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:)

Both of my Garmins are dead as of today. My 305 died after Ogden and my old timer died this morning. Also worthy of noting, my hair just looks silly today. My hot curlers also gave up the ghost as I got ready for work this morning. A lot to take in today!

8 miles on Davis. I didn't lope as much as usual today since I tried to run down a couple that looked to be going a decent pace. Unfortunatly, they only went out a couple miles before turning around. If I run Garmin-less, I need to find a way to make a game out of it. At least my early effort to catch them made some of the time pass.  Aprox.7:40's AP with the last mile at ~6:30's, downhill.

Garmin 305 now works. Tender mercy.

6:00am- Beautiful morning! I ran down Main this morning without much of a plan. I didn't feel like any speed work so I just picked up the pace slightly after the first mile for 4 miles, then easy up the hill home. 7:18ap. 

Came home to get ready for work and found a Gatorade recovery drink in the fridge. What? A day of tender mercies!

2 mile hike/walk after dinner with family and pup. We walked up to the kids school to let them play on the playground for a while. Favorite family summer activity. Wish we could have this weather year round!

8 miles up and down Bountiful pushing my jogging stroller. Decided to "run" errands rather than drive. Stopped for a little DI action. Quite the line, looks like I picked the prime time! 

Photo: Anxiously awaiting in line at the DI. LOL!

I had speed work planned this morning, so the kids and I did a little warm-up to celebrate the last day of school. We literally laughed our heads off for 45 minutes as we "Pracercised" around the house and yard. Getting ready for the last day of school seemed over rated. My favorite is the Pracercise gallop near the end. "Cut the noose and let loose!"

After I dropped off the kids at school, I pushed the jogging stroller (yes, there was a kid in it) for a hilly 3 miles. Then to the TM for a little speed work. Since signing up for a couple 5k's, I decided to do a little speed so I 'm not tasting pennies, come race day.

Some Pracercise action combine with 5.5 hours of interrupted sleep and two delicious chocolate cupcakes for breakfast, meant that good things were in store!

I eased into the speed with a progressive mile...

1 X 1600 @ 7:07.

2(400, 800, 1600) >3 min rest/jog. Each respective split was @ 1:20 (5:20), 2:51 (5:42) and 6:07.

I used the pace calculator for 5k training to determine paces. The 800's were much harder than the 400 and 1600 for some reason. Sweated bullets!
