I met Cheris and Michelle M. at Cheris' house for an easy 10 mile run. I didn't sleep well the night before and was exhausted all day. Average pace 9:30.

I met the BBK's at Bingham.  I warmed up for 3.5 miles.  Then we did a faster 2 mile run.  I tried to keep that at marathon pace (8 mm).  Then we headed to the track for 6 Yasso 800's.  My times were:

1. 3:13 (I knew this was way too fast when Peggy and Melanie were right in front of me.)

2. 3:20

3. 3:18

4.  3:19

5. 3:29 (Would have been faster, but I had to answer a phone call from my daughter during the last 100 meters.  It was her first day driving herself to school.)

6. 3:37 (I didn't have Mike there to push me on this last one.  I was done.  I shouldn't have run that first one so fast either.)

I went to bed at 9:30 last night.  I finally got 7 hours of much needed sleep.  I felt so much better today.

I recovered by running slowly for the same amount of time after each  800.

I met the BBK's at South Jordan Park at 5:00 a.m. for our 4 x 5k's workout.  The first 3 miles were at an easy pace.  Miles 4-6 were 7:53, 7:38 and 7:05 with a short recovery after.  The third one I really wanted to push it.  I ran with Mike and we tried to not get too far behind Peggy, Melanie and Scott.  They make it look so easy.   I don't think they were even breathing hard.  I doubt I could have run a real 5k much faster.  Those miles were 7:16, 7:01 and 6:54.  I hit the 3 mile mark in 21:12.  The last 3 miles I ran with Cheris, Michelle M. Nancy R., Melanie and Dean.  We wanted 1 fast mile and 2 cool down miles.  Those times were 7:43, 8:37 and 8:40.  Very fun workout.  The BBK's are the best.

8 very easy treadmill miles. I watched The Spirit of the Marathon. I'm getting excited for St. George.

I met the BBK's at the trail on 7800 S. The plan was 1 warm up mile, 5 miles at tempo pace, a recovery mile, 5 miles at tempo and 1 easy cool down mile. My mile splits were 9:53, 7:51, 7:46, 7:29, 7:46, 7:19, 9:47, 7:27, 7:37, 7:37, 8:07, 7:38 and 9:07. We went out 6.5 miles and came back. We had a strong headwind on the way back. I'm mad at myself for slowing down to a 8:07 during the last tempo run. It was totally a mental thing. Average pace 8:07.
