Back off week! Yay! I'm ready for a rest week. I'm fighting a head cold, so it might be lighter than I planned. Rest is the goal.

Today was a little bit of everything. 3 miles solo, 2 with Cole, and finished by myself. 8 x 20 second strides. I'm excited for Deseret News next week.

Met with Becca for a tempo type workout. I warmed up 2.75 and then we ran 2 x 10 minutes with 5 minutes recovery in between. I didn't really have a goal pace. I just wanted to get a little turnover in. Becca insisted that she couldn't go faster than 6:20 pace. She can. The first set was 6:11 average. My body loves 6:10-15. It settles right in to that pace. The second set was 5:55 average. So, about marathon effort and ideal half marathon effort (For a downhill marathon :)) If I can run Deseret News at that pace, I should be pretty close to my time from 2013. Cooled down until I hit nine.

Hot, humid, and windy. Not a very enjoyable run. At least it was short. 5 days to go! 7:23 average.

A short fartlek turnover workout. 20 minute warm up. 3 x 3-2-1 minutes with 2-1-1 minute recovery. 6:32 average. Most intervals in the 5:10-5:20 range. Easy 5-6 tomorrow. Shake out on Sunday. Kill it on Monday. I'm feeling pretty good.

It's weird to run short on a Saturday. I wanted to keep going because I felt like I just got warmed up. Save it for Monday! My hips are sore from doing Pilates yesterday. Gotta roll out and recover. I'm ready for race day to get here.
