30 min ellitpical and weights at gym. 

8 miles running up canyon road and back down.Breathtaking views. Major wind on the uphill forced me slower. After I turned around, I was able to cruise the downhill. I think running up and down hills makes for a stronger/quicker runner.

I took a cool down walk around my block. I was a spitting fool. Merri, I spit in front of your house a time or two. Hope you don't mind! ha ha

50 min ellitpical, then 7 miles on the river trail loop. Here I sit 4 hours later and I'm wondering what the hell was I thinking doing that much cardio today. Pshhaw!

I am evil. If I see people up ahead on the trail, I speed up and pass them. It's kind of a game in my head for me. Speed work in disguise? My last mile, I saw 2 neighbors up ahead and it was Merri's hubby and their next door neighbor Larry. Yeah, I passed them too. See, it's a game to me! I'm crazay!

Today was a speed work day. 8 miles on the tm -sprint intervals. 7:52 pace to a 6:18 pace. Got to 4 miles in 27:15, 5 miles in 33:07, 8 miles in 53:45. Lily be nimble, Lily be quick, Lily kick booty and run faster than you lick.  Durrr I'm silly. I am loving the 10k training schedule  Bonnie sent me. I already see and feel improvements in both body and mind. 10k and 5k training is more about speed + some endurance. And that is what I like.

So my 3 brothers are running the Spanish Fork Speedy Spaniard this year on July 25th. Well of course I run that race each year. Don't worry, I'll blow all 3 of them out of the water. Even my bro that can sprint super fast. He has no endurance for 6 miles. ha ha. GOING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!! Chicked by yo sister!

I feel silly for counting my 1.5 measly miles. I wasn't even going to run today. Just a recovery, and it actually turned into that anyway. 

Elliptical hell for 50 minutes and I talked to much while doing so.

Boring.

Hello Long run!! I love long runs! Besides speed, endurance is my next fav thing about running. It can be hard and I really like to take on hard things.

Ran with Merri out in the west fields 12 miles. Kind of scary, we were intimidated by dogs 3 times. One dog was a full sized rotweiler that came running and wasn't chained. Scary. Can you say time to get a crack torch sized pepper spray? They don't believe in chaining or fencing their dogs out there in BFE.

Good run, great convo's. I totally love my runs with Merri. We are two pea's in a pod. Goes by quick!
