Took the kids to the park and ran around the park today (park is about 200 meters around-so I did lots of loops) I was planning on doing an easy run today-but I was feeling so good it turned into a tempo run. Splits were 6:41, 6:38, 6:34, 6:22, 6:08. (6:29 avg pace) This was the first time since the marathon that I have felt really good running. (I'm feeling the fire again!) I think it was the fact I was running outside-not the TM and it was such a nice day;) One of the last ones:(

8 miles outside today in absolutely horribly weather. windy, snow/rain. Did 8 in 6:53 pace. The effort was harder than the pace shows.

Did a speed workout today. (first one since before the marathon over 5 weeks ago) Ran down to the track for warmup (about 2 miles) Then did 5x800s with a 400 jog at (2:10-2:20) in between. Splits were 2:56, 2:54, 2:54, 2:53, 2:52. I'm not going to lie-it was tough today and I am tired. The effort was hard and I know I have lost some speed-by the 5th one I was feeling the lactic acid and was completely wiped out. Anyway-I was happy with the workout but dissapointed with how crappy I felt.

Took the kids to the park and did 2x2 mile intervals around it. (about a 200m loop) After 1 mile warm up, my first splits were 6:21, 6:06. Did 800 ez jog, then finished up with 6:12 and 5:58. (I was really pressing to go under 6 on the last one and was glad I was able to do it. Felt good!:) I'm excited for my turkey trot 5k this Saturday.

Did a fartlek/tempo type run today. Ran outside. Did 1 mile warm up, then did 9x800s with .25 fast jog in between. My  goal was to keep the rest around an 8 minute pace or so. Splits were (rest time in parentheses) 3:08 (2:00 rest) 3:07 (1:53), 2:56 (1:49), 2:51 (1:51), 3:05 (2:03), 3:05 (1:54), 3:17 (2:18), 3:06, (1:55), 3:07 then cool down. (alot of downhill and uphill on this loop) Overall pace including rest time was 6:43 for 6.5 miles. Felt good and I loved this workout.

Ran on the mill today. Did 3 miles warm up then 6x400s at 10.0 mph with .25 jog in between. (kept my jog to an 8:00 pace mile) . Why is it when I try to run over 10.0 I feel unstable? Does this happen to anyone else?

Got up and ran Farmington's first annual turkey trot. I wasn't expecting very many people to show up and was pleasantly surprised when I learned 250 signed up. I was expecting to have fun with this race (It has been so long since I have done a 5k-but I also wanted to push it.) Warmed up for about a mile and a half or so and it was time to start. My first split was 5:49-(flat to slight downhill) At this point there were no other girls around and about 8 boys in front of me. My 2nd split was 6:37 (major uphill!!!-137 ft climb) Here I passed a couple boys-I don't think they were very happy to have me pass. On the last mile I was battling with a guy-I would cruise past him on the downhill and he would catch up to me on the up. Split was 6:03-(rolling hills) He ended up sprinting past me right as we crossed the finish line. (I didn't even know he was coming) I ended up 5th (I think) over everyone. My garmin shows the course being .09 too short so in theory I would add 33 seconds on for the last .09 to make my real time 19:03. I usually go by my garmin bc it is usually right on. Overall I was happy with my time-especially considering the hills. (Farmington definitely doesn't have a shortage of hills!:) I went home to shower bc it said awards weren't until 11:30-got back and they were already over!!!  (I guess they decided to do them early:()At least they still had my prize which included two giftcards-not too shabby! Looking forward to Orem's earn your turkey race on Thursday.

Did 6x600s on the treadmill today with 2 minute easy jog in between. Did my 600s at 9.0 mph on an incline of 5.0. I'm not going to lie-I was tired on this one. Couldn't wait for it to end. (I thought this would be a moderate workout-but it felt hard today-my body just felt off)oh well-..

Ran the orem turkey trot today. Got up and warmed up a couple miles with Tara and Julie C from the blog. I am good friends with Tara (we ran together in highschool and college) so it was fun to see her and it reminded me of old times . Anyway, I was excited to run and see how fast i could do it, considering it was a flat course. First split was 5:59. It felt pretty relaxed, but i was in 4th place with the first two girls way ahead and one girl (which i found out after the race was Melody-from the blog) just ahead of me. Second split was 6:04. Still feeling good, but the top two girls are even farther ahead and Melody is still just barely ahead. Third mile was 6:17, (hardest mile by far). I was trying to catch Melody, but she just slowly kept getting further and further aahead of me. (She is super speedy!) 4th mile was 5:43. Felt strong coming in and was happy with my time. Sheesh, it was tough competition today! Cooled down with Devra, Tara and Melody- met her for the first time and it was nice to put a face with the name! (such a nice girl!, Devra too) Good job to all who ran!

Got up and ran 5 miles outside before traveling home. My garmin died about half way through my run- but I suspect my average was around 7 minute pace.

Did 7x800s today on the mill. Warmed up 2.5, then did 7x800s at 6:15 pace, with 400 jog at 8:00 pace in between. (avg pace for intervals and rest was around 6:40ish) This workout felt harder than it should have been. Was glad to get 8 in for the day though!:)
