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!!
