AM - 13 Turkey Farm. Fell back asleep and missed the run with Clyde and Steve, but I got the run I wanted in anyway. Ran up the turkey farm road and watched an absolutely amazing sunrise - I've said this before, Southern Utah has the most beautiful sunrises/sets anywhere. Then did a tempo on the way back. The first two were at Tinman, but were actually the fastest because they were downhill. Then did 4 at AT effort. Felt pretty good about the run. Now I can keep it rolling and get ready to race in a while. Turkey Trot. 34:53 Later in the morning, went down into the fields for the Turkey Trot with my girls. Rylee and Pyper wanted to run the mile, but Laney wanted to do the 5K, so I ran with her while pushing Elin. This was Laney's first 5K and probably right around her lol gets run ever. She was very excited and talked to me about strategy and all sorts of stuff. She ended up walking 3 times for about 15 meters each. When she would get tired, I would give her a goal to run to and she always made it. Her 3rd mile was the fastest, but each of them were within about 20 seconds of each other. It was a lot fun running with her. Ry ran a strong mile to win overall in 6:10 and Py took 4th (2nd girl) in 7:10. I think Rylee is in shape to break her 5:55 pr next week on the track. Then to top off the morning we won two turkeys! (Kinvara silver 226.5) Week was good as I worked in more mileage a a couple beginning workouts. Goals for next week: last XC trip of the year (down to Phoenix). Kind of sad about that; although the year didn't pan out as we had hoped, they sure are an awesome group of kids. So try and get good mileage toward the beginning of the week and a couple good workouts. |
