Getting back to it

Went for a very fun run this morning with my hubby!   Haven't been with him since Memorial Day - I guess he's a holiday runner!

We went out in a narrow window of good weather - it wasn't raining and looked nice outside.  We did one of the usual routes - uphill the 1st half and then downhill and flat the 2nd half.  With about 10-20 min left to go it started to rain and then hail.  So we cut the run a little short and sprinted home and were soaked by the time we got home.  It was a lot of fun but I was glad we were only running in the rain for the last little bit.

Finally got back to Muscle Up at the Rec Center.  Jenny and Cynthia went too.  It felt good to work out again.  Went pretty light to ease back into it.  It was great to stretch my sore muscles.

Came home and wanted to do a little running so I went on the treadmill for a short 20 minute speed/interval work - IT WAS HARD and I'm sweating like crazy now.  I need to do that several times a week.

We had a good fast run (for us) this morning.  Desiree is almost always the pace setter and this morning we kept up with her.  We even managed to talk for most of the run.  We made our plans for the marathon - yea!!

Stats: 4.86 miles / 54.59 / 12:15 avg pace

Just did muscle up today.

Just Jenny and I did the miles this morning.  We did half walking - half running.  We're both pretty sore from muscle up yesterday.  And didn't want to do too much just before our longest run ever tomorrow - 22 miles!!!!!

OUR LAST BIG LONG RUN!!  For our training for TOU Marathon.

We had planned to do between 20-22 but ran out of time (had to be at a baptism at 10:00).  We were going to start at 5:15 but didn't get started until 5:25.  We did our usual Wasatch Route.  Our friends, Erica and Ann, did SAG for us again. That was great.  We also appreciate all the support from friends who are with us in spirit.

Stats: 3:42:49 / 12:14 avg pace on a 5/1 ratio.

We felt like we were going pretty fast ( for us) but we were behind our pace from the previous week.  It was a bummer to not finish our route but we all felt like we could.
