Let's do this!

5 miles river trail loop avg pace 7:05. 

Worked out @golds on the eliptical for 45 min. Worked my core before I had to take off- but not as well as I would have liked. Came home and ran the river trail loop 2 times for a total of 7 miles. I felt good running today and my pace felt good. I didn't feel tired at all. Yesterday there was a huge wind and rainstorm. Looks like it did some tree damage on the trail. There was a tree snapped in half and blocking the entrance to the river trail.I had to climb over it twice. 

splits: 8:13 7:46 7:03 7:12 7:30 7:26 7:14

Today, I ran 21 miles  (or 6 times around the river trail loop) in 2 hrs and 45 minutes on the dot. I didn't really push any speed, I just kept it around 7:50 pace. I stopped 2 times, at miles 10 1/2 for some water, grapes and cyto-max. Then again at 13 miles to kiss my boys off to the first day at school and another drink. I know my fitness level is there. I was not winded or overly tired once during the run. It was good for me to do this. My confidence level is up for the Top of Utah. Now I really know what kind of guts I am made of. I think I am on track for at least a 3 hr 25 minute marathon. But I always surprise myself and underestimate my ability.

No running today, just the elipitcal for an hour and 38 minutes. My legs feel okay from yesterdays looong run. But to be frank, it feels like my pelvic floor has been ripped apart  ;)   

I lifted a tiny bit after and worked my core. 

1 hour 45 min on the eliptical. 20 minutes on weights. 10 minutes on core. The gym is a ghost town every Friday. Maybe this is a good thing.

18 mile run tomorrow hopefully with Julie. 

6 tm miles, 45 minutes on the eliptical. A little sore still. I want to RUUUNNNN outside tonight if the weather isn't to bad.

pm run- 3.50 on the river trail
