Good start to July training.  Warmed up 2.75.  Training Cole for nationals in a few weeks.  Today was a strength based workout.  2 sets of 4 x 400 with 60 seconds recovery.  400 meters between sets.  Set 1 at 3k pace.  Set 2 at 1500 pace.  We hit consistent 82s on the first set.  78, 78, 79, 78 for set 2.  I did 2 more in the last set at 81, 79.  I haven’t run sub 80 in a long time.  Cole wasn’t used to short recovery.  But, he handled it.  He struggled a bit mentally on the last two.  But, he kept the pace.  1.25 mile cool down.

Ran Murray 5k today.  It’s a 4th of July tradition dating back to the day before our wedding 16 years ago.  I’m still trying to work on my fitness, so I knew it wouldn’t be a stellar effort today.  I wanted to run faster than TVille Dayzz, but this is a much more difficult course.  Warmed up 3 miles plus strides.  Told myself to be somewhat conservative in the 1st uphill mile.  Ran 6:11, 6:02, and then struggled a bit to maintain.  6:24 on the third mile.  Finished in 19:25 to TvilleDayzz 19:20.  Still thought today’s effort was better given the tough course.  Finished fifth overall, 1st masters.  Hoping to break 19 at Draper Days.  We’ll go from there.  Three mile cool down.  Also had a dance rehearsal last night that killed my calves.  Might have been a slight factor today.

Getting my long run in a day early.  80 minutes (well, a little longer.) Didn’t feel too badly post race!  Trying to get a little stronger every day.  A long way to go still. 6:59 average.

6 with Cole and the rest on my own.  Wanted enough to hit 50!  Hoping to keep on a roll. I feel so much better about myself when I work out hard.  7:34 average.
