Gonna run Top of Utah. I have 15 weeks.

I would like to BQ @ 3:35, but that would take a miracle, so we'll see.

Haven't done much since my Snow Canyon Half race 7 months ago http://brooke.fastrunningblog.com/blog-11-03-2012.html

That race changed the way I think about my running and racing which is this: I can do SO much more than I thought I could....so maybe I can BQ after all?

Still working full time night shifts (7pm-7am), but I switched my schedule around so I have more mornings to get my run in before Hailey wakes up AND it means Saturday mornings are free, too, for long runs.

Here we go!

today: 4.1 miles, 1500 south 10:43 min/mi

8 miles still pretty slow, but felt good about holding on to 9 min average for 5 miles, it was hard!  Definitely just starting out still.

decided at mile 5 (.5 from home) to just get my "long run" done today instead of tomorrow

legs and will to survive were dead at about mile 7

4 slow recovery miles

legs and "umph" still very dead from yesterday's 8

went to see Smooth and her husband at a group lunch before they leave on their mission to Australia!  I asked her if she'll be able to run and she said "maybe 30 mins a day, we'll see."  She plans to run St. George in 2016.
