Running Accomplishments:

I started running in 2008 while I was a stay-at-home-mom. I discovered this blog in July 2010 and followed the advice from the blog to gradually improve my distance/speed. I achieved various PR's in 2010/2011. I went back to work part-time in 2012-2015 and switched to mostly running trail runs. When I got prego with my third child in 2016, I stopped running and started work full-time. After a 7 year hiatus, I returned to running in 2022. I have alot of work to do to get back in shape, but looking forward to the challenge!

6.5 miles at 6:15 am. I'm trying to prepare for the 5K on Thursday. I figure tomorrow I need to rest or run easy so today was my last day to work on speed.

First 6 miles - there are 9 hills on this route (some short and steep, some long and gradual) and I tried to run them all 8:15 or better.

mile 1- 9:45

mile 2- 9:08

mile 3- 8:30

mile 4- 8:20

mile 5- 8:36

mile 6- 8:23

Then I just did some speed stuff .... First I ran .35 miles at 7:30 pace.

When I got to my street, I pushed the "lap" button on my garmin and I sprinted from the stop sign to my house, which is about the length of a football field... then I jogged back and did it again... and then again.

Sprint 1 390 feet at 6:00 pace

Sprint 2 390 feet at 5:27 pace

Sprint 3 390 feet at 5:24 pace

-Note: Around mile 5, my left knee cap started bugging me. When I started sprinting, I didn't notice it anymore.
