Training is still sporadic. I have promised myself that after Saturday's race I will sit down, make a plan, and recommit to my training.

I went to the Oval early this morning for a little bit of a turnover workout. I warmed up 3 miles and then ran 12 x 200 on/off. 38-39 seconds per 200. It's hard to move my legs fast at six in the morning. It felt good to get some turnover, but my form didn't feel very efficient. Something to focus on after Saturday. It's definitely time to get back on the track, as fun as fartlek has been.

I cooled down 2 miles. My goal for Saturday: Enjoy the road trip with Jenny to St. George. Have fun in the race. Use it as a good hard workout and as a means to get motivated and excited about training and racing again.

Those are my goals too. I'm hoping for: lots of laughing, singing at the top of our lungs, enjoying some time away from the kiddos, running a good race (but not expecting too much). I think we are going to have a good weekend! :)
