Sandra is down in St George having fun in the sun so I got to go it alone this morning. It was nice to do a longer loop and not have to do 2 smaller ones that I've been doing over and over lately. Rose Crest loop down Juniper Crest. A hill climb up for 3 miles, straight down nose dive for a mile then a gradual 3 mile climb back home. AP: 8:51 which for this run is EXCELLENT for me. I know it's snail pace for many of you, but it shows me that my hills are getting stronger - slowly, but surely. AP: 8:51 splits: 9:39 (ha! It took a while to warm up), 8:28, 8:19 (this mile a guy turned a corner in front of me and it was my goal to catch him by the end of the street. Yeah, I scared the crap out of him when I flew by because he had music on. Good times!), 9:08 (keeping this up those hills makes me happy!), 7:54 (downhill, I used it as a rest, so no push), 8:27, 9:25, 9:29 (uphill and just about DEAD, so happy to see it under 9:30!), 8:51 (I love finishing on my AP). The run honestly was hard for me, just tired and little motivation. However, I feel tons better now and am glad I was able to pull a good run out. Got kiddos off to school then hit the gym for Strike class. It was good, but I think I'm getting stronger, because it wasn't nearly as tiring as it was last week - thank goodness! We will see how sore I am tomorrow.
