Detox run.  Was feeling sluggish and achy after eating out yesterday --blame it on the mexi-beans. So just got out late at 930am and did a couple of mile repeats.  No plan just came to me to do them.  Like I would start out on this two mile loop and then say "why don't I just go to that other two mile point and sprint a mile home?" to make it a 3 mile loop with some speed.  So I did.  First mile 8:45 nice and wake up pace, second mile 8:17 (all up hill), third mile down then uphill at 6:13 pace.  Yay.  Liked that and it wasn't all out so I wasn't near nauseated.  Did that route again.  Like when you do a fast mile then the easy miles are faster with much less effort.  Second round splits--- 7:42, 7:38 then the last my speed mile at 6:05!!!  HELLO!!  Liked that.  Ran another different 3.16 mile loop to avoid passing the same people three times already and a couple of bull dogs that scared me at first as they began to chase me until I said "NO".  Ran a 1/2 mile cool down at the very end at 8:34 pace.  Avg pace for the totoal 9.62 miles= 7:43.  Feel detoxed now.  Going to go eat well.

Awesome run Julie!

Mel, you like that 6:05? Too weird. I think I am peaking too late or early. I think I like winter running. So we should kick it in gear at Antelope right? and then the next week after daylight savings will zap the energy out of me again....unless a job changes everything for me : D. How did your run go? I will try to call you later.

Dang. Check out those miles! You'll be cracking 6's next thing. And WOW you are putting in some miles this week. I think you need to go race you are in PR shape!

April, we were going to run a Turkey Trot but I work the night before and the night of T-day so instead we (mel, kim and I) are trying to put a Fun Run together on T-day. Not sure where to race except in January at the PF changs rock n' roll half in Arizona close to where my mom lives in the winter. There's a half in St. George the week after that but that is my weekend on at work. Best to schedule around my weekends as there are a lot of sick people and no one can get days off. I feel race ready though. Maybe I should run Boston again with Kim.

Solid run. Beats the heck out of most of the detox runs I do...
