Went with Jenny.  48 min / 13.11 avg pace

It's really hard to get back into the routine after being on vacation. It was a tough run and slow going.

Today seemed even harder to get going than yesterday.  Was up way too late and not recovered from the traveling yet.

Went with Jenny and started out with a 10 minute walk just to wake up but then the running felt good and we did a good route.

I went with Leslie to do a trail run up Millcreek Canyon.  It was great!!  It was beautiful and pretty flat for the most part.  I felt much better today and ran most of the time without stopping.  The scenery was beautiful and it was a great change of pace.

Met with desiree and Jenny this morning in the Willowcreek area.  It was fun to run a different route.  It was pretty chilly to start out.  I'm sad to start having to wear a jacket to start out the morning.  We're heading for a 16 miler tomorrow morning - yikes!!!

WE DID IT!!!!

We did the 16 miler this morning and for me it went great!!  I went with Desiree and Jenny.  when we started out it was dark and cold.  Had a long sleeve shirt but just for the first mile and then took it off to my sleeveless running shirt.

We did the  Wasatch Route and then added on the Porter Rockwell trail and The Draper Canal Trail and then ended up running on the Bangerter Parkway and part way out the frontage road and then back to the Harmon's that is right there by the freeway. 

I felt really good and could have kept going and probably should have but we were having my dad pick us up and had already told him where to meet us.

Details are:  3:21 time / 12:27 avg pace

This time we did a 5 min run/ 1 min walk interval and I think that was the key for me feeling so much better and like I could keep going.  I think that is going to be my plan for the marathon.
