cholla creek trail - ouch this hurt today! the wind was blowing too and going right through my clothes. so i was planning on 11 or 12 miles today, but i ran too slow and got 10 in. i used it as a recovery run and just did what i could do. by last 2 miles my legs loosened up a little.
taught core fusion and then strength at night. | |

didn't make it to spin cause brother was visiting, but got 8 miles in on the treadmill at night. so glad i did! I had a massage early in the day, and my legs were definitely sore from it. I'm trying to hit over 50 miles this week, so hopefully i do it!
I'm excited to run with the club on thursday and saturday. i need a little push from some fast guys. | |

I ran with the race team today, and it was a great run! Mostly anyways. i knew i might b in trouble cause i hadn't ate lunch until 2 and we left at 5. But it was great push, and running with them made the middle paces feel a little easier.
Well i was going to treat this run like a tempo run, though it was just a recovery run for everyone else:)We gradually sped up, and by mile 4 or 5 we were running in the high 6 s. they started bringing it in at mile 6, and i tried to stay with them. i felt really free and solid that mile (6:08) but then my stomach officially sta having problems, and i couldn't push through it (or find a bathroom). i slowed to 6:26, and then 6:28 for last 2.5 miles. so slower than i wanted it to be that day, but it was great to have the company and people to push me.
I had to train someone and then head to teach zumba after that - i was wiped out. my tummy was still hurting and i had zero energy! a lot of faking it. | |

I got more than 50 miles in this week and i'm totally happy with that! with my crazy schedule that's a huge accomplishmeent. For Utah Valley marathon i'm going to shoot for 60's and 70's when i'm not training so many clients.
K so I'm happy with today's run. Met up with the guys on the race team, and amber and ran 20 miles. 10 easy pace and 10 tempo (well 9 then i jogged the last one in). we averaged 7:30 on the first 10, then 6:40 on the next half. It's been so great running with the guys and amber cause they keep a great pace. we lost them when they sped up of course, but amber kept me going. I was surprised how solid i felt the whole time - now that i know the course i'd like to push it even harder next time, but i was really happy about our pace. It never felt too hard, and was good for me mentally. by mile 19 i could feel it in my gluteal region ( a few hills on this), and it started to feel a little stiffer. we pushed in with a 6:20 something on the last mile. Anyways, I'm feeling ready for my first marathon of the year!
halfway in i started to feel that spot on my abs, but as long as i focused on not leaning back,especially downhills, it didn't get worse. it's sore today, but i'll massage and ice and hopefully it's fine. if i can make 20, i can make 26.
I had some gatorade and 2 gels on this run - though i could've used more.
