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
6.20	6.00	12.20

Warmup up for 10 minutes @ 8:27 pace

6 tempo miles at MP 7:35, 7:30, 7:30, 7:24, 7:24, 7:18

2 mile cooldown @ 8:06 pace

I felt like I could have gone farther and faster with the tempo run and believe me I really wanted to but I also know I will have a chance to in the next few weeks. There is no reason for me to push too hard too soon. That is the mistake I made with SGM. I was peaking in Sept and by Oct I was just plain burnt out and overtrained.

Plus I know I'll be running with a bunch of speed demons Sat so I need to preserve all the energy I can in prepration. :-)

PM: 3 miles easy 8:34 pace, and I got my pushups in.

Saucony Blue Miles: 12.20

great job, rachelle. i've made the "peak to soon" mistake more than once -- it's easy to start pushing yourself when are feeling really fit. finding that perfect balance can be tricky, but you are being really smart about it. your training looks great right now.

looking forward to running with you again on saturday.
