6 miles with a few intervals. Out n back through Bloomington hills, 14 min warm-up, then 5x 3 mins a little faster, w 2 min recovery. This was supposed to be at 5k pace, but I could never seem to go much faster than 7:30-7:45.  Maybe it was the hills, or just tired legs from Saturday's run. Overall my ave pace was under 9.  when I got back, I struggled through ab ripperX.

I was planning on running Snow Canyon this morning, but Annalise was sick and up in the night about every hour, then she finally slept from about 4-7. So when my alarm went off at 4:30, I was way too tired! I ended up on the treadmill during Annalise's nap. 8 miles is my new treadmill record! This was really boring today, but it was cute watching Alex make a train track and play with his pirates while I ran.  I averaged about 9:10, I did the first half at 9:30, then got faster until the last mile was at 8:12. Maybe I'll make it to the canyon next week.

Annalise was up again in the night and really needed her mommy at 5:30, when I was planning on meeting up with my friends for the Friday loop. Instead, I stayed in bed and cuddled her- so nice!  After getting the kids off to school, I had about 30 mins to run outside before Paul left. Nice to be outside! Started out pretty slow and easy and sped up gradually. Felt good. First mile was 9:00, 8:00 by the end.

This mornings run I went with a couple of neighbors.  I did a mile loop around the neighborhood before we started, then Amy, Karen, and I headed down to Bloomington around the loop. Amy took the shorter way. Karen and I ran into Debbie, Bruce and Becky, so we ran with them for a little bit then we went up Tonaquint, we caught up to Amy as we came under the freeway.  Those miles felt good and easy, about the next 4 miles as we came back through Bloomington Hills were painfully slow with lots of walking breaks, but I wanted to stick together, so I just took advantage of the restful pace. Karen and I sped up a little for her last mile, and then I did one more on my own a little faster. My energy was great but I did feel some hunger pains. I brought 3 honey stinger chews- that didn't get rid of them. Overall I enjoyed this big loop/ tour of S. St. George! Ave pace 9:50
