3rd day in a row with double digit miles - this hasn't happened for me in a LONG time! My legs feel SO much better than they did yesterday, which I was grateful for through the run. Went to spin class at Lehi, there was about a 20-25 minute time period he had us going up a TOUGH hill. Yesterday I ran the beast and today I got to cycle it! Good hard class, even though I felt like I was 1/2 asleep. After spin I went out to find Becca after her tri class, but she was no where to be found :( I had planned on doing 6.2 with her, so I decided to tough it out and do the miles alone on the indoor track (I've still had enough of the TM!). About mile 2 I decided I could probably do 9 miles, because I was doing 3 mile sections then giving myself permission to grab some water so it would only be one more 'group' of miles - easy, cheesy. Well, a few laps later I decided that if I did one cool-down mile afterward I would have 3 days of double digit miles, NICE! So, I went for it. Becca got there when I had 3.5 miles left and she hopped on the stair master (I still don't know how in the world she does that crazy machine!!) and I could taunt her as I ran past every lap :) I know I finished all 10 miles plus water breaks in less than 90 minutes, and the effort felt good as well. So, if I had to guess I'd say I was at an 8:45-8:50 pace for the miles. One reason I love the track (there are MANY why it stinks) is that you pass the same people over and over, and I use them as 'bait' for myself to keep the pace up. I've got to pass them at least once a mile or once every 3 laps etc, then if someone is running faster than me (which didn't happen much today, or if they did it was for maybe a mile or two) I would try to catch them or not let them pass me more than once every few miles. Keeps the brain entertained as you get dizzy from 8 laps/mile!
