Just one race at a time

Rest day - I ate way too much!

Three very ugly miles on the treadmill.  Half way through had to pick up daughter from a friend never seemed to get into a good pace.

Went out to do a mile loop around my house four times.  It is very hilly and steep both up and down after the first mile I decided that was not fun at all and did the other three on rolling hills

splits: 9:20, 8:46, 8:38, 8:40

The day was so nice I spent the next few hours in the yard and I am heading out with a book right now just to enjoy the sunshine.  I called Kimmy and told her she needed to skip work and enjoy the sun as well. I hope she does.

Tempo run today.  On my schedule it said 35 min tempo run.  I am still not sure what this means.  I know that a tempo run should be faster than your goal race pace.  What I am unsure of is how much of the 35 minutes should be faster and how much faster than race pace should it be. 

This is what I did set the treadmill at 1% incline and 35 min run time.  I started at a 6.0mph pace and every two minuted I would up the pace by one.  When I got to 7.2 mph (8:20 pace) I stayed at this pace for 6 minutes and then did 3 minutes at a 7:0 pace (8:34 my goal race pace)

Was I even close to a "tempo run"?  I should add that 8:30 is my goal race pace at this point I am not sure I could run it further than a 10k.  I am training for a half marathon.

Lifted for abs and legs (very little)

Spin class

3 miles on treadmill 1% incline and 6.5 speed

Lifted for legs and abs

Spin class - The guy next to me is a Ute fan and in my mind I decided that whoever "won" class (worked the hardest) there team would "win" the game.  I must say I won class but I am not sure at what cost.  I really was not sure if I could walk to my car after, but if the cougars win Saturday it was because of me!

Six miles on the ellipticle 11 resistance 44:50

Lifted for arms and abs

Yoga

Nails are painted Blue with Cougar Blue hair extentions in ...I am ready for the game tomorrow!

Legs felt really heavy today.  Ran four mile to the rec. center met up with running group.  Ran the 5k route and the ran four miles home.  I have not looked at my splits yet but I know they will be slow.  I think the spin class on Thursday really took more out of me than I thought.
