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!

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.

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.

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.
