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
8.60	4.00	12.60

AM #1: First workout post Boston. I totally psyched myself out and was really nervous for this workout for some reason. I guess 10+ days of running slow will do that to you. I have decided that about 90% of my running issues or self doubt are mental because physically I am in better shape than I have ever been. Anyway the workout went really well. I warmed up for 2 miles and then did a 3 mile tempo 7:03, 6:50, 6:41. 1 mile rest and then 1 mile at 5K pace 6:19. 2.5 mile cooldown. I felt pretty good and was not planning to run the tempo portion quite that quick but it felt fluid so I just went with it.

AM #2: Me and my sister won free entries to the Color Me RAD 5k held at UVU. I did not wear a garmin but it definitely did not feel like a full 5k. Anyway we went really slow, maybe 10+ minute miles and had a ton of fun! I will have to post pictures we were totally covered.

AM #3: Chasing my 4 neices and nephews that are all 2 years old around all day. Seriously how do you people with kids do it? I think I will be asleep by 6pm tonight. :)

Jeez 3 morning workouts but no PM workouts? SLACKER!! :-)

Great workout - I think that was a really smart move to do the tempo first and then the fast mile. Great splits on the tempo, and awesome finish on the fast mile. Really awesome running today!

Sub-20 is going down soon!

So you feel pretty good post-marathon? No more fatigue or residual soreness?

Jake - I almost had to inject myself with an IV of diet coke just to drive home. And I thought the #1 workout would be the hardest part of my day? haha

Andrea - no physical soreness at all. I was actually pretty shocked with how natural moving my legs fast felt. I was expecting it to be a lot harder. I still feel like my energy is lower than normal but it could just be from chasing my brothers triplets around all day! And yes sub-20 must happen!!

Fantastic workout! You better do that 5k next week!

You burned a lot of calories today.

Way to go!

I have 4 kids. The two youngest are older than two, but they make me work just as hard like I was watching after four! I am a dead zombie by 7 pm every night! :)

Very smart running today. I think you're right about that 90% mental thing.
