Treadmill workout.

10min warmup (9:15-10 min pace)

3 x 10 min tempo (7:40 progression to 6:40) w 5 min recovery (9:30-10 pace)

8 min cool down 

tough workout, but hopefully will help me to get some speed back. The shoes felt great. I wore a skirt to get used to it for the marathon and I was comfortable.

Loop from tonaquint then up around Ivins. Ave pace 9:08.  Weather was really nice and I love the pretty views on this run. I had a running skirt, tank and light jacket, took the jacket off for some of the middle miles.  I felt pretty good until about mile 16, then my stomach started really hurting. I kept going and had an 11 minute mile for #18 because I kept stopping to walk.i felt better for the last 3 after stopping at the gas station. I think maybe I ate too much pizza last night or maybe it was the zip fizz or gels. I ate a banana before the run, 5 little honey stinger gels around 6-7 miles & sipped in a very diluted  zip fizz. At mile 12, 1/2  a honey stinger waffle & a few sips of diet coke.  Mile 15- 2 more gels- maybe too much eating on the run, I don't know?  Although I had a stomach ache, my energy was great .
