My legs were not ready for running this morning. I took too much out of them yesterday. However, I went to meet the BBK's for a hill run knowing what my Friday looked like and needing the miles this week. Started out nice and slow, definitely a Kenyan this morning! 3 mile warm up then a marathon tempo run up 9800S 3.5 miles - 2 almost 800's at 10K pace at the top - 1/2 marathon tempo back. I didn't hit any of my paces, except I was proud of myself for pushing the 800's and keeping them at or below 7:30's the whole time (that WAS a push this morning!) Got home showered and rushed out the door to meet my sister at Snowbird. We and our kids took the tram to the top then did a 5 mile hike down, I of course had my 25 pound baby water and food on my back! Well, okay he's 2, but he's still my baby. Then we rode the chair lift up to the tunnel walked through, let the kids play in the snow rode down. Dinner and swimming wrapped up the evening and I didn't get home until 11:00! I was so tired I didn't even unpack it all, I just plopped in bed! AP: 9:03 splits: 9:58, 9:35, 9:20, 10:04, 9:44, 9:31, 8:19, 8:09, 8:12, 8:07, 8:01 (last .5) In the run I finally started feeling good about mile 5.5, which is completley evident from my splits. Plus it helps that the last 4 splits were all downhill :) The quad didn't like the downhill hiking too much, but survived nicely - well, better than I expected after the first mile.
