I warmed up by jogging to Valley Park.  Then, I ran 2 x 5 min/3 min/2 min, with 3 min/2 min/1 min recovery.  I ran home for recovery.  My stomach seems to be doing a little better.  I only had to stop once after my warm-up, and managed to make it through the workout.  Success!

I met Jen for our Murray Park to Wheeler Farm run.  I really like running at Wheeler Farm.  It's a good place to add a little soft surface running.

I registered for St. George yesterday.  Now, I'm just waiting to see if I got in!

I warmed up on a three mile loop through the neighborhood and ended up at Taylorsville High School.  I went into the high school to use the bathroom.  This made me nervous.  I kept expecting some teacher to stop me and ask where my visitor's pass was. 

I ran 15 x 200 on/off .  They were all between 39 and 40 seconds, with the outliers being a 38 and a 40.66.  They were nice and consistent, though I would definitely like them to be faster.  I ran a lap to finish 4 miles in 29:07, then I ran a mile home.

I ran easy with no watch today.  I concentrated on keeping my breathing nice and easy.  I have tired legs from getting on the track yesterday.  My calves and hips are especially sore.  Who knew that 200's could be so taxing? 

 

My running dream from last night:  I was running a half marathon in Maine.  I thought the race was on Sunday, and it was actually on Saturday.  I completely missed the race.  Jake was the winner, though I didn't see what time he ran.  Funny running dreams.

I warmed up two miles and then ran 3 x 10 minutes with 2 minutes jog recovery inbetween.  The first ten minutes I ran 6:20 pace, the second 10 minutes 6:12 pace, and the third 10 minutes 6:05 pace.  I felt pretty comfortable until the last 5 minutes of the third repeat.  Then, I cooled down until I hit 55 minutes of running.  8.18 miles.  Slowly, but surely my fitness is returning!

I felt MUCH better than last week.  It definitely helped not having to stop every 10 minutes.  I'm glad that my stomach is functioning properly again.  I felt pretty good after yesterday's workout, which means that I didn't overdo it yesterday. 

I ran 1300 W to 7800S and on to the river trail at Gardner Village.  I ran along the trail to the 4800 S exit.  I ran back up 4800S, and then swung out to 4700 to 2200W.  Then, I ran 2200 W to my neighborhood and back to my house.  I'm glad that I got out early.  It's going to be very warm today.

I hit a whopping 50 miles this week!  I almost feel as if I'm training again!
