Christi

Got up early and did 7x3 minutes hard with 2 minutes ez in between. (Most of these were done downhill with the wind mostly at my back so my splits are really fast. My paces for all 7 fast ones were between 5:35-5:45 pace. (I did do the last one as an 800 on the track and my time was 2:44) my recovery pace for all of them was about 8:00. Overall pace including recovery in between for 5.22 miles was 6:20. I thought I would be tired from Saturdays long run but I felt great! (Finished up at the track with a stairs workout) got home and did planks, push-ups ECt. Very happy with today's workout

5 ez miles @ 8:30 pace on tm

Ran outside today. I did 3x10 minutes at threshold pace, followed by one minute jog then 2 minutes hard then 3 minute jog/recovery between sets. (Started on top of piñon rd and did college-so the first 2 sets were somewhat downhill) first 10 minutes was 6:06 pace, 2minutes hard was 5:50 pace. 2nd 10 minutes was 6:08 pace, 2 minutes-5:44 pace. 3rd 10 minutes-6:25 pace (partway uphill) 2minutes 6:12 pace(uphill) my recovery pace for all was around 8:00. Felt good today. I feel like I am finally getting stronger and my body is starting to feel more comfortable running faster paces. I haven't felt this way since before having the baby-so I am happy.

5 ez on the tm around 8:30 pace

Ran 17 outside this morning. Did nanny brown loop, 2.25 miles at the track then did 3 miles out and back toward Pv high. Anyway, goal today was to run a solid pace, pushing, but keeping it within myself and relaxed. My average pace for all 17 was 6:58. Last 2 miles were slightly faster at 6:37 and 6:29. Very happy with the effort today-felt a lot better than last weeks long run. (Short water stop at my house at mile 11)
