Ran outside today... Did 5x1minute hard w/ 1 min ez in between. (wanted to keep my recovery pace somewhat fast) paces were 5:10, (7:24 jog pace) 5:17 (7:31) 5:17 (7:59) 5:22 (7:29) 5:33... (Avg pace including jog pace in between was 6:10 for almost 1.5 miles) I did choose somewhat of a downhill course though...
After this I jogged for a bit and then did 5x.16 meter hills... I chose a hill that was in the dirt.. It was rocky and really steep. (GPS said about a 90-100 foot climb in .16) I wanted to work the hills for my half marathon coming up... Anyway, paces for this hill were extremely slow.. They were 9:50,9:23,9:19,8:46,8:33... At least they got faster each time-but this hill really did take it out of me... It was a beast-getting steeper at the top... Very tough mentally for me-but I did it and hopefully it will help prepare me for the half.. |

| 10 miles today.. 8 outside-with 5.5 in the dirt/hills and 2.5 on pavement. Avg pace 8:23.. Finished up with 2 on the treadmill at 7:10 pace... I'm afraid this half race is going to kick my butt- its such a hard course! |

| Did a 6 mile tempo outside... Did my normal 6.5 mile loop...Ran 6 miles in 39:41 (6:36 avg pace) I was actually very happy with this workout bc I did the same workout on the same course about 2 and a half weeks ago and ran it in 6:55 avg pace, so some definite improvement... Maybe all that running in the dirt/hills is helping:) Felt really good today! Beautiful weather outside-I love fall... Now I'm going to check St George marathon results..(Kind of sad I didn't run it this year- and sad to think I am nowhere near the shape I was in when I ran it last year) |

Did a quick run today... (All I had time for and I am cutting back this week due to half on Saturday) I did 4,3,2,1 minutes hard with 2 min ez in between... Paces were 5:55 for 4 minutes, 6:13 for 3 minutes, 6:46 for 2 minutes (uphill) 5:39 for 1 minute... Felt good today.. I am expecting a baby in April-so training will be interesting until then... So far I have felt pretty good. (Running is the one thing that keeps me feeling normal) but I don't plan on pushing it much after the half this Saturday.. Yes, I will keep running as long as I can-hopefully the whole pregnancy, but I don't think I will push it... (I will just listen to how my body feels:)

I am finally writing my report!! This half was great! The course was extremely challenging. It was a loop-but we had 1,350 ft worth of climbing. Half of the course was on road and half was in the sand/dirt/sandstone/desert... (Basically an atv trail in the sand with crazy hills..) I thought I was going to hate this course-but it was actually fun to do something different.. I liked the challenge of it and I can honestly say I never got bored weaving in the sand trying to find the best route-and most packed dirt to run on... (on some occasions we were running in thick sand-like beach sand) Anyway, it wasn't easy-but fun... I knew that I would just throw a good time out the window and run by feel, and that is what I did.
My goal today was to run strong and have fun... When I got to the race there were about 300 runners-but that was counting the runners in the 5k and 10k too. (our race had 69 runners-so very low key) The race started and it was a cold 40 degrees. I knew I would warm up though. One or two guys were with me the first two miles-but then they veered off the course-(they were doing the 5k and 10k). After 1.75 miles of climbing on the asphalt-we were finally in the dirt. The first mile in the dirt was extremely downhill-so downhill at one point I had to almost slow to a walk to not fall. I looked behind and noticed a guy gaining on me.. The next mile was mostly flat and around mile 3-4 I went off on the wrong trail for about 100 yards or so and the guy caught me. Bummer!! I realized my mistake and quickly got on the right trail. This guy and me stayed together for the next mile or two... (We were playing leap frog..)It would crack me up bc he would kill it up the hills and pass me and then I would totally pass him on the down hills. (There were several hills that were steep straight up, then straight down) After about a mile or two of us running together I finally passed him and he never came back. After all the climbing in the dirt I finally made it back to black top and downhill around mile 9. Thank goodness. At this point I was still feeling very strong, and it was nice to have my family cheering me on every mile or so. I stayed relaxed and just had fun the rest of the race.. I finished with a time of 1:37:16, (7:16 avg pace) but showed the course as being 13.36 not 13.1 (partly due to my missed turn) The next guy in was about a minute behind.. Anyway, it was a challenging race-but very fun, and I was happy with my time considering the hills and terrain. I felt great the whole time and that is all I can ask for.. (I decided I may do more training runs in the sand-for the challenge of doing them and they may make me stronger) It is always fun running somewhere different too!
Splits were 7:12,7:07,7:24,7:39,9:12,7:41,7:15,7:09,6:33,7:19,7:18,6:38,6:43, last .36 at 5:57 pace...

| 5.5 outside at the park.. Wanted to do a moderate run and incorporate a little bit of speed. I did 5x800s around my 200 meter loop with 400 meter jog in between. Splits for fast bits were 6:12-6:35 pace... Splits for jogs in between were around 7:20-8:00 pace.. Felt controlled/felt good. |

| Ran 8 on the treadmill today... Did a slight progressive run today... Splits were 9,8,7:20,7:00,7:00,6:57,6:40,6:12... Felt good, even the last mile... I know my splits will continue to get slower due to pregnancy-but I don't want to lose everything-so I will try my best... My ob said he saw the results of the half marathon and he doesn't want me training/doing any races anymore.... He also said he doesn't want me running over 5 miles a day and nothing really fast/no intervals... (I don't gain very much weight with my pregnancies-(18-20lbs-even though I eat like a horse) so that is the reason he doesn't want me running alot...) He wants me to gain more weight...Anyway, I am not sure what to think about his advice.. I feel like I know my body and of course I don't plan on training for a half or full, but if I want to do a 5k or 10k I think I should be able to or if I want to cautiously throw in a little speed every now and again I think it should be fine... What do you think? |

| Ran on a treadmill at our hotel in Albuquerque... Decided to do a 3 mile tempo workout today.. After 1.5 warm up splits were 6:25,6:17,5:55... I have to admit this workout was done on a 0% incline level... I always set my treadmill to 1%, but the incline wasn't working... I was amazed at how much easier 0 feels than 1... (It really does make a huge difference) Anyway, I felt really great today and was happy I was able to pick it up on my last mile..(It felt easier than I thought this workout was going to be..) I was not happy the heater was turned on in the workout room and I was right under the vent so it was blowing hot air on me the whole time!! (Yikes! It's a workout room-it's not supposed to be hot!!!) |

| Wanted to run 5 miles outside today but forgot to charge my watch and it died after two miles-but those two splits were 7:22,6:57. I guessed what I thought to be 3 more miles and called it a day... (Drove in my car and found out it was exactly 3.05 miles... woohoo!!) Anyway, If I were to go by feel I think my last 3 miles would have been around 7:15 pace... (I'll say 7:15 avg for the whole run) |
