Run and Be Happy!

Easy run in park city. I did some of this on a gravel trail and ended up running about a mile on slushy snowpack. Very pretty up here.  My lungs hurt a little when I was done, maybe because of the higher elevation.

Treadmill run.  I was planning on doing 4 sets of 6 mins at 5k-10k pace w 3 min recovery jog.  I felt so sick after the first interval, I wanted to throw up or pass out.  I stopped and walked a little and then only did 2 more intervals and reduced the time to 4 mins for the last 2.  I walked a little, then jogged to cool down.  I still felt really awful for about 45 mins after this.  Maybe I didn't eat enough yesterday or maybe it is the high altitude, I just hope I am not getting sick!

I finally made it out for another run. This week has been super fun, but very busy. We are on spring break and skied 5 of the last 8 days. I didn't actually ski very much since I was mostly on baby duty, but I was super busy getting 5 of the kids in and out of ski gear multiple times and taking the baby and little kids to hang out in the lodge. Anyway, we've had a great time and the kids are skiing great!

On the way back from Brighton, I got dropped off at my brother's home in cottonwood heights and ran up wasatch, parleys trail, foothill, then the super steep neighborhood up to the Devonshire trail. The sun was beginning to set as I got on the trail and it was so pretty. I ran past my mom's down to the park and then back around so I could get 13 miles in.  This was a very enjoyable run with good weather and beautiful views!  Lots iof hill climbing on this run, so my pace averaged to 9:25.  I guess I will have to tackle this week's scheduled 20-miler next week.
