Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

In San Diego for work.  So nice to be in shorts and a tshirt.   Pace was too fast for an easy day but felt good.

Ave Pace 8:57

Happy Running!

Still in San Diego and warmer than yesterday.  I did a repeat of a workout I did last fall - I need to go back and compare.   4.5 miles out and downhill.  3.5 miles backup hill at 7:53, 7:57 & 7:35 - not sure on the .5 lost in the other miles.   Legs were on fire!  Had a few lights to stop at on the last mile but nice to get it in.

Checked out my previous workout last August and the ave pace was 8:54 and I did not hit 7's on any of the miles back up.  Now, I know that I did not run it as a work out like I did here but still this is some encouragement!

The usual Wednesday route with Paula.  Legs were very tired and I took it very easy.

Met the BBK's for hill repeats up the Lampton side of Tithing Hill.  I was really scared when Peggy mentioned that we would be doing 8 repeats - OUCH!  I did them all - not great but I did not chicken out.  I ended up with short walking breaks on 3 of them but ran the last two hard.   I wanted to really take the last two miles easy but pushed myself to catch up with the group.   Glad it is done and glad I have a starting point for the rest of the year.

Happy Running!

Completely exhausted and a crazy day.  45 min of yoga.

Down in St. George for the weekend and on my own for a Saturday run.   I decided to do another speed workout instead of 13 miles.  Not sure if that was the smart choice but I had a good run.  I warmed up for 3 miles and then did 2 fast miles, 1 mile recovery and then 2 more fast miles and then a 2 mile cool down.  

mile 1:  8:01 - oops missed this one

mile 2: 7:48 - better

recovery mile:  8:26 - recovery, also stopped to give somebody directions.

mile 1: 7:58 - should have been faster because there was some slight downhill

mile 2: 7:33 - much better

Glad it was done and probably could have added another set at that pace. 

Ave pace 8:23 - same as my painters pace 3 weeks ago.  Improvement is coming.

Happy Running!
