th of July neighborhood 5K - Warm-up jog from elem school - Overall my time for the 5k was 23:03, but I think this may have been about .1 miles too long.  this was really hard - I'd almost rather run a 1/2 marathon - my ave pace was about 7:05 - maybe I needed to warm-up more.  Maybe I'll improve my speed w/ the track workouts.

11 mile run solo in Bountiful - I couldn't get anyone else at the reunion to commit to a run, so I went alone - I was in a rush to get out the door and I never found any headphones or ipod - so this was a solo & quiet run.  Nice for a while then got a little boring.  my ave pace was 8:45 which is ok considering the steep Bountiful hill for the last 1.2 miles.

I really enjoyed this race - the weather was nice - just a little drizzle.  the rain didn't really start until after we were at the finish.  The scenery was beautiful.  I felt great on this run- I was very careful not to take this out too fast.  My 2 slowest miles were 1&2.  I think this helped me to get warmed up and adjusted to the higher altitude.  Miles 3-5 were really steep downhill.  People were flying past me.  Somehow I need to figure out how to run faster downhill and not put the breaks on so much.  On some of the few uphill climbs I was able to pass some and also the last few miles I passed a bunch of people.  I felt great the last mile and really kicked it in.  This was one of my fastest miles.  This was super fun especially since a bunch of my friends were there from St. George & my sister and her husband, and my husband also ran this as his first 1/2.  they all did great.

1 mile warm-up, then 8x800 w/ 400 recovery

each were between 3:28-3:45 (the slower ones towards the end due to the out-n-back w/ the incline and fatigue)

Ran from Dad's cabin in St. Charles, ID down to the family reunion on the south side of Bear Lake.  This was pretty slow (8:45) pace and I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Bear Lake - it was fun to do a point-to-point run w/ my family waiting at the end for me w/ a yummy breakfast.  My lungs were a little tight throughout the day yesterday.  I think the 6000+ elevation got to me a little.
