I can do it. I will do it NINE times!

I was so freaked out for today's run after last night's email, but it turns out that Coach made a mistake and wrote 7-6-7 for our paces when that's what the BOYS were doing. We did 8-7-8 and that was awesome. 

So, we warmed up out and around the temple and back easy at avg. 8:10/mi pace (4.2 miles), then took a minute breather at the track. Then we did a 7:00/mi pace push section on the time-trial course for 30 minutes total (4.25). The push section went really well and we ended up being under 7:00 pace for all of the miles: 6:59, 6:59, 6:56, 6:47 and 1:43 for .25.  After another little breather, we cooled down out to the space lab and back a bit slow, avg. 8:20/mi pace, but ok (2.85). Tired out now. It was a good workout! (GT 172.5)

Relaxing morning run up the canyon on the river trail. Comfortable and excellent. Avg. 7:50/mi. (GT 180.1)

Awesome o-possum workout today! We did 6x800m grass loops and they were amazing. First 3, GP was 3:00, then 2:45-50 for the second set of three. The first set just cruised in and was easy: 3:00, 2:59, 2:55. Second set was a bit tougher, but still felt good and times were great: 2:45, 2:43, 2:43. Loved this workout lots and lots. And I love having a fast team! It's so fun to run with girls all the time and to have people faster than me to make me want to be even better. Yay college! (GT 183.5) (DD spike 64.7)

Tired and sore, but a good relaxing easy run.  Went on a new-ish route around on the canyon road. Avg. 8:02/mi. Weights after the run were hard - we did double the circuit. I'm gonna be super super sore tomorrow! (GT 191)

Legs are sore today. But the run was good and fun with the team. We ran out on the canal trail a ways and back with a couple of push sections thrown in. This dog kept running with us and would not stop for 15 minutes or so, it was way funny, at least once I realized it wasn't going to bite me! Fun team run. (GT 197.2)

First off, I'm an idiot. Somehow I thought that 100 minutes was 2 hours and would be about 16-17 miles. Yeah... and I'm supposed to be good at math. Hmmm. Anyway, I now know that 120 minutes is 2 hours. Hopefully coach won't be mad that I ran a bit extra.

Jon, Cody and Paul picked me up and we met up with some of Jon's work people and drove up to the start line of the TOU marathon course and ran down Blacksmith Fork canyon. The first bit was pretty cold, but it warmed up and was comfy by the end. It was definitely a fun run with the guys. I love going along with fast people, they make it feel so easy! Thanks guys for an awesome run and for slowing down enough that I could keep up. And thanks to Jon's work for supplying breakfast afterwards. Also, I'm glad that both my lungs are still intact, though I think I was pretty close to coughing one up a couple times.... Avg. 7:09/mi. (GT 214.2)

(I don't really know if these miles should count as 'fast' or 'slow' because they weren't meant  to be fast, but lots of them were as fast as Monday's tempo section. I'll just stick them in as slow miles since they were supposed to be slow, long-run miles.)
