Husband was off today so it was nice to actually run outside. Did a fartlek run. Ran 8x800s with .25 in between. (goal was to keep the recovery somewhat fast as to have an overall fast time for the workout) Ran 1.25 warm up then did a loop. Splits were 3:10 (ran the 400 jog in 2:00) 3:05 (rest 1:46) 3:01 (1:47) 2:57 (1:46) 3:09 (1:47) 3:15 (1:52) 3:39 (1:49) 3:05-then cooled down. Not including my warmup and cooldown-my avg pace for 5.75 miles was 6:36. This was the first time in a LONG time that I have felt really good running... |

| Was able to run outside today! yeah! goal was to do 6 moderate and finish with 4 at half-full marathon pace. I did my typical 7 mile loop backwards and added my 3 mile loop in there. Avg pace for first 6 was 7:15. avg pace for last 4 was 6:22. Avg pace for the whole 10 miles was 6:54. Felt strong today and was happy with the outcome. |

Did 2x2 miles ouside today with .75 mile recovery in between. (mind you this workout was mostly downhill except for the 1st mile which was net uphill and 4th mile which was equal on elevation gain and loss) Splits were 6:27, 5:59, (.75 at 7:10 pace recovery) last two miles were 6:08 and 6:29. (6:23 avg pace for 4.75 miles) Felt pretty tired by the end of this one-especially once I was home. I think I was dehydrated and felt much better after drinking lots of water.

| Woke up with snow on the ground today, but hubby had today off so I was bound and determined to run outside. Wanted to do a fast tempo so I drove to the track. I did a 3.25 mile warm up. (It took a while for me to warm up with it being so cold) After stretching I started my tempo. Splits were 6:16, (kind of a slow start) 6:12, (thats better) 6:08 and my last .5 was 2:54. (6:10 avg pace overall) Felt pretty good today-first mile was the hardest-for some reason it always takes my body the first mile to adjust into tempo pace and then I get more comfortable. I am planning on doing this workout again in 2-3 weeks and hopefully my time will be faster. |

Long run outside today. Halfway through my run my garmin died. (I forgot to charge it beforehand) My avg pace for 7 miles with the garmin was 7:15 pace-but these miles were mostly downhill so I will avg my pace to be 7:20 overall with the uphill.

Got up early for once and ran outside. It actually didn't feel that cold for being only 21 degrees. Anyway did 1 mile warm up then 3x1.5 miles with .25 in between. Ran the first 1.5 in 9:34 (6:22 pace) (1:46 recovery). (the first one was slight net uphill) Ran the second one in 8:44 (5:50 pace) (2:04 recovery) This one was really downhill. The third one was 9:44 (6:30 pace) This one was net uphill-finishing on a very steep uphill. Cooled down. Felt great today... |

| 13 miles outside today. Total avg pace was 7:15. Wanted to run at a steady comfortable pace. (not too slow-not too fast) Felt good. The last mile or two was tougher though-probably bc this is the longest I have ran since the St George marathon. Time to start getting serious and ramping up the mileage for my half coming up |

| Got up early and ran at the track this morning. It was all of 18 degrees. Felt very "off" and tired today. I think it was a combination of a nasty cold and not being totally recovered from Saturday's long run. (body was just exhausted) Wanted to do 4x1600s with 400 jog (about 3 minutes) in between but I only ended up doing 3 due to time and feeling crappy. Splits were 6:11 (terrible start) 5:55 and 5:49. Hopefully I will feel better next hard workout. I was definitely not feeling it today.....:( |

| 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... |

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. |

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.... |

| Ugghh...I wanted to do a great workout today but I was fighting 25 mph winds and cold...yuck. (Why is it every time I want to do a hard workout the wind doesn't cooperate?) Anyway goal was to do the first 6.5 ez and finish with the last 6.5 at half marathon race pace. First 6.5 was around 7:28 pace. Took 1 gu/gatorade stop-then the splits for last 6.5 was 3:12 for 1st 800, 6:24, 6:31, 6:33, 6:44, 6:46, 6:35. (The first 2 miles downhill-complete headwind though-last 4.5 at the track) I will just have to chalk this one up to a good effort. My splits kept getting slower in spite of running the same effort and I really tried to kick it in for the last one-and only managed a 6:35. Oh well..Moab half was super windy last year so maybe this is just good practice:) I pray its not windy though!! I would rather run in rain than wind any day. |

| Got up this morning for the famous yasso 800s...I look forward to this workout and do it before every half or full to see where I am at. Today was perfect conditions-35 degrees and no wind for once in my life! yeay! .5 warm up then did 10x800s at the track with 2:40 400 jog in between. Splits were 2:55 (slow start) 2:49, 2:49, 2:48, 2:49, 2:48, 2:48, 2:49, 2:48, 2:47. (really tried to kick it in for the last one-but had no leg turnover-I was pretty tired) Anyway-I was really happy with this workout-these times were close to the times I ran in the same workout before St George marathon last fall. ( I didn't feel as strong running them as back then-but I was happy to see my times were only about a second off per 800 of where I was) so this makes me happy. Now I will start to taper off for the half. |

I have been dreading writing this race report because this race is one I don't really care to remember....I hate to be negative but this one might be a little negative. Anyway-I woke up ready/excited to race-but my attidue started changing a little when I went outside and it was already windy...Then we got up the canyon and it was even more windy.( I felt I was having dejavu from last year's race) I was bummed because I really wanted to run a 6:20 pace and beat my time from last year...I knew it would very difficult in the crazy wind. (At least I ran into my old friend/teammate Kristen Coombs and she distracted me from being negative with her bubbly positive energy)
Anyway-the race starts and my first split is 6:05 (first mile is downhill) At this point I am only in 4th place. The next two miles are 6:21, 6:34. (the wind is blowing like a madman) and I am already feeling tired from battling it..("This is way to early to be feeling this fatigued"-I thought)At mile 3 Melody from the blog passed me looking strong...I tried to stay close to her-but couldn't)
Miles 4,5,6 were 6:41, 6:37, 6:37. At this point I am just trying to stay positive, my body was not feeling good, which was making it hard on my brain. (also the fact I was only in 5th place and couldn't even see the first place girl in front of me-I knew that this was probably not going to be a repeat win for me) I did take a gu at mile 6 which seemed to help me get through the next couple miles.
Miles 7,8,9 were 6:51, 6:38, 6:31. (Note to self-gatorade doesn't feel good in the eye..As I was trying to drink my gatorade, a gust of wind blew it in my eye- and it stung...ouch!!) The dust in the air didn't seem to help my eye problem either..boohoo..Anyway, at this point I think there may have been a tailwind for all of .3 miles of the race so I made the best use of it as possible and around mile 9 passed the girl in front of me...I really wished I had a group to draft with like last year-but there was not and I found myself running alone most of the time...
Miles 10,11 were 6:48, 7:09...Let the slow miles begin...I kept trying to tell myself to "stay strong and focus" but it was so hard...The excitement of racing was totally gone and I felt like I was doing a training run-I had to keep reminding myself that I was racing and to keep pushing even though my body and mind were completely exhausted and wanted to be done..
Miles 12,13 were 7:01,6:59. (last .15 was 1:00-I showed the course as being .05 long) I did see my family at mile 12 and even they couldn't lift my mood. All of the sudden with about .5 to go I saw a girl in front of me...I had no idea she was there! I tried to reel her in-but she was still too far..She ended up beating me by 14 seconds) (Even though my last miles were so slow I must have gained on her) My final time was 1:27:54 (more than a minute and a half slower than last year's windy race)
I usually LOVE racing, but today just didn't go my way...It was hard and my body and mind weren't on cue..I know the wind took it out of me physically and mentally and there were faster girls today... I wanted to place so much higher and run so much faster but I will just chalk this one up to a race to learn from and move on....I think I need a little break so I plan on no running for at least a week, maybe longer..
On a positive note I got to cool down with Melody from the blog who placed 2nd!. I know she was no where near the time she wanted to be either and reading her blog reminds me of how I felt during the race also:) (Too bad I don't live in Utah anymore-she would be an awesome training partner- She is a strong runner and I am sure she will do awesome at Boston!)

After taking 8 days off since my half I did 5 today outside...I thought I would feel refreshed after taking a long break, but it was hard!! What is going on?? My pace was only 7:20 pace and you would've thought I was running 6:30 pace..I know for me that running and preparing for a race takes alot out of me mentally and physically...(even though I didn't have a great race-and it was only a half-I think it still wore me out mentally, emotionally, physically) ect. I will plan on easing into hard training for the Utah Valley Marathon which is mid June...I think I will also get my iron checked-bc I was low often in college and haven't been checked since...Anyhoo-hopefully I will start to feel better and I can start training hard for the marathon....I feel like my body has been felt physically "off" for about the past 2 months..I know I was still running decently fast training times-but I would come away from hard workouts feeling absolutely spent-not stong like last fall when I was training for St George..I am normally very positive and love the challenge and thrive off of pushing myself during training...It makes me happy and gives me a "high"-Right now I am definitely not feeling that way..Has anyone else ever felt this way at times? If so-what did you do? Sorry to be so negative--but this is how I feel right now..

| Did my normal 6.5 loop in 7:06 pace. Felt ALOT better than Monday-but this pace still felt harder to me than it should have...Hopefully slowly but surely I can ease back into hard training...Right now I just feel I need to take it easy for a little bit and maybe my mojo will come back.. (Though I know I can't take it ez for too long since the marathon is 11 weeks from Saturday) |

Got up and did 8 miles outside. (Was determined to go by feel today so I didn't look at my watch) Avg pace was 7:17. This pace felt somewhat comfortable-not really ez-but not too hard. Then I did 5 on the treadmill when I got home. 7:20-7:30 pace..Have been wearing my new saucony wear testers this week and they are giving me the worst blisters!! Hopefully they will go away soon! (Have been feeling better as the week has gone on) |

Got up and did a fartlek run outside today. 1.25 warm up then 2x3 miles with .5 recovery n between. Of course the wind was blowing like a mad man-reminded me of Moab all over again. Anyhoo-splits for first ones were 6:25 (uphill), 6:16 (downhill), 6:30 (flat-slight uphill) .5 rest in 4:17, then 6:08 (downhill), 6:17 (downhill), 7:01-(slight uphill and right into the blazing headwind) I went completely by feel on these miles. (Wore my watch but didn't look at it) I kind of liked the freedom of not feeling tied down to my watch all the time. I think I will "go by feel" more in this training cycle. Times weren't extremely fast today-but I was fine about it considering the crazy wind. |

| Got up this morning and did 5,4,3,2,1,1 hard with 2 minute jog in between each. (jog in between was around 8:00-8:10 pace) hard segment paces were 5:00 at 5:34 pace(this one was downhill) 4:00 at 6:10 pace-(oops-I don't know why I ran this one so slow) 3:00 at 5:54 pace, 2:00 at 5:58 pace and 1:00 at 5:18 pace, last 1:00 at 6:30 pace (uphill) Besides the first one being downhill-the rest were rolling hills. I kind of liked this workout for something different. I feel like I was lacking on speed (leg turnover) going into the Moab half-so I plan on incorporating more speed this training cycle. |

Got up and did 5x1 minute fast with 1 minute jog in between. Fast bits were anywhere between 5:02 pace-5:45 pace. Then I did 5x.20 meter hills. (about 1:35 uphill) Chose a pretty steep hill-with the peak being very steep (about an 85 ft climb in .20 meters) These were all done between 7:22-7:45 pace. (sounds slow-but it was a steep hill!)
Felt pretty good today...I am going to work on strength and speed a little bit before I get into the meat and potatoes of my workout training for this marathon.
I went to get my iron checked a couple days ago-and instead of being low on iron I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. The thyroid regulates metabolism and apparently I have an underactive thyroid. My tsh number is 7 and should be at 2-3. So the Dr prescribed 50mcg of synthroid for me...Then he is going to test my levels again in 2 months and make any adjustments. My mom and grandma both have the same thing....I am thinking that this is the reason I have been feeling so tired the past 2-3 months, since tiredness is a major symptom. I am kind of bummed bc I have never been on a medication and I may have to be on this one for the rest of my life....If this helps to bring my energy levels up though I am willing to try anything. I think if anything it can only help me right?? If anyone has any insight or knows anything about this-please share:)

Got up during the wee hours of the morning to do my long progression run of 16 before hubby left for work. (I won't be able to do it on Saturday) Anyway-It was still dark. I have never trained in the dark very much-but it was actually kind of nice-(peaceful and relaxing) and the weather was a perfect 41 degrees with no wind....(I get super hot when I run and I'm sure people thought I was a maniac running in a tank and shorts lol)
Anyway-plan was to go out easy for the first 9 and pick it up on the last 7. Did a loop and the first 9 were 7:24 pace. (Did take one very short potty/gu stop 7 miles in) Splits for the last 7 were 6:33, 6:34, 6:41, 6:34, 6:15, 6:54, 7:30, 6:58. (Last 2 miles uphill) Avg pace for last 7 was 6:45, and avg pace over the whole run was 7:08..Wooohoo! Today was the first day I have felt really good in a long time...Not sure if its the 7 days of my new thyroid medication or I just had a good day-but I felt much stronger today than usual, and I will not complain!:) |

Time to update my blog...Ran on my aunt's treadmill today in the Philippines..(My husband served his mission in the Phillippines 12 yrs ago and has always wanted to take me back-and ironically my aunt and uncle got called as mission president's over his exact mission so we decided now was the perfect time to go) Anyway-I alternated 5x400s and 5xhills with .25 jog in between. The 400s were each at 6:00 pace and the hills were at 6.0 incline and 7:00 pace. This was a good workout-and I was hot and overheated by the end....

| From Manilla we took a small flight to Palowan and stayed on an island just off of Palowan...It was so beautiful. Anyway at the resort there was no where to run-but I just made do the best I could. It was only 200 meters around the whole resort and it was thick white sand-so I ran around the resort a couple hundred times to make 5 miles. It was really tough running in the thick sand and the hot humidity!! I wasn't used to it at all and was sweating out of every pore by the end!! My avg pace was only 8:55! Lol! |

| Ran around the resort in the thick sand again and hot humidity. This time I attempted some speed-lol! After a short warm up I did 8x400s with .15 jog in between. Fast bits were around 7:00 pace...I know...not so fast-but I felt like it was still a good workout in the thick sand....People had to think I was crazy-dripping from sweat attempting to do speed in the sand...Lol- |

| Took the kids to the park today and attempted a little bit of speed. I didn't know how it would go considering how terrible I have felt this week. I did 1 mile at 5:52, 400 jog- then an 800 at 2:56... That is all my body would allow me to do..I was happy with my splits-but this workout was really hard mentally and physically for me..The first half of each interval I felt fine-but then the fatigue started setting in and it was hard to finish...After I could not stop coughing. I am really getting sick of this thing!!! It has been a long time since I have been this sick. I have a 10k on Saturday-I really want to race it-but I may have to do it for fun if this keeps up...booo |

Haha...As you can see from the crazy distance-the dreaded nightmare happened and I got lost on the course today..Details below...
Plan today was to not worry about time and just run however my body was feeling..(I have been sick all week with a terrible cough/cold/flu so I didn't have big expectations). I also knew going in that my time would be slow considering 80% of this course is in the dirt and hills. There was also 750 ft feet of elevation change-although the start and finish are at the same spot. (Picture the desert-brown dirt and pinon trees-that is where this course was-lol) Got to the starting line and it was a super small race-maybe 100 people-split between a 5k and 10k.. Gun went off and my first split was 6:35...I was ahead at the mile but 2 guys followed closely behind. 2 mile split was 6:56, at this point the guy behind me threw in a surge to run side by side with me and he stayed that way for a minute and then completely died off. On the course there are signs with arrows saying where to go and around the 2.5 mile mark there was a sign saying to turn right and I did-but I turned right onto the road-not the dirt trail... There was a lady directing there-and she didn't even say anything to me!... Boo...Anyway-I ran on my merry way and after going about .4 on the road I looked back to see where the guy was and he was no where in sight. Crap! He must have really died or I must have missed a turn-I decided on the latter and turned around and ran .4 back and realized I was supposed to go on the trail instead of the road. I was bummed-but oh well what could I do?...Maybe I can start picking people off I thought...This part of the course was a trail going up and down hills and making quite a few turns. Slowly but surely I started picking people off. 1 girl, then two, then 3, then about a half mile before the finish I passsed the 4th or 5th girl. I had no clue if there were any other girls ahead of me...Anyway, I kicked it in a little for the last .92 which was downhill-but my splits for miles 3-7 were pathetic...7:37, 7:04, 7:58, 7:02 and 5:49 for .92. lol..At least I was still the first girl..(not much competition in Farmington as you can see) Anyway-they gave me a 50 visa gift card and I won a great harvest bread basket...Not too shabby...My body did feel extremely tired today-but at least the coughing waited until after the race to start..I'm hoping next week I can have more "quality miles" and get down to business.. Fingers crossed it will be a much better week...
Here's to no more getting lost...lol

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 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... |

| 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!!

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... |

Short Race report version....Ran subpar race in the wind...(10 minutes off of goal time)
Full Details...Got up really stoked to run today...Had high hopes of running sub 2:55 today (and secretly I thought I could run even faster-possibly beating or getting close to my 2:50 pr..) Arrived at the bus at 4:05 and waited in line 35 minutes to get on the bus...Got up to Wallsburg and had potty break and stretched a little...Was a tad concerned it was going to be a hot day-because I wasn't even cold at the top... Lined up at the first and the gun shot and we were off...(was a little wierd there was no countdown or anything-just a sudden gun shot signaling the start) Anyway-went out with a group of 6 girls, including Emily Bates (who won)... I was quite startled to see our first mile was 6:09...This mile felt like I was jogging at a slow pace-but I knew it was at least 20 seconds too fast..I really wanted to run with the pack of girls-but I slowly started to let them go... Miles 2-4 were around 6:20 pace and at mile 5 I settled into a 6:30 pace...(I passed 2 girls at this point to be in 3rd place) I was feeling awesome at this point in the race.. These miles were very downhill and although they weren't completely effortless but they felt really relaxed and easy..I just knew that I was going to pr today...(boy did I think wrong) Miles 6-7 were both at 6:36 pace... (I started to slowly notice the wind at this point-but it wasn't until turning left to go by deer creek that I really noticed the blazing headwind) Mile 8 was 7:25 (uphill into the wind) My great splits pretty much flew out the window here...."Stupid wind" I kept thinking to myself.. After mile 8 a kind man told me to draft behind him...I drafted off of him for 2 miles until he pulled out to walk...(So kind of him) After this I was left completely alone to face the wind myself...It was blowing extremely hard and even though alot of this section is downhill-I wasn't able to make good use of it due to the wind. My splits were all over the place and I was getting a little frustrated...Around mile 10 or 11 I knew that a sub 2:55 was not in the plans today due to the windy conditions so my game plan changed to running by effort-not split times.. I kind of stopped looking at my splits because they were so horrendous..The wind was so bad my headphones kept wanting to come off my ears..(Couldn't even really hear the music) My halfway point was 1:29:30..(Maybe I can pull off a sub 3 I thought) I was having a hard time believing I still had 13 more miles to go...Around mile 15ish I saw the girl in 2nd and was working on trying to catch her when she took off like a bandit again...I tried to draft off of people when I passed them or if they passed me-but it was hard- nobody seemed to be going my same pace and most of the time I was alone.. Saw the fam at mile 16 and that rejuvinated my spirits a little..My mom handed me a water bottle and I drank some and dumped the rest on my head..(I was hot already) They told me there was a girl a minute or two behind me..Crap I thought-I really wanted to maintain 3rd place. I kept pressing on-but it was really hard-I knew my stride was sluggish and I was tired of battling the wind..I tried to remain positive-but it was hard due to how I was feeling and the headwind...Finally when we turned onto center street-the crazy headwind died down..I tried picking it up-but my legs didn't have it in them. My family kept telling me that the girl was gaining on me and she finally passed me with about 4 miles to go...She was going too fast for me to try to stay with her so I let her pass. "Come on, only a couple more" I kept telling myself...I should have been able to pick it up but I think fighting the wind and the early fast miles took too much out of me... At this point I saw my friend Tara from the blog and she told me two more girls were within a minute away from me.. "They can't pass me" I kept telling myself-but I knew I was slowly dying. My legs weren't very crampy-but they didn't have any pickup in them..I was just slogging along as fast as I could go around a pathetic 7:00-7:28 pace. With about 3 miles to go another girl in orange (who went on the take 2nd) passed me like I was standing still.. Now I was in 5th place and knew no one else could pass me if I wanted to place... Tara drove by with about 2.5 miles left and told me two girls were behind me, the next one about 45 seconds away...I tried picking it up here a little bit-and I did-only slightly though..Tara said she was 35 seconds away with about 1.5 to go....Determined to not let her beat me I tried kicking it the best I could...(My kick was pathetic) I just kept focusing on the finish line...(Not hard to focus on since you can see it 1.5 miles away) With about a mile to go Tara ran with me for a little bit-and told me I had it if I kept it steady...Last mile was 7:00 pace... I crossed the line completely pooped. 3:09...What?! I thought...That can't be right..Later realized the clock was off and I really ran 3:05:55... The girl behind me was only 16 seconds behind.. And I was only 1:35 away from 2nd place... (Everyone was pretty close for places 2-7th...)
After thoughts:This was a tough race for me...Everything seemed great until mile 8 when we hit the wind...I realized you can train as hard as you want for a race-but you have no idea what conditions/trials you will be faced in the actual race-you just have to change your game plan and make do with what is thrown your way... I love that I learn something new from every race.. In hindsight I think starting out slightly too fast and battling the wind really hindered my performance and kick at the end that normally I like to have. I think my body and mind need a break from racing and training for a bit-so that is what I intend to do...Good job to all those that ran and persevered in the tough conditions and I guess in the long run it will only make us stronger next time... |

| I'm back!!! Holy cow...First day back since UVM...(over 3 week break) It has been a nice break-both mentally and physically..My fam was at Newport beach in California and I was itching to run so I did 5 on the boardwalk. Avg pace was 7. I can tell it has been a while since I have run-the pace felt kind of hard. (I was sore the next day...lol) I don't have any races planned right now so I still plan on taking it pretty easy... |

| 6.5 miles on Newport beach boardwalk-up into balboa island.. Watch died on me-but my pace was around 7:30... So fun to run in California-perfect weather, nice breeze.. I think I could live there-if it weren't for the traffic.. Felt kind of tired today-body has definitely lost a little fitness-but what can I expect after taking more than 3 weeks off. |

| Made my first attempt at speed since UVM-well over a month ago. Did 8x400s on the mill. Alternated fast/slow 400s. Fast were at 6:00 pace, slow were 8:00 pace. This workout kicked my butt-and I was tempted to quit at 5 or 6-but I held strong and did 8.. I have definitely lost some fitness...boo |

Ran outside today. Did 2.75 warmup, then ran to the track and did 2.5 miles alternating fast and slow laps. (so technically I did 5x400s with 400 jog in between) I wanted to time them-but my watch died so I have no idea how fast they were.. I think they were at least 6 minute pace though and my recovery laps I believe were around 7-7:30 pace. (If I were to guess) |

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!!

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) |

| 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 |

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.. |

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 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!!!) |

(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) |

(part of the half marathon course I did a couple weeks ago) I wasn't planning on tempoing this run-but it kinds of turned into a tempo the last half.. The first couple were a little slow due to the hills, but the last couple miles were 7:11,6:25,6:52,6:57,last .25 in 6:28. Anyway-I felt good so I just went with it.. (Avg pace for entire run was 7:13) |

(First 3 sets were downhill, last one-flat-rolling hills... Felt good again today, I know my times will start slowing down alot more due to the pregnancy-but for now I am feeling good and relaxed so I will keep it up for a bit.. |

(weird) Anyway, I am doing a 5k on Saturday so I wanted to do a little speed today-I will probably take it pretty easy the rest of the week. |

| Got up and did the 2nd annual local Turkey Trot.. Was happy to hear there was about 250 runners.. (This is a good turnout in my town) Anyway, my splits were 6:13, 7:07,(big hill on mile 2) 6:25 last .02 in 7 seconds. (I showed the course only being 3.02 not 3.1) Anyway, I felt good about it.. I was probably 12th or 13th overall and the next girl in was about 40-45 seconds behind me. I looked at my results from last year and was about a minute 15 seconds slower this year-but what can I expect at 17 weeks pregnant.. I will take it.. I felt good the whole time-pushing but not too hard, although now I am tired... Won a 75 girftcard to safeway and new shoes so I am happy about that.. My kids liked the little games and face painting afterward and my daughter even did the best gobbler contest.. haha.. Happy Turkey Day next week! |

Got up early to run before our flight left... I figured it was probably about 5 miles ez. (I love running other places-especially foreign-so much more entertaining than home:) Wished I could have ran more than 9 miles this week-but our schedule was crazy... |
