Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences. I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn. I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
2.00	8.20	10.20

15 minutes working shoulders.

10.2 miles with 8.2 at a sustained tempo pace. First of all not that this matters to anyone but me but I 100% anticipated doing this workout outside this morning. The treadmill makes tempo runs very easy to plug in the pace and go to town and I wanted to see if I was capable of controlling the pace on my own. But I woke up to 25mph gusting winds in Payson and I am just not that hardcore to attempt a tempo workout in those conditions. Those of you that nail all of your workouts outside no matter what are truly hardcore!

Warmed up on the treadmill 1.4 mile @8:34 pace. Switched treadmills and gradually worked into a comfortable 7:30 pace. kept it there for the first half and then gradually increased the speed every 10 minutes. Finished with 8.2 miles in 60 minutes - 7:20 pace. Quick cooldown of .6mi @8:34 pace. A good solid workout that definitely helped boost my confidence after Saturdays epic fail!

It was only slightly windy here. I made it through somehow though. So what's Saturday? And you are welcome to come run with me any morning girl. We would have fun together and challenge each other. anytime! :)

Really good bounce back workout. You are super fit, Rachelle, don't let one bad mile during a 20 mile run put a dent in your confidence!

Next week it will start being light outside until like 730pm - you can try switching some of your workouts to outside at that point. Even doing some of the shorter reps on the track would be a good change.

But I think you made the right call today - it was super windy this morning - that's why I just did my tempo last night - I didn't want to deal with the wind today. Cold is one thing, wind is just annoying.

I would hardly say that your workout on Saturday was an epic fail! Maybe a little dramatic? :o)

Great workout today...I don't blame you for staying indoors for it b/c of the wind. Maybe later this week will be better for some outside running! You think the pup could keep up with you on repeat 400s??

Haha I am not dramatic at all Andrea! :) Nothing a little fro-yo couldn't fix.

The pup is part of my problem with the PM workouts. I spend more time wrestling her than I do running. I may have to find me a pup sitter so I can get some more quality afternoon workouts in. Yesterday she scared the entire Salem Hills Track team off of the track and chased a poor little kid inside the school into the locker room. ugh! Being a dog Mom is hard!

Thanks for the positive feedback guys!
