 Stay healthy!  (My biggest challenge!)

I've been running since I was nine.  I'm married to a fellow runner who inspires and supports me.  We have two children:  Cole (4) and Lily (18 mos.)  I help Bill Cobler coach cross country at East High School.

6 miles solo.  Then paced Lily on 3 x 800 workout.  1.5 mile warm up.  Strides.  3 x 800 with 2 minute recovery in between.  3:25, 3:21, 3:08.  Last one was a PR.  I probably took her a little too hard, but I am pretty sure she is more than capable of a sub 3:00 800.  Short jog home.

Mile repeats with Tee, Becca, and Devra.  2 mile warm up plus strides.  4 x 1 mile on the JRT.  Goal was 6:00 or under.  The river trail rolls just a little bit.  3:30- 4 minute recovery.  5:56, 5:56, 5:48, 6:00.  Really tired on the last one, but I finished it out.  Jog home.  I'm glad to see my fitness returning.

Shorter than I planned for today.  Oh well.  3.5 solo, then to the track.  I paced a Race Cats runner in a mile, and then paced Lily in an 800.  She wanted to break 3:00.  She ran a 3:01.  So close!!!

It is so hot!!!  Even early in the morning.  I ran with Tee, Devra, and Becca from Murray Park up to Holladay Boulevard.  I planned on 15, but started struggling after ten.  I could tell I was pretty dehydrated.  However, I got at least two hours of dancing, that more than made up for those last two miles.  I want to take a down week next week and then start hitting 60 mile weeks!  It's been awhile!
