12 miles with Shelbey! Ry ran the first 4 with us but has been getting over a cold so called it good at that point.

A little drizzle but nothing heavy. Temps actually felt pretty dang good! Bloomington Trail then Summit loop. LOVE running with Shelbey! She signed up for her first marathon on May 7th! I really think she could BQ on her first full! Crazy how easy running comes to her. She was a collegiate soccer player so totally makes sense! She is freaking amazing.

Everything felt nice and easy. Ran our first half really easy with an average pace of 8:50 (just grabbed the whole time felt really good). Ran the second half faster at an 8:17 pace, but still felt really comfortable. Conversation never waned and we threw in a couple of marathon paced miles still gabbing away! NICE!

Got home, hopped on the TM for one more mile because I wanted 13 today. Need to hit 39+ miles this week. Wanted 35 last week and barely hit it. I have run marathons on as little as peaking at 36 miles per week, and as high as an 83 miles per week peak. I think this time around I will shoot towards something in the middle, 60 miles per week peak sounds pretty okay to me. We will see! :-)

7 miles, AP 7:50 (including warm up mile) with Shelbey this evening. It was chilly, but not as chilly as it is up north!! :-)

8:39 (warm up), 7:46, 7:50, 7:42, 7:44, 7:35, 7:39

Love running with Shelbey. The goal was an 8:12 pace (her desired MP for her first marathon). We beat that by a long shot! She is AMAZING!!!

Funny story: I have this patient that cracks me up!!! He has worked crazy hard and ready for discharge. Upon reviewing everything for self management he asks for another one of my cards. I say, "Sure." I go to grab it and he asks, "Don't you want to know why I need another one?" I say, "Absolutely." His response (which had me rolling): "I hung the first business card you gave me in the bathroom stalls at the Beaver gas station! I wrote: 'For a mediocre time call . . ." OH MY . . . I couldn't stop laughing! I love people with a sense of humor like that!!!

4.5 miles

SO GLAD IT IS FRIDAY!

14 miles (13.3 with Shelbey, AP 8:29  and .7 by myself later in the afternoon just because I wanted 14). Smo had a game in Kanab at 9 which meant we had to run early. Shelbey freaking rules and met me at the trail head at 4:45 a.m. I just LOVE her! Ran both Bloomington and Virgin Trail loops. This was Shelbey's longest run to date. She rocked it!
