EXTREME MAKEOVER 2012

Met up with Dan M and ran from Rock Canyon to the base of Y mountain and then up to the top of the Y  and back to Rock Canyon.  I felt better last week when I ran to the Y, I think that it had to do with the chili dogs and fries, oh and the frozen yogurt for lunch.  It was very rainy and when we hit the top of the Y it was very cloudy and rainy.  Great run, Dan is always good to run with.

Ran from the house and over to Kellie's work, never really got into this run?  I don't know if it is because it was in the afternoon or that I was carrying 20oz of water.  I did average a good pace and even tried to slow down but felt very comfortable at a 7:17 pace.  Met Kellie and then went and picked the boys up from school and the sitters.

This was a busy week and I knew that I wouldn't get a lot of running in so I left work early and came home and went running around 2:00.  Left the house and decided that I would get a hard work out in, since I wasn't going to run on Saturday with kellie being gone.  I decided that I would do a 2 mile warm up and then run a 10 mile tempo?  I wanted to start at or around 7:15 pace and then drop with every mile.  It felt really easy to run at the lower pace today, I really had to make sure that I didn't drop to fast and not negative split the tempo run.  Average pace for the 10 mile tempo was 6:45, at mile 8 I decided that I would try and stay below a 6:00 pace, ave pace for that mile 5:49 :)  I hate running on power house road so I decided that I would try and get off of it as fast as I could.  Finished tempo run strong and then coasted in for a quick shower and then off to get the boys from school and the sitters.

I have not been running a lot of miles, but I feel like my work outs have been really good!
