Ran with a new friend from my ward at church, Lindsey.  She has done a few marathons, but is trying to improve her 5k time right now.  We did a pyramid track workout.  

2 mile Warm Up 

400 M. at 80 sec. - jog

800 M. at 2:56 - 1 lap jog

1600 M. at 6:01 - 1 lap jog

2 mile Cool Down

Total Miles: 8 

I still felt a little flat from my long run on Saturday.  I think the 5 mile tempo made me pretty tired.  I took a two hour nap yesterday after Church.  If I go hard like that again on a Saturday I think I'll wait 'till Tuesday to do tempo work again.

Easy 9 around countryside subdivision.  7:29 ave.

There was a violent hail storm for about 15 minutes last night around 10 p.m.  We still have a big pile of hail in our front walkway from pouring off the roof.  I saw 5 dead birds on the sidewalks this morning.  Poor birdies.  :( 

I'm going to check out a new gym this morning, Ballys.  It is actually closer than City Park Fitness Center where I've been going.  My friend Lindsey said its pretty good and the child care rates are great...only $5/month per kid.  That is unbeatable!

2 mile warm up

4 mile tempo 6:09, 6:23, 6:15, 5:54

2 mile cool down

Felt great!

I decided to join Ballys gym yesterday because its just 10 minutes from my house and I went to check it out and they offered me $30/month including child care.  That price is unbeatable, in fact I've been paying $10 a time for child care and entrance to city park fitness, so it was a no brainer price at Ballys.  It will be good to lift weights a couple of times a week in addition to my pilates reformer at city park.  They offer pilates reformer at Ballys too, but the reformer carriages are just out in the middle of the gym and not in a separate room, so I'm skeptical about the quality of the class...I'll try it out though and see if I like it as much as city park.  I really like the instructor, Trudi at city park.  She is from Boston and has a cool accent...and she is hilarous!

Easy 5 recovery run.  

I had a free session with a personal trainer last night at the gym I just enrolled with, so I took advantage, and she kicked my bum!  It was a great anaerobic workout and I was pretty tired this morning.  Tomorrow I'm going to run 16-18 on my long run...depending on how long the group I am running with goes.

And the long run keeps growing...

Did 16 this morning in Boulder with Runner's Edge of the Rockies again.  I really love running on the Boulder Creek Path (when I'm not dodging cyclists..haha...one guy rode past me RIGHT on the middle line commenting "stay on your side!" as he almost clipped my left arm).  But that guy is not the norm...most people in Boulder are really cool.  The path, besides being just really scenic and peaceful is also shady and cool AND you get to see lots of "interesting" wanderers (for those of you who have been to Boulder, you know what I am talking about).    :)

 Anyway, the run was fun and felt great and I sat in the creek up to my waist for about 20 minutes afterwards (while eating a PB&J sandwich) ohhhhhh yeeeeeeahhhhhhhhh.  

7:30 ave.
