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.  If you want to know more check out my blog: www.runningfortrevor.blogspot.com

25 minutes weights.  worked triceps and then did my pushups/planks

I had a big workout planned for today and I was nervous.  My legs were sore from lunges yesterday and I just wasn't sure if I could pull it off.  The plan was a 5 mile tempo run at sub-7 pace. (goal 10k pace)

Warm up was 1 mile at 8:12 pace and then I went right into the workout.  I started out a little slow with the first mile at 7:03 and then I bumped it up a notch for each mile after that.  Mile 2 was 6:58, mile 3 6:53, mile 4 6:53, mile 5 6:48.  2 mile cooldown at 8:20 pace.

I did end up dropping the incline all the way down to 0% on the treadmill by the last 2 miles at tempo but I still got through the workout and never stopped so I am calling it a success.

Okay so I was planning to head up north to run tomorrow but it is looking like it may not happen.  If anyone is interested in running 13-15 miles with me in Utah County in the morning please let me know.

DITTO the above. SUCCESS FOR SURE!!! Yesterday at PG rec while waiting for a TM I saw two friends of mine doing a circuit workout class around the TMs. They immediately yelled for me to join them. I said "NO WAY. I need to run 17 miles tomorrow. I won't be able to move tomorrow if I do all those lunges!!!" They laughed at me. I seriously can NOT move after lunges. I stopped doing them years ago. Wimpy huh? : D so VERY IMRPESSIVE GIRL!!!!

If you can do 5 miles at your goal 10k pace, you can probably set your sights a little faster. Just 3-4 miles at 10k pace is tough! Don't underestimate your abilities! Great workout.
