I've been running since I was nine.  I'm married to a fellow runner who inspires and supports me.  We have two children:  Cole (4) and Lily (18 mos.)  I help Bill Cobler coach cross country at East High School.

This is the week that I start throwing in some double runs.  I wanted to front-load this week, and then start backing off a bit on Thursday.  I'm running the Draper Days 5k, and then Deseret News Half Marathon.  I didn't want two weeks of lowered mileage, so I'm planning on keeping this week in the 65-70 range.  That might mean a sluggish Draper Days, but I'm trying to keep the marathon as the major focus.

AM: 4 miles easy.  I forgot what it was like to only run for half an hour.   

 PM:  I wanted a workout somewhere between a tempo run and intervals.  I decided on 3 x 2 mile repeats with half mile recovery in between.  I warmed up three miles before the workout.  

12:00.3, 11:47.2, and 11:40.7  I cooled down until I hit 11.  

2 more long days.  I can do this.

Great plan!

I like the plan too. Andrea and I were talking about this last night... some of these steeper downhill 1/2s are really hard on your legs... UNLESS you are running StG, in which case they are sort of essential. You need to get a couple of them in during the summer to make sure your ready for that marathon.
