| Went to Moab. Lots of hiking. No running. We were up and off to the parks at 7 every morning. The place we stayed was not conducive to early morning runs. So, I got more rest than planned for. Hiking with a baby on my back has to count for some cross training though. 90 minute run, just seeing how far I could get. I hit ten miles in 71 minutes, so I did a fast finish for my last 3. 6:30, 6:15, 6:16 Almost exactly 19 minutes for the last 3. 6:55 average for the whole run. Back on track starting Monday. | | Add Comment |

| It's chilly outside! But, I was enjoying the smell of spring blossoms on my run I was startled by some ducks waddling on the canal road. Spring is definitely here! 7:28 average. Total Body Conditioning and Pop Pilates | | Add Comment |

| Sooo sore this morning. But, after a few easy miles, my tired legs started to perk up, and I started to really enjoy the run. I may have actually burst into song and startled some geese. 7:44 average. 9:00 Zumba. I felt the need to burn off some more crazy. | | Add Comment |

| Really windy today. I turned a track day into a fartlek day. 15 minute warm up followed by 5 x 5 minutes hard/3 minutes easy. Paces varied between 5:40 and 6:00. Now to get ready for tomorrow's long run in the rain. | | Add Comment |

| Pouring this morning. I waited until a little later in the morning to run. I bundled up for the cold and rain. I got poured on for six miles and then the sun came out. Then, I roasted for the rest of the run. I ran 13 instead of 15, but that was better than the eight minimum I told myself to finish. I hit 55 miles so yay. | | Add Comment |

| Part fartlek run, part tempo run. My brain was scattered today. Some days it is hard to focus. 20 minute warm up. (2.65 miles) 2 x 1-2-3-2-1 minutes with 1-1-2-1-1 minute recoveries. I originally planned three sets, but wasn't really feeling the workout. I was over four miles at the end of two sets, so I decided to just finish hard to six miles, with the final mile all out. The paces looked like this: 6:21, 6:28, 6:20, 6:29, 6:13, 5:48. 6:16 average for six miles. I think I need something more structured later this week. | | Add Comment |

| I listened to a great interview with Blake Russell on my run today. Lately, I am particularly motivated by fast Master's runners. I must be showing my age. 7:46 average. I tried to stay nice and easy. I can tell I ran hard yesterday. | | Add Comment |

| Two mile warm up plus strides. Tried not to go out too hard. Failed miserably. Struggled badly in the second half. 1:23:27. Uneven race, but fairly happy with my time after only eight weeks of training. Good improvement. More to go. Really thinking of TOU full. Short jog to the trax station for cooldown. | | Comments(1) |

| Mini workout on the tready. I slept in this morning. Progression run with hill repeats. For the first 30 minutes, I threw in a 3% incline for two minutes, every ten minutes. I increased pace .1 every song. After thirty minutes, I did a hill repeat every five minutes instead. I still increased the pace after every song. When I finished, I had completed 7 2 minute hills at 3% incline. At that point I was down to 6:27 pace. I stopped when I felt like I was starting to work too hard. I'm still getting over the half marathon. This week will be relatively easy. Next week I start a 20 week marathon training program.
