I warmed up fifteen minute and then ran a fartlek workout on 3 x 3-2-1 minutes with 2-1-1 minute recoveries. I felt pretty good today, but my speed needs some development. I finished with a 15 minute recovery to complete a full hour of running. 6:57 average.

After my run I took Total Body Conditioning. I made it through all six sets of frog jumps! Success!

Treadmill. No real reason. I just got off to a slow start this morning. I ran an eight mile progression run with one minute pick ups every five minutes. 53:56 for eight miles. I plan on an easier longer run tomorrow.

I originally planned on 10 miles this morning. But, I'm doing a workout tomorrow which should give me some extra miles, so 8 was plenty.

It was a beautiful, cool morning. It's nice to see the sun again after yesterday's downpour. I'm feeling stronger every day. I've noticed that the added strength work definitely helps with muscle recovery. I ran 1300 W to the River Trail at 7000 S. I saw runners dressed in full tights and long sleeves like it was winter. They must have been dying. It's not that cold out! 6:55 average.

I registered for Murray Fun Days 5k! First race back. I am keeping my expectations low! I just submitted my info for CIM. Eek! I must be getting back into the swing of things if I'm thinking about fast marathons. We will see what the elite athlete coordinator has to say!

One of those days when I felt extra tired. I've been over-working the last few days. I need to back off my "easy runs", especially now that I'm adding some fartlek/tempo work in. I was going to take cycle this morning, but I don't think my legs can handle much more abuse.

I warmed up 15 minutes and then ran 10 x 2 minutes on/off at Valley Park. The wind didn't make for an enjoyable experience. I was at 7.3 miles at 50 minutes, so I just ran another loop of the park and home to hit ten. Average pace was 7:08.

I kept Jenny and Allie company for a few miles on their long run. I'm glad they let me tag along. I ran 6.5 miles through Sugarhouse, and then did ten hill sprints to finish up. I didn't even plan it, but I ran the perfect amount to even out my weekly mileage. Those partial miles add up!

Later AM: Zumba

Creeping the long run up one mile at a time! I ran 4800 S to State Street, over to Vine, up around Murray Park and back. I jumped on the River Trail and got off at Bullion to extend the run a bit. I like this run because it is easy to vary.

After running, I went over to the health club and took Body Pump. Ouch. It was pretty tough after running.

I went to input my workouts and the site was down. It bugged me all day that my mileage chart wasn't complete for the week! Thank you Sasha for fixing it. I'm mentally dependent on my ability to record my mileage every day. If I don't write it down it's like I never ran it. Which is why I'm blogging at 2:30 AM.

I may have a serious problem.
