Three mile I wanted them to be tempo miles but I guess I am still not all better I ran the first on in 8:29 the second in 8:57 (had to wait to cross street) but the last mile was harder than it should have been and I did it in 9:41

I don't really think these are threshold miles but they were not easy miles eather. 

I was going to run to vote this morning 1.5 miles from my house and then run home.  I watched the news last night and they said it would start to ran at 11:00.  I planned to be out the door by 7:30 and so I had plenty of time to get there and back before the rain started.  To my surprise it started to rain right at 7:30.  I was going to run any way but didn't want to run with an umbrella and I didn't want to stand in line without one. so I drove, voted and then went to the gym.  Ran 3 miles at 1% incline first one at 9:12 second 8:49 adn last one with intervals were I ajusted the speed any were from 6 mph to 7.2 mph.  Tomorrow I should run three miles at race pace but I am not sure what that pace is right now - Kimmy what pace are you going to run for you race pace day?  I think I might try 8:49 at 1% and see how that goes.

Lifted for ham, quad, glute

3 miles at race pace is what the work out called for today.  I was not sure if I should go at 8:45 which is my marathon race pace or 8:30 which is my half marathon race pace.  After talking to Kimmy I decided to go with the 8:30 and see how it would go. Here is how it went.

Warmed up slowly for 5 min at a 1% incline I started at a 5.5mph and worked up to 6.0 after the five minutes I bumped up the speed to 7.1 mph (8:27 pace) ran that for a mile and a half and then bumped the speed to 7.2 (8:20 pace) ran that for .8 of a mile and then the last .2 I went to an 8.0 (7:30 pace)  It didn't feel good but I think the thing I am learning about speed work is that it is hard, it should be hard.  I so wanted it to get easy but I don't think it will and if I want to get faster I need to just stay with it even though it its hard.

Lifted for bicep, tricep, abs and back

Spin Class - Took it easy today I was spent from the run.

Out the door at 6:15 for my run today.  Went for a 10 mile run.  When I started I told myself that I was still getting over being sick and I wouldn’t look at my watch at all this run.  I still took it with me of course I would feel naked without it! Here are my splits and I am looking at them for the first time as I type this.

 9:20, 8:57, 9:14, 9:01, 9:29, 8:52, 9:36, 9:49, 10:11, 11:28

 Here are my splits from when I ran the same route two weeks ago

 9:14, 8:59, 9:14, 8:48, 9:29, 9:00, 9:37, 11:17, 9:37, 11:12

The hills at the end of this route kill me!

It is weird how some of the miles are the exact same pace from last time I did this run!

Off to BYU game and then to the “Taste of Utah” charity event.
