Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

.Today needed to be a tempo day due to starting another work week on Thursday and needing to move up my long run to Friday. I can't wait for June to roll around when I will only have to work one weekend a month in addition to other weekdays. Come on June!

Today's workout was just okay. I felt much more tired than usual. I'm usually more of a slacker on the weekends with my diet and sleep. Saturday's long run wore me out too. It didn't help that I stayed up late playing Words with Friends with Burt. He's such a cheater.

4 mile tempo @ 6:46, 6:44, 6;40, 6:30 ( 60 sec. water stop after first mile)

1 mile cd

HRmax @ <95% (98 bpm@ 30secs)

My HR indicates my fatigue pretty accurately. I should start wearing my monitor again to dictate my workouts/paces. My max usually sits on the high end for women my age. In college I was maxing at 215 when it should have been around 195. Maybe I'll be one of those people who collapses at a marathon finish line from a heart attack. Hopefully that's the case when I'm 99.

5:00 AM- 16 miles (7:30 AP) with last 5 miles close to mp (6:49, 6:49, 6:44, 6:40, 6:30). I realized this was similar to Monday's tempo workout, except this time I ran a 10 mile warm up and ran an extra mile tempo. I also felt a ton better today than Monday. Small aches...left knee was bothersome from mile 2, then my left arch started to act up from 5 on. Also, my left toe feels like it is going to fall off.  Nothing too big of a deal. Record time getting showered and ready in 15 mins before work!
