Run and Be Happy!

Another great run in Mexico!

1.5 miles - slow on the beach

Then 3 miles on the treadmill - ave pace 7.5 - I started at 7.0, then gradually made it up to 8.0, then came down to 7.5 for the last mile. - this felt very hard for me even at sea level, but hopefully it will help me get some speed back eventually. The workout room was really hot and stuffy!

Then the reward of another 1.5 slow beach miles- so beautiful! I will miss this place, but I'm excited to see my kids

Treadmill run- 52 mins, ave pace 9:15

Thanks to Downton Abbey, this may be a new treadmill record for me- I think I've never done much more than 4.

Bloomington loop- 50 mins

first few miles around 9 min, last 2 at 8:30

I wanted to run at least 14 today, but I found out Paul made plans to go canyoneering in Orderville and wanted to leave at 7- we compromised and he changed his plan to 8.  With the baby waking up twice last night- the earliest I could get myself up was 5:45 & I slowly got ready. I was able to do a 1.8 mile loop to Brigham road, then back around by sdessert hills before meeting Karen at 6:20.  Karen and I ran 10 miles together and went up Bloomington hills onto the trail, then got on the mayors loop- then up Brigham hill at the end. My energy was pretty good considering how tired I was last night and this morning.  I brought 5 honey stinger chews (pink lemonade)and gave 2 to Karen. Those tasted pretty good and were even ok without water. Unfortunately the water fountains are still all turned off- maybe next time I'll bring water.  I don't want to get dehydrated since I'm still nursing.  When I got back i checked on the baby and kids and they were fine, so I put Abby in charge for a few minutes and went out for 1 more mile.  ave pace about 9:40 (including a few stops) 13.1 miles- halfway there!
