Run and Be Happy!

Easy 2 miles on treadmill to loosen my legs and warm-up, then a little bit of arm work and ab ripper X.  I am still so weak in my core and upper body, I need to work on this.

Treadmill workout, warm-up 10 mins slow, then 10 at 10k pace (7:50, progressing to 7:00), 5 mins slow, another 10 min fast, then cool down of about 12 mins.

The best part of this run was when Alex (3), just woke up and found me running downstairs. He was yelling at me, "GO, GO, GO, Faster!, GO, GO!"  He was such a cute little trainer!

I finally made it back to Snow Canyon- yay!! Luckily the baby slept pretty well and she didn't get up until it was time for me to get up and go, so I fed her before I left and headed up to the canyon.  I met a bunch of people there and was able to stay with them the whole time. It was a great workout.  I ran this a little slower than I used to, but that's ok since it was my first time running this canyon in about 18 months.  I almost forgot how much I love that run! It is so pretty over there and you can see so many stars

With spring break next week, we did our long run early. I met Lesa & Jeanette and we did a loop around Sun River, then up and around the trail system. & I made it back in time to drive the carpool.  We started out with a really nice, relaxed pace, then picked it up at the end so I could make it home in time.  My energy was good today, but my left hip is feeling a little tight ever since the canyon. I will try to make time to stretch it out really well.  Our pace averaged out to 9:05
