Tempo Run with the St George Running Club.  This week has been kind of crazy since I was in SLC and didn't have anyone to watch the kids Mon or Tuesday morning, then Wed I was just too tired to wake up and run.  So, I haven't run since Saturday.  Today's run was very challenging, but I enjoyed it. We did a slow 1.5 mile warm-up, then the tempo was 5 miles, then I just did 1 mile cooldown since I had to get back to help Paul with an event he was putting on.  It was pretty hot this morning even at 5:30 - about 76 degrees, but i think it cooled to about 73 by the time we were done.  My splits for the 5 mile tempo were: 7:28, 7:54, 7:40, 7:46, 7,43(with a hill).  I felt like I did ok considering I haven't tried running a tempo run like this for a long time.  Hopefully it will get easier for me to hold these paces.

I met a bunch of friends to do the loop around Sugar Leo and the Bloomington River Trail.  This wasn't as relaxed as "Fun Fridays" normally are.  This was a little challenging to push the pace after yesterday's workout.  My legs were pretty tired from that tempo run, but I was able to hang with the slower group and even chat with them while running.  Ave pace: 8:10 for the 5.25 miles.

About an hour after I got back, I took all the kids over to the Deseret Hills Track and a few neighbors came and some other friends.  I ran a lap with Alex and Austin, pushing the jogging stroller. (I am totally counting that .25 in my mileage-haha). The kids ran a couple laps to warm up, then we did a few 100m races, then we went up the the upper soccer field and played a few games like freeze tag, red rover, red light/green light.  Our idea here is to get the kids out moving around and just have fun.  I think they enjoyed it and we will try to do this once a week this summer in addition to swimming for exercise for the kids.

Nice run, relaxing pace. Beautiful morning and not too hot yet here in SG. Ave pace 8:52 my legs were tired from the past 2 days, but I think this run help loosen them up a little.
