Running!

10 in the morning, 4 in the evening.  Both felt good.

10 in the morning with fartlek, 3 sets of 1 min on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off, 3 on, 2 off.

4 in the evening and 4 miles biking in the afternoon, which I'm counting as 1 mile.

7 in the morning on Shoreline, and 3 in the evening.

Ten mile run in the morning.

Hike in the afternoon, I don't know the exact mileage, but we were hiking for about 3 hours without a lot of stopping up through Albion Basin!  It was lovely. 

So after my big day yesterday, I had some trouble today.  We did firemen today and I had to wimp out because I was sore and started hyperventilating a bit.  It was kind of scary, and I need to learn to control better.  

I was certainly feeling my week of high mileage!

I did a 2 mile warm up and a 5 mile cooldown.  Then I went on about a 1 1/2 hour hike to get in those last few miles!

10 miles in the wee hours and some biking in the evening after we arrived in Jackson.  Tomorrow we go up! 

Actually 5 miles backpacking!

Actual mileage, although I think the effort was worth more than that.  We bagged the South Teton and then backpacked out Garnett Canyon.

10 miles biking

7.5 miles running 

16 miles biking

2 miles hiking

4 miles running

I love vacations! 

First 18 miler ever!  And it felt pretty good.  We ran all around Jackson yesterday and couldn't find Gu, so instead I used "Ginsting" before the run and around mile 11.  We had planned to plant water for me at miles 6, 11, 15, and 17, but we miscommunicated on the spot and I only got my water at mile 6.  But it was ok.  The Ginsting stuff was very helpful (also it may have helped that there was a conveniently located port-a-potty at mile 11).  I did it long and slow, which was great, and it was along a relatively flat bike path.  

Short hike in the evening. 

10 in the morning 

4 in the evening 

9 in the morning at Liberty.  1 800 @ 3:02, 1 mile @ 6:28, and 1 more 800 @ 2:57.  

4 in the evening 

11 in the morning on Pipeline (Scott and I did an extra mile)

I set the course record (we started that this year, unless Bill was just kidding)!  It was a pretty fun race, and I like the alumni course (shorter!)  It was also fun to watch all of the XC runners.    

Oh yeah!  First 20 miler ever!  It went pretty well, and I went with RJ.  We went up to the drinking fountain at Shriners, then around City Creek and up South Temple.  Then over to Sugarhouse, up 33rd for a while, and back.  I took a Ginsting 14 miles in.  I might like them better than Gus?  I'm going to try a Gu or two next week.  I got pretty hungry during the run, so I'll need to figure out what to do about that.  Maybe a big bowl of cereal in the morning.

 My pace was exactly the same as my 18 mile last week. 

7 in the morning

9 in the heat of the afternoon- it was so hot.

Also I don't normally blog about extraneous things, but it was my first day of college today! 

4 in the morning

10 at night

5 in the morning

8 at night 

4 in the morning and 6 at night.  In the middle of both runs, I got really really hungry!  It was horrible.  So the obvious solution is to eat more.  This evening I had peanut butter on toast and about 4 glasses of milk.  

Back and forth along the Rail Trail with Jeremy.  I felt pretty good, I tried a couple of Gus and think the Blueberry Pomegranate Roctane was probably the best (Mint Chocolate being a close second and Cliff Bar Citrus coming in last- not my favorite tasting one, but it did do well for my energy).  Last 20 miler before the marathon! 

8 in the morning
