Ran outside today. Did 2 sets of 5,3,1 hard with 1 minute jog in between each...Paces for first one were 5:00 at 5:47 pace, 3:00 at 5:40, 1:00 at 4:57, the next set was 5:00 at 5:57, 3:00 at 6:12, 1:00 at 5:34... First set of these was pretty downhill/aided. I still am trying to get rid of this cold-(it keeps lingering) so I was happy with the effort today.. Hopefully I can get this body back into the swing of things..

5 miles today... The elementary school was having their 2 mile run and I paced my friend's 4th grader this morning. He ran 14:24 for 2 miles (some uphill) and finished 5th overall..I was proud of him-7:12 pace is pretty good for a 4th grader.. This little race was so fun to watch and it made me excited to run with my kids in the future..Did 3 more on the treadmill when I came home...

Got up this morning and did 3x2 miles with .5 jog in between. First two were downhill 6:05 and 6:00.  Next two were at the track..My watch got a little messed up-but I think they were 6:12,6:18..Last two were back home-uphill at 7:00, 6:49..(definitely alot slower-but also uphill) I was hoping for my track miles to be a bit faster-but overall I am happy with the workout..

Did a long run of 18 outside today...Ran 12 at 7:15 avg pace, then tried picking it up some for the last 6 miles...Splits for last 6 were 6:30,6:55,6:24,6:48,7:29,7:32 (last 2 uphill) 6:55 avg for pickup miles...7:08 avg pace over the whole run..(Did have one gu/potty stop 10 miles in).. Overall felt really great today...The last 2 miles were really hard, although they were uphill...At this point my legs were starting to feel pretty tired-but lungs felt great.

Did a track workout today...(It's been a long time since I have done a real track workout and I was a little scared) 1.5 mile warm up then 2 sets of 1 mile, 800, 400, with 400 jog in between each and 800 jog in between sets...Splits were 5:54, 2:47, 1:16...Second set was 5:51, 2:46, 1:13.. Felt pretty tired today-(like I was working really hard to hit the times) but I am happy with my splits.. (I guess I should feel tired since this was my first real track session in a long time) UVM is only a month away from tomorrow!!

1 mile warm up. Then did a 7 mile tempo..(First mile downhill and the rest at the track)
Splits were 6:10, 6:34, 6:38, 6:43, 6:46, 6:43, 6:28..(6:34 avg pace overall) Felt tired today..Wanted to keep my pace under 6:30-but that didn't happen.. I was a little upset as my splits kept getting slower-but I couldn't make my legs go faster.. It was a good effort-but I was hoping for a little better.. (Before St George I was running 6:20 pace for 7 mile tempos-obviously I am not in as good as shape as then, but I am bummed I wasn't a little faster today) Oh well-I guess I will kick it in high gear the next 2-3 weeks and then taper...

19.000.000.000.0019.00

Long run of 19 today.. This run wasn't the greatest for me...I battled a bad side ache for the first 3-4 miles and then it came back around mile 14.. (What? I never get side aches?!) I ran 15 outside with one water stop at mile 11.. Then 4 more on the treadmill.. Pace for the first 15 was 7:23, pace for 4 on the mill was 7:25-30. I lost 6 lbs of water weight on this run so I think I was dehydrated... This was definitely one of the hardest runs for me mentally and physically-I wanted to call it a day at mile 11 when I had my water stop-but I knew that mentally I needed to finish at least 19 so even as bad as it hurt I am glad I persevered and finished:) (Funny how I felt amazing last week on my 18 miler and not so great today!!-Gotta love the ups and downs of running)

Did a track workout today... I wasn't sure how fresh my legs would be from my 19 miler on Saturday-but they actually felt better than I would have thought.. Did 3x1 miles and 1x800 with 400 jog (3:00) in between. Splits were 5:49,5:50,5:49 and my 800 was 2:45.. Pretty happy with today's splits-. Went to the Dr after to get more blood work done to test my thyroid levels and found out I have fluid in my middle ears that hasn't drained from my cold that I have had for 4 weeks now...That explains why I feel like I can't hear very well and my ears won't pop.. He put me on Zyrtec D-to try and dry me up-and if that doesn't work he has a stronger perscription he wrote for me..Hopefully it does the job!!! I just want to be completely back to normal and healthy! (I have never in my life had a cold last as long as this one! lol!)

Got up and did a long fartlek of 2x2.5 miles with .5 jog in between followed by 1x2 mile and 1x400. Splits on first 2.5 were 6:39 (uphill and major headwind) 6:07, and 2:59. (6:18 avg pace) 2nd one was 5:59, 6:14, 2:50. (6:01 avg pace-this set was mostly downhill) and 2 mile was 5:52, 6:24. (6:08 avg pace) Final 400 was 1:21...Felt great today for once!!! (It's been a while) Yeay! I think fartleks are my favorite type of run..

Got up extremely early this morning to do my long run of 20 miles before hubby left for work...Avg pace for the whole run was 7:15...(2 short stops for water) Tried to keep it relaxed today...Felt really great until the last 1.5 miles which was uphill and my legs were definitely feeling the burn..Other than that I felt really strong...Yeay! (50 miles for the week as of Today-woohoo-this is one of my highest) I'm happy with my workouts this week and how good I have felt..

Hubby had today off so I slept in a little and it was already a little hot-63 and breezy) Anyway I hate to admit it- but today I felt terrible starting with the warm up..Not sure what is going on?!-I had a great positive week last week and two days of rest-so I should have felt good today...Anyway-plan was to do 2 miles (downhill) at marathon pace..Splits were 6:11,6:17-(definitely faster than marathon pace-but it was downhill too) Ran my two miles downhill to the track-then did 1x1600..Split was 5:47..Felt
Really hard...Then I did 10x200s with a float 200 in between. Goal was to keep the fast ones at 40 (5:20 pace) and the slow ones at 55 (7:20 pace). Ran 5 and kept the fast ones at 40-41, and the float at 54-56. Felt absolutely pooped after 5-so I took a little break to mentally and physically regroup. Then I did 5 more at the same paces. Ran/walked home-I felt so physically/mentally drained  for some reason today..Frustrating..I think I need to focus on getting more sleep-since that has been lacking lately...(**I did like the 200s for something different-hopefully next time I do them I will feel better:) Oh well-looks like it will be a beautiful hot day so now I am going to put this one out of my mind and go have some fun with the fam...

Got up and did a tough 15 miler this morning..Plan was to do 8 easy followed by 7 at marathon pace. First 8-avg pace of 7:20...(Took one short gu/gatorade stop at mile 7) Last 7 splits were (first 2 downhill-last 5 at track) 6:14, 6:17, 6:31,6:28,6:29,6:26,6:11...(6:23 avg) I felt good today! (Maybe it was my new kinvara shoes:)-I feel like this training cycle has been a rollercoaster of feeling good one day and not so good the next...Hopefully I am peaking at the right time for UVM. My goal is to run a sub 2:55... (6:40 pace) (Can't believe its 2 weeks from Saturday!) Happy running!!

Got up and ran the Riverfest 10k today...This race is 3/4th dirt road and has a decent hill so it is not a very fast course. Melissa (a gal I used to help coach with) is my competition in town- and she wasn't there today-(she ran it last year and it was a race to the finish). My goal was to get a good tempo in today.. Splits were 6:17, 6:31, 6:50, 7:09 (hill) 6:19, 6:36, last .32 miles was 6:05 pace... I showed the course as .12 too long...If this is correct-my avg pace was 6:36...Finished 1st girl, second overall....(First guy beat me by 2-3 minutes) I wanted a little faster time-but oh well-this course isn't very fast..I ran alone pretty much the whole time... Did pass 2-3 guys after the first mile-but other than that I was running solo...Felt pretty comfortable today-(it is kind of freaking me out thinking about running 26.2 miles around that pace though!).. Sat around after and chatted with friends...Waited for the awards ceremony that seemed to take forever and they called the overall winners very last! Why don't they announce overall first?? Went up to get my award and they said they would mail it to me..lol! Oh well...(It wouldn't be such a big deal-but my husband had to get to work...)

Hope everyone has a great weekend...Happy Memorial Day!!

I thought I already updated this day!-I must be losing it...Anyway, got up and did tack intervals... 3x1200 and 4x200 with 400 jog (3 min) in between 1200s and 200 jog in between the 200s...Splits for the 1200s were 4:15,4:18,4:12....200 splits were 35,35,35,32...Felt pretty good today...(It's been a while since I have sprinted that fast-I love that they are only 200s)

Got up this morning and did 2x4 miles with .5 jog in between...picked a different course than I usually do.. 1st set splits were 6:22,5:55,6:15,6:25 (did an extra .25 at 1:30) (*6:14 ap) (first 2 downhill, last two mostly flat) 2nd set splits were 6:27,6:22,6:22,6:04 (6:19 ap) (first mile flat/very slightuphill, last 3 at track) Felt relaxed and stong on this workout...Really tried concentrating on my cadence/stride and focused on getting in the zone... Felt really great today and I am getting excited/nervous for UVM..My Goal is to run sub 2:55...
