Running for an audience of One

run around the river with excitment - transformer box blew right before me, had to back up from flying/sparking wires. The couple running in front of me were right under when they went swinging - CRAZY - 4 different "booms" all is well! 

Beautiful warm early morning run with Alana

So windy this morning- went out later, 10am & it was already 65 degrees! Crazy felt good

Running in the wind again - getting stronger - going longer

Met up with Alana for an early morning run outside. It was good for me to 'chase' her - pushed my pace. I didn't wear a watch, but after hearing her splits, I think I averaged about an 8:45 pace. At this point, that is good for me running my fifth day in a row. Whew - so grateful for no injuries and running healthy, tired, but healthy. I feel yoga 5-7 times a week has really helped strengthen. 

Girls & I met up with Rex @ Skyline so we could do speed work on the track. I warmed up with a mile. Then did 6 - 800's @ a 7:38 pace ---- with 400 recovery inbetween, finishing up with a few laps to cool down - I pushed myself today & it felt amazing!!!!!!!!

Ran with Alana & Gama - in rain & wind- itcwas glorious! Pused on way back, 8:08, 8:05,8:03 with a total ap of 8:30...estimate off Gama 's watch! Left shin is sore, epsome salt bath & deep blue rub on now, excited to run 13 in the morning with rex

Windy day - tough run, healthy!

Wind&hillsi in Twin Falls

Early morning with Alana - then track & field with girls all da in Pocatello!

Speed work out @ track with Rex. Tough to pace, but we are embracing the challenge! Speed avereage (5/1000's) was 7:29 with 400 recoveries in between - happy to be running in the sunshine!

Went out to run8.... Shins were hurting - bad enough I had to walk last quarter in - friday will be full day @ Lagoon

Rex & I have been married 17 years today!! Great run with overall pace of 9:13.... Definatly a negative split for the day - happy girl!

Tired legs, negative split, really felt my right knee pull the last quarter, not sure what that's about! Now off to teach last Sunday school class fir the summer

@ Skyline track for speed work out. warmed up for a mile, ran 4 1200's with 400 jog inbetween. Average speed pace was 7:47 (really kept 7:44 the entire time except the last lap I was completly out of steam and water :( So wonderful to do these work out's with Rex and the girls are great to hang and play about! 

8:44 pace feeling great!

Tempo run before school with Rex how wonderful to be running with him, kisses inbetween as we pass

9:02 pace early morning prior to driving to Montana for weekend get a way

Two out on highway in Missoula from hotel, turned into mountains following Rex for a good 4 miles of hills, then the two back - breathtaking morning!! 9:05 pace

Quads were sore from yesterdays hike....82 degrees & sat in car for 5 hours - felt good to shake it out

Strength warmed up for a mile @9:19 pace (6.5 on TM) then put TM @ 8:32 pace (7.0) for a mile. Back to 9:19 pace for a quarter mile then 5 more miles @ faster pace with quarter mile slower pace. Then cool down at the slower pace! Felt strong the entire time, but already for rest day tomorrow!

Ran early tempo run @8:48!!! So cool to keep the consistent pace the entire run. I may be getting the hang/feel for maintaining certain paces - that's nice

Whew! Only took two 6oz water bottles. Mistake. Left house @ 8 with Rex - ran out past scoccer complex to run the rollers west of town. 9:22 pace ice bath and am loving the Vega refull drink followed by a high protein shake! Miss my girls....another week of school - looking forward to summer!
