Emily's training blog

Back to work. Back to school. Back to consistent training.

I did sleep in a little this morning, so ended up running a tempo run. I ran a ten minute warm up, and then tempoed for an hour. 15 minutes at 6:45, 15 at 6:30, 15 at 6:15, 15 at 6:00. 9.42 miles for an hour. I cooled down five minutes.

I'm working my way up to four miles at each pace. Last time I ran, I did two miles at each pace for a total of eight. I am pretty sure I could do three miles at each pace. Sixteen is a little ways off.

It's soooo much warmer than last week. Thirty degrees feels amazing. I ran loops through the neighborhood. My legs were tired from yesterday. I love when the moon is out in the morning! 7:43 average.

SLCC loop/Costco loop. I warmed up twenty minutes and then 16 x 1 minute on/off for some turnover. It's a little tough running fast in the dark. My depth perception was screwy. It was also very trafficky this morning. I might be better off driving out to Sugarhouse Park or the Oval. I hate running at the oval, though.

7:04 average with two near death intersection crossings.

7 easy with Caisa and her friends in Daybreak. I love having company. Daybreak is hilly! 7:43 average pace.

I slept in, so I ended up at the gym. I should really try to avoid the gym until it settles down in a few weeks. The best treadmill was taken. I warmed up on anothet. I started into my workout and it started to smoke and smell of burnt rubber. So, I changed to another for the rest of the workout. This one is a little slow, so I modified the workout. I warmed up fifteen minutes and then 6 x 5 minutes on 2 minutes off at increasingly faster paces. I cooled down until I hit 45 minutes of workout. About 65 minutes or so total running. 9.7 miles. Or so it said.I hate when someone takes the most accurate treadmill. Oh well, it's all just effort based right now, anyway.

I ran with Jenny this morning. We ran an out and back along Wasatch to get out of the smog. My stomach felt sick the entire run. It must have been the bean with bacon soup from last night. But, we got it in. 7:12 average.

I started a blog. It will be fitness and running focused. Check it out. Feedback is appreciated.
