Today I was in durango, CO with all of Perry's family for Labor Day. Ran 4 ez miles-but they weren't that easy...I ran on a rocky path straight up the mountain... Climbed 1300 feet in 2 miles-then ran back down...(It was tough even going down-bc I couldn't go too fast due to the steep rocky terrain) It was fun and soo pretty!!

4 ez miles on the mill. (I feel like I tweaked something in my hip-hurts a little to walk-but the pain doesn't really increase when I run-feel like I still need to take it somewhat ez this week so it doesn't turn into a major injury)BUmmer

Took the past 2 days off of running to see if my hip will get better-and it does feel better-but not completely. I attempted a little bit of speed today-Ran a good warm up-it hurt at the beginning of the warm up-but slowly seemed to feel better. (Didn't even notice it during speed-but felt it again afterwards...) Anyway, did 3x5 minutes with 2:30 jog in between... I ran these at the park on a 200 meter loop (somewhat of a hill on the loop with some sharp turns) Anyway, pace for the first 5 minutes was 6:15, (rest pace 7:53) 2nd was 6:35 pace-(way too slow) (8:20 rest pace) and last was 6:15 pace... I wanted to do 4-but was extremely hot and overheated-(It was already 83 degrees) and the kids were done playing...(I need to start workouts like this earlier)

Ran 10 total... 4.3 outside at 7:40 pace, then 5.7 on tm at 7:40 pace. This run felt long, and I was tired... I am feeling out of shape as far as endurance goes...(and everything else for that matter:() I realized today I have been taking running far too easy the past couple months and now I am paying for it... (Hip pain was slightly noticeable-but didn't get any worse during my run)

Ran in Vegas at the workout facility in the Venetian.. Warmed up, then did a 4.5 mile progressive/tempo run... Splits were 6:55,6:45,6:40,6:25 and 6:00 for the last .5.. (overall avg pace 6:37) Felt good... This treadmill felt easier to run on than mine at home... (maybe mine is just getting old-who knows?)

Did a long run in St George today... For the first time in a long time I felt really good today and I remembered why I love running so much... Ran on the rivertrail-It was so pretty and I loved it!! Running here made me a little sad I'm not doing ST george marathon like last year.. Anyway, I felt like I was able to get a decent pace going and I felt great... Avg pace for entire run 7:17... (A couple short stops) I think the lower elevation and no hills made a difference on how good I felt.. (3000 ft vs my usual 5700) Maybe I should just move to St George..lol

Ran at the 200 meter loop at the park today.... Did a 1.25 warm up then did 800,1600,800,1600.. (2 minute jog after the 800s and 3 minute jog after the 1600-goal was to keep my recovery jogs somewhat fast) Splits were 2:57 (2 min jog at 8:05 pace) 6:19 (3 min at 7:45 pace) 2:57 (2 min at 8:05 pace) last 1600 was 6:09... I felt good today and was happy with this workout. (avg pace for this workout-not including warm up was 6:32) *I feel like it is a tougher workout for me to have less recovery time done at faster speeds..

Did somewhat of a 6 mile tempo run outside today... Did my usual 6.5 mile loop. (this one has some good hills, and it has been a long time since I have ran it) Anyway avg pace was 6:55.. I had some great splits on the downhills, but I realize I haven't been running outside very much lately and my uphill efforts are suffering... (It's crazy how differerent running on the treadmill is vs running outside...)

Ran with a friend today... Did 10 on the 1/2 marathon course I am doing in two and a half weeks. Holy cow- this is going to be one hard course... 6.5 of the miles are in the desert/dirt with crazy hills...  (what did I get myself into?) Anyway-I figure I am doing this one for fun-it will be more for the challenge of doing it than for a good time-haha... Avg pace was 8:45-lol...

Did a fartlek outside today... (ran on my normal 6.5 loop) Did 7x4 minutes hard with 2 minutes ez in between. (Below are my paces with the rest pace in parenthesis)

6:38 (8:37), 6:16 (7:03) 6:01 (7:12) 6:19 (8:18) 6:28 (8:43) 7:01 (8:57) 6:40 (8:30)

I was excited about this workout because overall with my rest paces included I was at a 6:51 pace for 6 miles...  (slightly faster than I ran this loop as a tempo run a couple days ago) (I'm know I am not in great shape right now-but its a start)

Attempted to run the half marathon course today by myself... It didn't turn out so well as I got lost.. Half the race is in the dirt- and I kept making wrong turns and getting lost... So I kind of made my own course up-running out in the hills and dirt... Ran about half in the dirt and half on pavement... Avg pace was 7:55 for 14... Not the best pace-but I was happy considering the terrain... (It was actually kind of peaceful running in the desert-my pace was super slow-but I felt relaxed) I normally don't run out there by myself... I get scared of running into a bobcat or a scary guy-but I had my mace today... Watch out!

Ran on the hotel treadmill in Santa Fe today... (husband had meetings) I was short on time so I decided to do a 4 mile progressive/tempo run... Did 1 mile warm up then splits were 6:40,6:25,6:15 and 6:00.. (avg 6:20 pace) The first mile felt the worst-but after that my body felt pretty good picking it up every mile. I decided it feels easier running faster on treadmills other than my own..(I have no idea why?) Anyway I was happy with this workout..
