Catch me if you can

7 miles in the morning.  Later that night I ran 3 very easy miles with my 15 year old daughter, my friend Nycole and our 9 year old boys.

Met the group and the JR trail at 12300 S.  2.5 mile warm up with lots of hills.  Average pace 9:14.  Then we ran South to the end of the trail at 14400 S. and back.  I was able to run and talk to a lot of different people in our group.  It was a fun run.  Average pace for those 7.5 miles was 8:34.

I'm running the Deseret News 10k tomorrow, so decided to take it easy today.  I ran out 1.5 miles.  I saw Cheris and ran back home with her.  We ran a couple of quick strides to work on our leg turnover.  Average pace 9:00.

I got up at 4:15 this morning.  I met at Cheris' house and Peggy drove the three of us to the race.  We warmed up for about 10 minutes before the start.  My splits were 

Mile 1  7:02

Mile 2  6:58

Mile 3  7:15

Mile 4  7:16

Mile 5  7:01

Mile 6  7:22

last .2 ave pace 7:23

I was hoping for 44 minutes, so I was happy with my time.  I really need to practice my downhill form.  I can feel that I hold myself back.   After the race, we ran an easy 3 miles to cool down.  We went back and watched Sasha finish the marathon.  He was amazing to see.   

I ran from home down to the trail out 5.5 and back.  My legs were very tired from the race yesterday.   Average pace 9:23

Out 6.75 miles and back.  Average pace 9:09.  The last few miles, my legs were so tired.   It was a very windy morning.
