Let's do this!

Ran 7 on the dreadmill. Lame. I hate inside. I was being a wuss this morning. 38 min elliptical. Worked core.

7.5, Okay, so it's Spring now right? I am sick of the chill. Go away old man Winter.

elliptical for 12 minutes.Weights -lats.

I did this all arse backwards today:

Strength training on my legs first. WHY?  I dunno...

Elliptical for 21 minutes.

Drove to the H.S. track and did 12x400's around 90 sec a pop. 30 sec recovery between. Gotta thank Lindsey Dunkley for the track workout plan. If I keep doing this it will get me where I want to be. It was so hard. I started fading around the 9th sprint but I didn't give up, I finished all 12 with the last one all out. I almost puked.

1.25 of cool down jog afterwards.

Strength trained my biceps and triceps a bit. Then 21 minutes on the elliptical, not much and pointless I know.

Came home and ran 5.50 miles. I felt slow and sluggish. I know it was supposed to be a slower recovery run day but I am still so hard on myself when I look at my watch and see an 8 min pace. I need to get over the psychie of it. I couldn't figure out why I had no pick up. Until I stopped to fiddle with my ipod, and I realized my quads were quite sore from the track workout yesterday. duh me.....that's why I was sluggish today. But I still came home feeling like a loser. I would have run at least 2 more miles, but I had a meeting early this morning at my daughters school I had to be too. Maybe some more slower miles this evening. I hope.

10 miles, 7 with Julie, 3 more for me alone with some mild speed on/off's. I had a great morning!

Group run up Provo Canyon trail. Merri and I met up with Allie and Cam. Smashing good time! I

A couple  miles up we ran into Melody who is in great shape for Boston. Also Julie E and Jossee. Somewhere around 4.5 Cam was keeping the pace rolling so I stuck with him and we kinda charged the incline up the canyon. Merri hasn't quite gotten back into the running swing, so Allie and her were just a little ways behind. Merri turned at 5, and Allie caught us shortly after. At 6 were turned around and semi-cruised the downhill.

After doing this today, it has only strengthened my resolve to do these up and backs to prep for UVM and Provo city half's. Cam said he'd join anytime. From now until May 5th and June 9th, I'm going to run up that trail and down as many times as I can.

The bikers on the Provo trail never change, bunch of bossy loud mouths.
