PMP (predicted MP + 45 sec) =  goal of 7:49 for 13 miles with Kim today.  We ran 1800 North west then up a winding road to 700 north (above Costco) headed East then to before AF cementary then head North past the Gazebo Park (I call it that) and up to the road Mtn Ridge Jr. High is on and turned right towards there then right again down Alpine Hwy then thru Lone Peak Park via West Park Rd and up and over past Lone Peak High School crossing over by Walmart and turning right at the roundabout to Henley (sp.?) Rd then west to Farm Rd and some funky looping around Kim's to get us to 13 even. I think we ran well.  Had a headwind as the storm was gaining on us but not too bad.  So glad we went at 5:35am as now the storm is showing its face.  We were at conversation pace and did 5 miles at 7:32, 7:32, 7:33, 7:39, 7:39.  Only two miles above an 8.  One was the first warm up mile at 8:28 that was uphill for me.  The other was a significant uphill by AF jr. high at 8:04 pace.  The other miles were steady inclines with some better downhill near the end.  We ended with a strong mile of 7:39  with more than half of it being uphill and  lots of turning around several times to get to 13 at her house.  13 miles avg pace 7:50.  Missed 7:49 by 13 seconds.  Oh well.  Ran a cool down mile to my house at a trot pace of 9:08.  Carried my B-day present from Kim--  Two cadbury, one dark, one caramel, chocolate bars and a pair of nice addidas running socks.  So sweet!!  I will try not to break into the chocolate bar until Monday.  But I have to say that I had a strong craving at 3 am this morning and was about to give into temptation.  I am not sure how long I can hold out.  Total miles 14.12. Work the weekend, both nights.

Thanks gals!! I was just realizing that my run yesterday was at 1100am so that makes nearly a marathon in 20 hours (24.8)!! No wonder I was needing my sugar!!! I mean MY CHOCOLATE!! Kim didn't realize my no sugar roll calling for February. I did tuck the bars away however. Soon I should feel more energized, right?

Well happy birthday! And what a great run to celebrate! Maybe you can save the treats for your one cheat day this month? Work is the worst though for me when it comes to resisting sweets--so good luck with that. It is easier when I am at home and I don't have any in the house so I don't think about it. You will feel energized soon I am sure! I had some peanut butter toast and it was really satisfying--of course I have always had a thing for peanut butter!
