7 miles with Sole Sistas. Its been 2 weeks since I've met up with them for a Sat. run so I was scared that I wouldn't be able to keep up! It was tough- but I did it! Great times- makes me wonder what is wrong with me that I EVER skip the chance to run with these awesome women?!
I was glad the rain held out so we could not have to get soaked. Didn't have my Garmin so not sure of pace, but Teresa did tell me we were keeping 8 min. pace on the last mile and I know that's a neg. split for the run so that's fine by me!
Dam to Dam 5 miler next Saturday!

Had a ball at the Dam to Dam 5 miler today. Hadn't run this race for about 3 years. I was worried that it might be raining or snowing but the weather held beautifully. It was sunny and cold! Blue water, red rock & white mountains in the background. I picked up Katrina & Annie- had a ball with these gals. Saw Eschlers and Kim & Tom from Spanish Fork. Tom came in 2nd- congrats! Poor Kim is still having IT issues, but she walked the race like a trooper and is still hoping to complete the Runner's Series and do SGM this year if her leg allows. The shirts were pretty cool from the run, but BIG for a 5'1", flat chested gal...oh well.. Now for the actual RACE report... I knew it wouldn't be fast since I'm only averaging about 10-15 miles a week- but I decided to just do the best I could and have fun. I set my Garmin's virtual partner at 44:00 just to give me some kind of goal. I was happy to finish at 44:09. 5 miles is a good distance I decided. Here's the splits:
1st mile: 8:42, in dirt
2nd mile: 8:53- trying to figure out if I started too fast or too slow???
3rd mile: 9:00 - some uphill
4th mile: 8:52, enjoying this race but also glad its ending soon!
5th mile: 8:36- horray for neg. splits! nice flat finish on top of the dam with GORGEOUS view of Sand Hollow Reservoir

| I rode 8 hilly miles on my bike but it felt equivalent to about a 4 mile easy run. Rode first 2 with Arielle then dropped her off & finished 6 more. Just putting in 4 cross training miles. | |

| Terica's spin class. OUCH- hadn't been to one of her classes in awhile. Forgot how hard they are. She started right off with 20 minutes straight of high resistance hill climbing. I put in 5 crosstrain miles but it was like a very hard- HILLY 5 miles. | |

Weekly walk with my dear prego Heather. So great to visit with her. Love you girl!
Went out for a solo afternoon 4 miler. Around my 'hood, so kinda hilly. 8:58 av. pace. I'm happy to see anything in the 8's these days. It was tough since it was afternoon and I'm shot by then. But so glad I got out. Couldn't resist the beautiful sunny afternoon and chance to run in a t-shirt. | |

| Whoa- long run! Met up with Sole Sisters and not quite sure what their plan was going into it. Ended up on about 12 mile loop. Luckily I felt good- it was an "on day". The first 7 went by quickly then we had to make a pit stop at Shelly's house. It was fun to get a tour of her neighborhood and see her gorgeous house. After we got on the road again I left the crew at about 8.5 miles. I was 2.5 miles from home and they still had over 3 miles of uphill back to the gym. So I ended up with 11 miles which was plenty for me today! Forgot my Garmin (again- duh!) so couldn't tell you pace, but it felt great to know I can still hang with the gals for a long run. Anxious to get into my new shoes though. Steve has ordered me some cute pink Mizuno Wave Rider 12s. | |

Week flew by! Have only worked out once this week! Yikes! No good excuses either. Did get 8 hrs. sleep 2 nights this week which was awesome. Went bowling with a group of friends on Wed. night does that count? (yah..i wish)
I had bought some new mizuno's waverider 12 (or was it 13?) last week. Had ordered them and when they came in they were 1/2 size too big. Went back to Steve at SGRC and ended up trading them in for Saucony ProGrid Triumph 6. They were delightful as I ran around the parking lot. Tomorrow I take them for the first real test drive on a long run with the gals. We'll see how they do! Maybe I'll be really "fresh" tomorrow from basically taking the week off? (I can tell myself that can't I?)

| Overslept & missed long run w/ gals. Found out later only a few showed & they ran about 6. I got in 4.25 later in the morning while Arielle was at HB riding. Beautiful day, 50's & sunny, did a fairly flat loop around Little Valley. 9:00 av pace, was hoping for a little faster, seemed that everytime I looked at Garmin it was 8:30ish? | |
