I went to the oval this morning for some speedwork. I warmed up about three miles. I jumped in the workout of a group that was training there. They were running 6 x 2 laps, with a half lap recovery. So, 884 meter repeats with 221 meter recovery. My paces were a bit all over the place. I split the occasional 200 or 400 to see how fast I was going, but I was primarily running off of effort. I ran anywhere from 5:25 pace (too fast!) to 5:45 pace. I think my average was around 5:40 pace. The short recovery made for a rough workout. We will just call it a good fartlek workout! I think next week I will run 800 meter repeats to see where I really am.

This group meets every Tuesday morning, so it will be nice to have some training partners.

2.5 mile cooldown.

I felt terrible all day today. I almost gave up on getting a run in. But, I had hired a babysitter, so I told myself to get at least five in. It was nice running in daylight and not in the cold/dark+freezy morning. I fe a little better as I ran, and managed to pull out eight miles. Yay for a mind over body victory. 6:57 average.

I warmed up three miles, and ran a 45 minute tempo. Since it was shorter, I ran it harder than my long tempos. I started at 6:15 pace and increased .1 every 5 minutes. I felt pretty good. I could have made it to eight, but it would have been pretty tough after that. I hit 7.5 miles in just over 45 minutes, so 6:00-6:01 treadmill average. I cooled down 1.5 miles.

A little farther than I had planned, but what a great confidence booster. The longer tempos are making a difference. I met Jenny and James at Liberty Park. We wanted to run the Salt Lake Half course. We ran up, up, up, to Legacy Bridge, and then ran the half course. Our goal was to get faster through the run, and finish strong. I ran hard through eighteen, since that was the mileage goal, and then ran the last two as cooldown.

7:47, 7:50, 7:57, 7:51, 7:15, 7:02, 6:49, 6:44, 6:28, 6:46,6:55, 6:38, 6:50, 6:49, 6:48, 6:20, 6:33, 6:16, 7:15, 7:18.

I'm happy to hit my mileage goals for this week. 7:01 average.
