Running For Trevor

30 minutes weights.  biceps, pushups, planks, sit ups

12 miles on the treadmill.  I have today off of work so I decided to take advantage of the extra gym time.  I was also feeling pretty fresh since I took yesterday off of running completely.  I did 5x1 mile repeats.  The goal was sub-7 pace which is my 10k pace goal.

Fast miles were between 6:54-6:58 and slow miles were 8:00-8:06.  I felt really strong which was a great confidence boost.  Overall AP was 7:35.

Whoa I did not want to wake up this morning.  I really wish I had two weeks off of work for the holidays.  It is so hard when I am staying out late playing with my family and then trying to function during the day. ha ha

20 minutes weights

7 treadmill miles.  55 minutes so 7:50ish pace. 

My family went to temple square last night with a bunch of extended family and my Mom accidently slammed our heavy jeep back door on my back.  It was a total accident but dang I am in pain.  I even shed a tear from pain for the first time in like 10 years. I have a very high pain tolerance but it really hurt and I am really hoping the pain goes away with a little ib profin and isn't anything major.

25 minutes weights.  planks, pushups, and worked my chest.

8 miles on the treadmill.  Awesome hill workout today.  I started at 7.4 (8:06) and bumped the last 400 of each mile up to 4-4.5% incline on the treadmill.  I also bumped the speed up one notch with each mile.  Recovery periods were at 1% incline.  Total time was 62 minutes.

just ran 9 miles.  I felt SO sluggish at first and the first mile was like 8:45 pace.  Finally snapped out of my funk and sped up a bit.  I sprinted out the last 400 of each mile at 5k pace to keep things interesting.

Anyone want to do a LR with me over the holiday? 

14 miles on the treadmill.  I had a bad attitude going into this run but it didn't end up being to bad.  first 8 miles were at 8:00 pace 1% incline on the treadmill.  From mile 9-14 I bumped it up a notch each mile finishing with the last 4 miles at goal marathon pace (7:30).  I was tired by the end but I felt strong and in control the entire run.  Final time was 1:49, for a 7:50ish AP.

Did weights for a bit afterwards but was tired from the run so I called it a day.

Ran in Huntington UT where the entire town is only 1 mile. ha ha I had to laugh when I started at the very end of the town and ran all the way to the other end and it was barely 1 mile.  I managed to run up and down some side roads and made a little adventure out of it.  It was a nice little run but man I am sure glad I don't live there and was only there to visit. :)
