11 miles

1 mile at 8:00

8 miles at 7:29

2 cooldown miles at 10:00

** Wasn't planning on running so hard but felt good that first mile and decided to push! Fonz and a couple other were there so once I started I couldn't quit! :)

Off to study!!!! Can hardly wait for Spring Break next week. Too bad I am picking up some extra shifts at work. It'll still be GREAT though!!!!

Alarm went off at 5:15 ... after a wonderful night of Miss Sugar barking I decided to hit the snooze button promising myself that I would just hit it once. Alarm went off again. True to myself I dragged my tired tush out of bed. One glance in the mirror was all it took to see how hammered I looked. Back to bed I went!!! :)

It is now close to 14.5 hours later and I am biking (obviously not very hard). If I feel up to it I will do a little elliptical as well. I am so lazy today!!!!

PM:

30 minutes upright bike

30 minutes elliptical

Hillwork today!!! I think sleeping in yesterday helped me this morning! :)

10 miles @ 7:57 then one cooldown mile

The plan was to do one warmup mile then see how long I could hold marathon pace with 5 miles of hillwork in the middle. I knew this would be tough, but wanted to see if I had it in me. Decided I better run at the gym so that I would have an added incentive not to quit.

0.0 - 1.0  warmup, 0% incline: 8:34 pace

2.0 - 3.0   0%  incline: 8:00 pace

3.0 - 3.7   3% incline: 8:00 pace

4.7 - 5.0    6% incline: 8:00 pace

5.0 - 6.4    1% incline: 8:00 pace

6.4 - 6.8    4% incline: 8:00 pace

6.8 - 7.4    1% incline: 8:00 pace

7.4 - 8.0     6% incline: 8:00 pace (This was SO HARD.)

8.0 - 9.0     0% incline: 8:00 pace 

9.0 - 10.0   0% incline: 6:59 pace (YES -- SO HAPPY!!!!)

10.0 - 11.0  cooldown

*** I am very happy with this run. It was hard for me, but I was happy with the results!

4 recovery miles

18 miles AP 7:48 :)

Was sad that I was not able to meet up with the flyers in Provo this morning. We have a million things going on today and I didn't feel right about leaving Ry to get them all done. Still more to do. The upside is that it encouraged me to get the run done so that I could get home to help. Felt awesome the first 15.5 miles and then had an Andy moment (saw spots and felt a little light-headed). That only lasted about 10 minutes and then things got better again. :) I definitely feel that I am running better than I ever have. (Knock on wood.)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!! :)
