Interval training-HILLS (on purpose between both parks)

BEAUTIFUL morning. Love this weather.  Feeling great after my third 20 miler (sat). Only did one 20 miler in my training for my first marathon. Looking forward to Ogden.

This started out as a recovery run and ended as a race to get home to drive my daughters carpool.

It was warm, cloudy and looked like rain. I ran straight in to a strong head wind to start out. the first 4.50 miles were hills, wind, and ended with a dead end trail at the top of the bottom of the mountain:) I had to hurry home cause that all took too long. Here are my funny splits for "recovery run."

9:53, 10:10, 10:34, 10:49 (hello! dead end trail I had never been on ), 9:41, 8:21, 8:12, 8:18 (flat).

Splits. Weird run. 10:01, 10, 9:40, 9:04, 8:33, 8:53, 9:37, 8:35.

Went early and didn't feel too great. Headache and body soreness. I took another route I don't usually take that ended with more hills which is unavoidable around here. I guess I should have done speed work today but didn't feel like it. It was a clear, cool, beautiful morning. Not a cloud in the sky. I was heading east for the first few miles of the run and I turned to head west just in time to see the sun touch the snow capped mountains out west. Pretty pink color. Then later at the end of the run I was heading east in time to see the sun touching down on those mountains. Pretty cool. But the best part of my run was that right when I finished around home I saw my best bud LYSA come around the corner. It was so great to see her! We talked for a while before she went to finish her run. She is an amazing woman, sister, daughter, wife, friend, etc. She is a wonderful caregiver to her family members and she is awesome for that and many other reasons. Love you Lys!

JRP @ 6:15am with my husband Jeff. 2nd time ever running on the JRP. We started @ 72nd and went to somewhere in Taylorsville (James M Park?). This run was harder than I thought it was going to be. I know sometimes I complain about the hills around home but I'm always coming down/speeding up the second half of the run because of it. I tried hard to finish strong on this run but it was tough! I'm thinking I'm a little embarrassed that I even mentioned hoping to qualify for Boston in the near future. I'll be happy to get in around 4 hrs @ Ogden which was my goal anyway, but the rules change before St. George I found out so...no Boston anytime soon. Unless someone out there wants to be my coach and whip me into shape before St. George. I feel like I need a food coach and a running coach. Anyone?????:)

My fastest mile was a 9:01. I feel like I should be able to run faster than that at this point but...whatever! Can only do my best!

Favorites parts of this run=

*running with my husband

*seeing Teena Marie running with some tall guy. I almost called her name but thought "what if it's not her!" guess I should have cause I'm like 95 percent sure it was her.

*all the geese but especially the family of geese and the 8 or so fuzzy, baby chicks! so cute. When we came upon them Jeff switched sides to protect me from them cause I'm afraid of being bit (by the scary big ones protecting their little ones right)? I thought that was cute. Thanks honey.

*Awesome weather!!!!

And the all time favorite part of this run...

*A woman pushing her little DOG in a baby stroller. Never seen THAT before. So because I saw this today I have to tell you what I saw last night. I took my two youngest daughters to the playground. There was a woman there who took her DOG ON the playground. She walked the dog up the stairs, through the tube and up to the slide. I stood there with my mouth half open but kept quiet cause my 1 yr old was amazed by this dog. The dog sat right in front of the entrance to the two slides that my kids were trying to go down. She was talking baby talk and giving the dog treats. We were all just staring in disbelief and I was waiting for her to take the dog down the slide but it didn't happen. She walked the dog back the way they came and left. Not sure what that was all about.

I'm so grateful to be able to run at all and will stop complaining about not running faster!
