Believe to Achieve

3 mile warmup on tm...10am...late start.   Courtney got her braces off and that was fun to watch!! She is pretty excited.  I also took her to lunch after my workout.  Eating without braces!!!  24:15 for the first three miles at 1%.  Then brief water break and stretching.  10 x 1 min on/offs.  10.2 x 2 (5:52), 10.3 x 2 (5:49), 10.4 x 2 (5:45), 10.5x 2 (5:41), and 10.6 x 2 (5:39). Okay this was fine...only I had eaten some Dave's killer bread (toasted) with blackberry jam and a side of cottage cheese and some mango/peach juice.  Max V02 workouts with any sort of food in the stomach...equals some nausea/burping.  I ate this at 8:40am..so 1 hr 20 minutes I was running...not enough time!!  Cooldown to 7 miles (about 1.1 miles at 6.8mph to 7.5mph). Would have done one more mile but had to meet Courtney at 1120am for lunch.

nice easy miles at 545 am with my neighbor Brooke.  8:34ap.  

3.5 mile wu in 28:12. Then 3 x 2000 with 1/4 mile at 8:48 pace in between. First one at 6:15 pace, second one at 6:10 and third one at 6:07. In third i got dizzy and had to stop (low glucose i think....it was 10 45 am and i hadnt eaten since night before.). I was at 0.93 miles...took only 30 seconds cause i was determined and got running for last 0.32 miles at same pace. Then ran three 200s at 10.7 moh , 10.8 and 11.0 mph with equal recovery at 8:48. Cooldown to 10.5 miles. Been depressed so this run was hard mentally then it normally would be if i were not a sea of negativity. It is chemical/hormone and not anything i am doing to myself.

nada. to busy. cocoa to vet for teeth and eye infection and shopping for brookes party.

easy miles before work....out too late cause called in to work late so picked up after first mile..7:51 ap

Plan 12 with 6 at marthon pace (whatever that is).  Ran from my house to mouth of AF canyon via silo road and trail.  Raining lightly at start then pouring at mile 4 to 9.5 miles.  Ran a six out and back course.  AP 6:41.5 for MP miles with no stops.  Miles were 6:23 (a little excited and more downhill then other miles), 6:48 (rolling with significant ups), 6:46 (rolling thru the trail and over puddles and thru puddles, soaking wet since mile four), 6:44, 6:48 (a little up hill section but made up for with a little downhill section), and last mile at 6:39.  Iced in pond.  Felt great to finally finish this but I want to clearly state that MP can't possibly be 6:41 (it is not) and may not even come close to subthree (6:52) so I want to just say I am trying for a PR (3:06) and if stars align and I can remove my anxiety and actually sleep this week I would hope for faster.  This will not be easy.  I have had a long trying year emotionally.  I am trying my best.  It on race day I will do with what I have for the day.  I hope I can rise to the occasion.  : D.  AP for run 7:39.  First mile was 9:22 Ha Ha.
