Catch me if you can

Taylor came home for the weekend.  I was so happy to have her home.  She was supposed to run 50 minutes today.  Her ankle and shins were killing her, so we ended up turning around early.  I hope she can those healed up soon.  After we got home, I ran another 6 miles on my own.  Average pace 8:48.

The group was meeting at Butterfield Canyon this morning.  I would've loved to have gone, but It's too far to drive to be back before my kids leave.  So, I decided to to the Boston simulator workout on the treadmill.  It was tough, but not too bad.  I watched Soul Surfer. It was a crazy busy day at work.

4 miles on the treadmill.

I met the group at Riverton High.  I got there a little early and ran around the parking lot for about 6 minutes.  Then I did the early miles with the group before we headed over to the track.  The plan was 8 x 800's.  I seriously don't know what my problem is, but I have not been able to run 800's anywhere near where I used to 2 years ago.  I hope that is not an indication of what is going to happen in the marathon.  The first 5 x 800's were 3:41, 3:40, 3:38, 3:39, and 3:32.  I quit hitting my lap button after that.  I'm just frustrated.  I cooled down until I hit 10 miles. 

6 very slow miles

The BBK's were meeting at Dimple Dell this morning to run 22 miles.  I mentioned to Kelli that I needed to start early so I could get to my sons 9:00 football game.  So this morning at 4:45 Kelli sent me a text saying she was on her way to meet me at the Kmart.  It  sounds silly, but I actually teared up a little thinking what an awesome friend she was to do after she just ran 25 miles yesterday.  Seriously Kelli is amazing.  I was so grateful for the company.  She ended up running the whole 22 miles with me.  I can't thank her enough.  My legs were tired from the beginning.  Average pace 8:53.
