Let's do this!

5 miles out around town. 

4 miles. Not supposed to be running (letting my PF heal). But I feel fatty patty from Christmas and just needed to get out and do something more intense than elliptical. :) I supposed I should go back to healing....grrr

9 miles on the trails in Provo Canyon- BST

6 miles on the dreadmill, fast pace.

4 miles on the tready in 30 minutes. 15 minutes elliptical.

7.5 on the treadmill. Steady pace. Strength training afterwards.

progression run from 1-3.5 miles. Then 10x90 sec sprints at  6:25 pace. Not super fast but I feel it will help me build some cardio strength and endurance. 8 miles total.

Very slow

7.75 legs are sore

8 miles on the dirty dreadmill. Speed intervaling for 3.5 miles. Hoping this gets my vo2 up!

3 more miles running up on the trails near Spanish Fork Canyon. I think it as more than 3 miles, but I forgot to turn on my watch. I will just log what I know for sure here. Hot and sweaty time out there though.

No running today. My feet felt kind of flared up so I elliptical hell'ed my life away for an hour and 8 minutes.

8 miles. A 5 miler outside on the Trail  and horse corner. Tempo style. Trying to hover around a 7:15 or less. Just testing my legs out. 3 miles 30 minutes later on the dreadmill 8:10 pace.  The little jaunts of speed work I do once or twice a week seem to be helping a bit. 

4 miles of sprinintg was all

7.25 on the treadmill with pick ups.

3.56 on the Cross trails in S.F. Canyon

9 miles on the river trail 7:48 avg

7 miles on my river trail loop (twice around). Not sure of my avg pace yet, need to upload my watch to strava first. Can't believe that just 4 weeks ago I was walk/running intervals to try to gain back fitness. And now I am smooth gliding 7 milers. So thankful.

7 miles dreadmill w/ sprints

 6 miles on the dreadmill.  Weights

8 miles Spanish Fork river trail. Feeling slow today. Days like this ruin my running morale.

1.5 more with my daugher Maile

9 miles. 7 by myself on the trail. 2 more with my daughter.

6 miles

2 mile w/u. 4 mile tempo 7 min pace.

Ran 12 on the river trail. I can get through all the way up to canyon view park now. Yahoo. Easy pace

Speed work. It's getting eaiser and I only do it once a week b/c I don't want to see or nurse another injury  :-)

Bennie creek trail run was so fun. Got home and ran 3.5 more on the river trail.

Tempo run. 2 mile w/u then 4 mile tempo 6:50 pace. This made me sweat like niagra falls. Sick.

6 mile progression. Then I did hill sprints on the tready x6. But I didn't count that mileage in. Somehow I don't feel like it counts. But it totally kicked my butt doing them!

7 miles river trail

7 miles river trail. My leg had a weird pain flare up last week. I took of Tues-Friday andI think everything is feeling much better now. Gotta be careful nowadays

I wasn't sure if I would actually show up and race this. My right leg has been hurting for about 3 weeks, and I had stopped training about 3 weeks prior. But I am sick of losing money the last few years for races I can't show up to. And my leg was feeling better so I thought I would show up. daughter was running the mile anyway and I love to run her in the last half mile so I went.

This is my slowest 5k time I think. Makes sense with a lack of training and running this last year. But still pleased that I can get my legs turning over. Splits were 6:36 6:30 6:50 Good enough for 2nd overall female today. I know I am not as fast and agile as I used to be, but getting that back will take time. But with the injury cycle I keep finding myself in, I may never get back there which makes me sad. As I got in the car to go home, I looked at my medal and I am poitive I was given the wrong medal and award. 

My daugheter who is 9 ran the mile and finshed first female. She cruised in at about a 6:56 pace. So so awesome for a 9 yeard old. She is pretty driven. I love it!

4 miles on the river trail. I feel like I am starting over again. I am so mad.

4 on the river trail. Avg pace 7:28

3 miles running round Spanish Fork this morning. I love the cooler weather :)

I never log miles anymore. But guess what? I am still out there running every week. Saturday is now turning into my 'long run" day. ha! 5 miles is nothing to brag over. But I figure in order to keep myself out of the injury pit, I am going to have to do the slowest mileage build up of all time. So each Saturday I add a half a mile and that is all I add in any week. By the time Spring gets here I will be so ready for a marathon. I will get there again. I know I will.

5 miles avg pace 7:55

4 miles today. Hurt my hip up hobble creek 2 weeks ago. Had to take a break to get it feeling better. Thankful it is!took it slow today, but it was still fun!
