You guessed it- Wasatch loop :) haha. I was thinking about going the longer loop, but it was so dang hot. I did push the pace though, I just didn't wear a watch so idk what that pace was... lol. I need to get a new charger for mine. Maybe I'll order one now.

Wasatch extended loop @ night, a little sketch by the golf course after dark but 'twas a good run. Felt nice in the cooler temps

Today some SUU friends and I held a baby shower for Maddy. They're all also past teammates, lol. It was really good to see all of them. They asked if I was still running and I said no not really. But then I realized I still kind of am, wait what? Didn't realize that was such a complicated question haha, but hey there are differing definitions of running. I'm no longer competitively running. There, that's it. Lol

VA loop, my watch charger finally came so tonight was the first time in a long time I wore it. I was going slower than I thought so I picked it up in the second half. Averaged 7:52.

Last night Olivia texted me and asked if I wanted to run 11 miles, I said heck yeah! So it was me, Olivia, Clara, Ellie, and Lindsey. We did Shriner's to memory grove then took 200 E to 900 S to Liberty Park. Clara got picked up at the bottom of memory grove because she had a work call, and from there we started to spread out. Lindsey and I gapped Ellie and Olivia a bit but we regrouped at Liberty. Our original plan was to call someone to come pick us up at 11 miles, but it was shorter than expected and we decided to run the full way back, which included the dreaded 1300 S hill. 1300 S is where we got separated again, Ellie and I this time leading. We completely lost sight of Olivia and Lindsey so we just went to finish, then found out that they had gotten ahold of Lindsey's roommate and were picked up :) lol

To be completely honest, I have to slow down to run with them, but I like doing so. I miss running with friends :) At the end I found slowing down though was harder than going a normal pace. I kind of felt bad for not keeping the group together, but I still stayed with whoever came with me, whether that was Ellie or Lindsey.

 

I registered for the St. George marathon! Do any experienced marathoners have tips for training? This will be my first time running one. I have just over 2 months to train.

Pipeline from elbow fork to the overlook and back. Added up the canyon a ways. The switchbacks are tough if you do them at mile 1, at mile 12 they're just a hill with seemingly no end. Seriously, get done with one and it sort of flattens out giving you false hope, then comes another hill. It was only my knowledge that there was a good chunk of flat trail between the hills and the road that kept me sane. Haha jk. I may have definitely walked the last of them (oops). 13 miles was my "I'm ready to be done" point. Getting nervous for the upcoming long runs over the next few weeks. I feel really slow, and I am going really slow (9:00 pace), but I'm getting in the miles. Not sure if I should have a goal time for the marathon or not since, to be honest, just finishing it will be an accomplishment. But is under 4 hrs a reasonable goal? I worry that I won't even be able to hit that lol, I'm not in great shape

First ever solo 15 miler

Ran over to the East track and decided to throw in a couple reps. Did 1x800 and 3x400 at 2:55, 84, 84, 83. Then ran home. It was hot and windy, and I had to swing out to lanes 2 or 3 a couple times because of the football team practicing but it was refreshing to do a quick workout

7 with Olivia. Olivia is seriously the kindest, most good-hearted person you'll meet. Much of today's run reminded me of that fact.

I run Wasatch so much, thought it was about time to run the rest of it :) took Foothill to the bike trail and connected to Wasatch on the other side of Parley's canyon. Boy it was windy this morning, especially by parley's. Just did an out and back, though I'd originally planned on going 15 today. I was feeling good so I went out an extra mile. My turnaround point was almost exactly the corner where Wasatch turns down and meets up with 6200 S

I was running at an easy pace- 8:17 average. My half marathon split was 1:47:17. That surprised me. I thought I was going slower
