5 ez miles on the strip in Vegas with my sister in law. (stayed at Ceasars and they wanted to charge 25 bucks a day to use the gym. Holy rip off...) Anyhoo I enjoyed some easy miles at  8:30 pace.

Ran on the strip again...This time by myself. I attempted somewhat of a tempo run-but it was hard due to all the stairs I had to climb and people I had to swerve around. I got 7 in with an average pace of 6:50.

We got home from Vegas last night and I have taken it pretty easy the last week due to being in Vegas and my cold so I decided today to do a fast fartlek. Did 8x800s with 400 jog in between. (Goal was to keep my recovery jog somewhat fast) Splits were 2:56 (1:52 rest) 3:01 (1:43 rest) 2:49 (1:44 rest) 2:48 (1:41 rest) 3:01 (1:45 rest) 3:05 (1:59 rest) 3:10 (2:11 rest) 3:01- then jogged home for a cool down. Did this workout about a month ago and compared splits and I was faster today so I'm feeling good about that...

Did my 6.5 mile loop twice today for a total of 13.1 miles in 1:31:30 or 6:59 average pace. (Was running about 7:10 pace for the first loop-then picked it up during the second one) (Woohoo-reached 40 miles this week)

Got up this morning and did intervals at the track. Warmed up 1 mile-legs still sore from Saturday. I did 1200,800,400,1200,800,400 with 400 jog (around 2:30-2:45 rest in between) Splits were 4:26, 2:49, 1:19 second set was slightly faster at 4:21, 2:48 and 1:16. (I was pretty happy with these times but it was tougher on my body to hit these times than I would have liked) My plan is to start working speed more into my workouts from now until the half.

Got up this morning and did a 9.5 mile run with the first 5 ez and the last 4.5 at tempo pace. Splits for first 5 were around 7:45 ap. The last 4.5 splits were 6:18 (downhill) (the last 3.5 were at the track) 6:32, 6:23, 6:18, 2:59 for last 800. AP overall for the last 4.5 was 6:20. Now I will take the next two days pretty easy so I can race well in the 5k on Saturday...

Ran the heart healthy Goosebumps 5k again this year...Love the fact that it is free and gives me a chance to see where I am at as far as speed goes....(This course is a loop starting and finishing at the same place with pretty minimal hills-mostly flat) -After a mile warm up I got up to the line...I was happy to see they had a better turn out than last year with a couple hundred there...The gun went off and we were off...First split 5:55. Felt like a tough pace-but I wasn't dying. There were 2 guys about 10 seconds ahead of me at this point. 2nd mile is just slightly uphill-this split was 6:15. Crap-this is a little slow I thought. At this point I passed one of the boys and there was just one ahead of me. With about .75 to go a different boy entered the equasion and now there were 2 ahead of me again...I started picking it up a little trying to real them in...I passed the second boy and looked ahead at the first boy who was about 10 seconds in front of me. With about .4 left in the race I caught up to him and we were side by side...We stayed this way until the last two seconds of the race when I sprinted to edge him out....Last mile split was 5:53 with the .1 at 34 seconds. (I love the fact that this course was right at 3.1 miles-not short like last year) (6:02 avg pace overall) I was happy with this race..Looked at the results from last year and my pace was 11-12 seconds faster per mile this year so I am happy about that:) Won a gift certificate..yeay:)

Got up and ran 5x1000s at the track today with 200 m (2 min jog in between) It was really cold and windy...Splits were 3:36, 3:31, 3:34, 3:35, 3:33. Felt absolutely terrible today-starting from the first one...I literally had to talk myself into doing each one and the lactic acid started kicking in after the first 200-400 meters..The last one was especially painful. I usually think of speed as my forte and look forward to doing it-but lately I have been dreading it and my body has been just plain exhausted when it comes to speed...(My times aren't bad-but I have felt extra fatigued-not strong like usual) Not sure whats going on-Maybe it was the wind and not being fully recovered from the 5k on Saturday..I have no idea?? Frustrating because I want to feel good and the past few weeks I've felt more tired than usual.

Got up early to do a 6.5 mile tempo at the track. Glad I got this one done early to beat the wind that is now blowing my house down. Anyhoo-conditions were perfect and after taking yesterday off I felt so much better than Monday. (I think my body needed more time to recover from Saturday's 5k) Anyway- splits were 6:26, 6:21,6:21,6:18,6:20,6:16 and 2:55 for the last 800. Average pace overall was 6:18. I felt like I was pushing-but still felt relaxed. So glad my body felt good today. Another week and a half of hard workouts then I can start tapering.

14 miles outside..I left my watch home bc I didn't want to run these miles "too fast" just wanted to run them comfortable and not worry about pace. Next Saturday will be a "fast" finish long run. Felt tired today....

Got up this morning and did 3x1.5 mile intervals with .25 in between. I did them on my usual 6.5 mile course.  (I have taken the past 3 days off just because my body has felt "off" and so tired lately. After my 14 mile run on Saturday I was so tired and sore and I feel that lately it is taking me longer to recover between hard workouts. Not sure if I am burnt out or what is going on. I just bought some iron supplements (because I have been low on iron before) I know my training times are good-but my body feels weak and tired. Anyway I know that this should be my "push" week in training but I feel I have to listen to my body and give it a small break in order to come back hopefully stronger. I am looking to take the next couple days pretty ez and have a strong solid hard run on Saturday. Anyway-enough ranting-sorry...        -Goal was to run these intervals fast but keep my recovery short and pretty fast pace also. My splits were 9:19 (6:12 pace) recovery was 1:43 for .25. 2nd split was 8:45 (5:50 pace) (1:57 recovery) 3rd split 9:38 (6:25 pace). (First one was slight net uphill, 2nd was MAJOR downhill, 3rd was net uphill finishing on a steep uphill) Overall pace for fast and slow sections for all 5 miles was 6:17.  I did this workout about a month ago and my interval sections were 4-5 seconds per mile faster so I am happy about that:) I am happy with my times and I did feel better today-so hopefully the days off have helped....

finished with some fast strides....
