When I was in 6th grade I filled out a Getting to Know You sheet. Under nicknames I wrote, "My brothers call me Boo Legs, I think its because I run fast." (It really came from the movie, Strange Brew) And its been my family nickname ever since. Favorite Blogs: |

| My goal for this race was between a 1:32-33. #nailedit.
I felt good. I love this course and this race. Beautiful weather, the sun isn't beating down yet because of an early start, and the course is great. I was pleased with how this turned out. I felt like I maintained a hard effort the whole time without getting out of control. I stayed in the mile I was in and took it a little bit at a time. I do better at holding it together in halfs than I do marathons.
Here are my splits- 6:54, 7:04, 6:56, 6:43, 6:41, 6:37, 6:47, 6:48, 7:24, 7:17, 7:12, 7:09, 7:01, 1:00. I managed to run an extra amount again. Apparently I'm a drunk runner. My watch has an average time of 6:57 but since I'm swervy McGee in races, my recorded race average time is 7:03 min/mi.
I really like this race. Here's hoping I'm on track for a 3:15 in St. George....

| 2 mile warm up. .25 mile hill repeats x6. Repeats were 1:40, 1:38, 1:38, 1:39, 1:38, 1:35. 2 mile cool down. I was pleased with how this workout turned out. I did this same hill repeat workout (except x5) about a month ago and I was about a second faster per repeat this time around. My legs are still tired from the half on Tuesday.

| Holy wind Batman! The goal was 7 marathon pace miles (7:25). The wind tossed me like a ping pong ball and made for 7 miles at 7:30 average. I had to skip the cool down to get to work on time. | | Add Comment |

| 1 mile warm up. 8 marathon pace miles. Goal was 7:25. Reality with 4 shifts this week, warmer temps, and some wind came to 7:28. Eh, you win some you lose some. |

| I really tried to get in 20 miles but my dang body is tired and I had time constraints. I wish the little people would let me sit on my duff all weekend.... |

| 1.5 mile warm up to Alta High. 800x7 around the track with 400 recovery jogs. 1.5 mile run home. 800s were 3:10, 3:11, 3:12, 3:12, 3:14, 3:11, 3:09. I was pleased with how this went. I felt good amd I feel like my speed workouts are getting "easier". Just wish I was a little more consistent with my paces. | | Add Comment |

| Well that was pretty rough. I think life and marathon training has caught up to me. For some reason I think I can be a single/working mom during the week (my husband is working and going to school at night.) and not have it affect my training. Needless to say, my body is physically and mentally tired. |
