| Today starts day 1 of a 20 week marathon training schedule. I'm going to run TOU full as a 40th birthday present to myself. My down week last week turned into a mostly off week with sick kids involved. The timing was actually pretty good for a light (almost transparent) training week. 8.3 miles to start off the week. 7:08 average. Beautiful morning. It's getting lighter! | | Comments(3) |

| I decided that I need more hill training in my regimen. I'm a terrible hill runner, and I know there are plenty in TOU. I ran a 3 mile warm up to the bottom of Bullion hill. This hill is .27 miles. I ran 6 of them. I ran to the bottom to recover. I averaged 1:45 up, and 2 minutes back down on each one. Then, I ran to the steeper but shorter hill up to 1300 W. This hill is .12 miles long. I ran 4 of them. 49-50 seconds up, 1 minute back down. I was definitely not too quick this morning. Hills will take some work. Ran a mile home to finish. | | Add Comment |

| Feeling yesterday's hills. Nice easy morning run. It was chilly and my hands were cold. Fog was rising off the river at sunrise. It was beautiful to see. 7:35 average.

| Got up to run, but Cali woke up and didn't go back to sleep. So it was a gym day. Warm up followed by 4 x 10 minutes hard/3 minutes easy. 6:12 pace, 6:05 pace, 5:58 pace, 5:55 pace. That treadmill runs a little slow, but the effort seemed right for the workout. Short cooldown. I'm planning on doing my long run tomorrow because Teren is taking the boys camping this weekend. | | Add Comment |

| Tired legs from yesterday, but I am glad I got my longer run in today. I don't have to stress it tomorrow when I don't have many babysitting options. A very nice gas station employee insisted on cleaning the toilet befow I used it this morning. SO kind. 7:06 average. When I got home I ran an extra mile with Cole. | | Add Comment |

| I was able to run a little later in the morning. It was nice sleeping in until six and running when it's light. I ran a couple miles in the neighborhood and then ran out to Valley Park and around through the neighborhood, then home. Perfect morning. 7:16 average. | | Add Comment |

| 20 minute warm up. 4x200 strides. 1600-800-800-400-400-400-400. 1 lap recoveries between the 1600 and 800's. 90 second recovery between the 400s. 1600: 5:43 800: 2:45 800: 2:45 400s: 80, 80, 82,79. The headwind on the home stretch was killing me today. I also didn't enjoy running around high schoolers. Overall, kind of a blah day mentally. Quick jog home. I don't have as much time now that Teren runs in the morning too. | | Add Comment |

| I ran the TOSH Jordan River Half Marathon as a tempo run today. My goal was 6:30 average. I hit it pretty close. I need to learn to focus a lot better in the later miles of a race. My stomach wasn't happy. I had one quick pit stop. I also missed where the course went under a bridge and had to backtrack. Oh well! Good effort, and I got a little money for the morning. I don't feel anywhere close to being ready for a marathon, but efforts like today will help! I think sub-2:50 is a good goal for TOU. | | Comments(1) |

| It's great when my husband is off of work and I can run later in the morning. Easy recovery today and probably tomorrow. I feel pretty decent after Saturday's harder effort, but my Achilles is a little sore. Listened to a podcast that was ranking high school movies. RIP John Hughes! | | Add Comment |

| It is getting really warm in the morning. I was so thirsty when I got home. Valley Park to 3200 W to 2200 W and home. Got yelled at by a dude in a pick up. Why is it always a dude in a pick up? Hate that! Went to Zumba when I got home. | | Add Comment |

| Jogged with Cole dowmph o the Taylorsville High track. I had him run a mile of hard/easy every 100 meters. He ran a 7:35 mile doing this. I'm impressed with his progress. He's been running every day for the last four weeks. My two older kids are doing rec center track. Then, we ran home. 2.3 miles. Teren had to go to work, so I went to the gym for my workout. I did a ten minute warm up. Then, I ran 10 x 2 minutes on/off, starting at 10 mph and finishing at 11 mph. Cooled down five minutes for 8 miles total. | | Add Comment |
