"No one ever drowned in sweat."

5.5 miles around Herriman this afternoon.  It is SO warm today! I loved being out there without feeling covered head to toe in Underarmor! Hooray for SPRING!!! There were so many people out running today. I've decided that I love runners. They are always so friendly and positive. It is very rare that you pass a runner that doesn't at least wave hello. Must be those endorphins!

I am happy to report that I am feeling much better since I've been on antibiotics and I'm hoping that March will be a good month. No sicknesses this month...PLEASE!!! I really want a PR for the Salt Lake half! 

Here are my splits from today:

1 - 8:48; 2 - 9:09, 3 - 9:15; 4 - 9:29; 5 - 10:05; last .5 mile - 9:58 (can you tell I live at the top of a hill...oh well, hopefully it will make me stronger at the end of my races with some practice)

5.0 miles on the TM this morning. First and last miles at a 9:00 pace, miles 2-4 varied between 7:45 and 8:15 pace. 

I'm having trouble staying motivated this week (as you can see from my low miles this week).  I just feel like I have so much on my plate! Looking at my schedule I realized that I'm going to have to wake up at 5:00am at least 4 days a week to get my training in.  I did it this morning and I feel so much better now that I've got my miles in for the day, I just wish I could be more consistent. Any advice?

9.0 miles around Herriman this morning.  AP 9:18.  

I felt just a little bit faster on the hills I came across and was able to recover more quickly.  After running a hill, it usually takes me a while to speed up again, but today my legs seemed a bit stronger! Hooray! Maybe one day I won't dip down into the 10:00's when I'm running a hill!  It totally ruins my average pace goals, but oh well. It is what it is!
