Little Buddha

Just an easy 8 mile run around Murray. It was raining a little and I didn't feel like running much but got it done. I had a long day sitting in class today.

Big Workout #3 5 x 1000m @ CV pace with 200 meter recovery

This was a fun workout, did it in a down pour of rain.  I ran with Steve Piccolo over to Cottonwood high school, nice easy two mile warm-up.

Then got right into the workout

1-3:34 pretty good right on pace

2-3:36 had some watch problems at the start, so started the interval over

3-3:35 felt ok

4-3:36 starting to feel tired

5-3:38 happy to finish one last repeat

Steve did good with his workout, then we did an easy two mile cool down

I ran again with Pic tonight. We left his house and ran back to the condo. Pretty easy run, had to make a pit stop 2 miles in but everything else was good.

7 easy miles still in Salt Lake

Big Workout #4 3 x 1600m with 3:00 min rec

Since I am still in Salt Lake and didn't know of very many good place to run. I just decided to do another track workout over at Cottonwood High School. This morning I did 2 miles easy warm-up, then did 3 x 1600m with 1 lap recovery.

1-5:59

2-5:56

3-5:52

3 miles easy cool-down. This was a decent workout and I felt pretty good. I finished up my class today, and I'm ready to head home for a few days.

Easy 10 miles over to Walmart along 600 North trail. I did a few miles in La Verkin first. This was a difficult week, very busy with classes in Salt Lake. I was happy to get in a few good speed workouts, but I really need to increase my mileage. I also gained a few pounds this week, doesn't help eating and then sitting in class from 8 in the morning until 5. The next two weeks aren't going to be much better with a lot of travel and not being on my normal routine. The bigger mileage weeks my not begin until the last week of June.
