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:)

PT exercises for 40 mins with hip and ab focus. 3 sets if each to failure. I've gone too long without doing these and they were harder than they should be. I really think doing these regularly will be the key to stay injury free for me. 2 mile warmup on treadmill.

Mid-day run today. I can't remember the last time I ran in the middle of the day but I felt great. I had to push my son in the stroller so I was definitely pushing harder. Garmin died in themiddle. I wasn't planning a tempo but since the weather was nice and I had a bit of a challenge to make it home before the kids got out of school, I went with it. 1 mile warm up follwed by a progressive run. Had to go by feel for this but effort was around 7:00 AP but with stops, hills and stroller was probably in reality 7:30 AP. One cross guard yelled at me for walking with her across the street. Apparently I was supposed to wait till she was in the middle of the street stopping all traffic before I proceeded. I have a lot to learn. Next time Ill just go on the other side of the street and dodge traffic while laughing like usually do. That might be frowned on with a baby in stroller. So I kindly thanked her for the reminder and pressed on. Last two miles were around 6:20 AP effort. Just beforegetting home I saw an injured dog in a gutter which tried to walk but clearly had a broken hip/ hind legs. Pulled out phone and called animal control. They acted like I was over reacting. Huh. Good run overall.

7:00AM- Great group run this morning.  I only knew Kam and Mark P, but Mark brought with him a 16 passenger van full of runners from SLC, so lots of new faces! At 32 degrees and 95% humidity, we braved the cold, snow, slush and fog for a 12ish mile loop from Rocket park, down to Davis Blvd and somehow looped up to Bountiful Blvd. The two mile climb at half way had me panting like a puppy. I'm positive I could have walked faster. The climb had to range from 10-15%. It was challenging. I couldn't see who was ahead of behind me because the fog was so thick! I need to do more hills like that, but I would really need to be forced into it again. Kept a good pace throughout. Gotta love the pack mentality!
