In The Long Run

Long run around town with my husband.  This was pretty tough because the first half was all uphill.  The downhill finish was nice, though. Overall I felt sluggish and the pace was really slow (just over 10 min miles). After the run did pushups and planks.

Lunch time spin class.  Good instructor, tough class.

Ran to Liberty Park, did 2 loops, ran home.  No watch, conversation pace.

SLCTC group run.  Forgot my garmin and missed a turn, so I'm guessing on distance (it's usually about 5).

Liberty Park.

Spin class for 1 hour. This was a bizarre class with a "love song" theme. The instructor did a lot of "hovering" today and I'm not a fan. I've read mixed things regarding the safety of the move and it's not something I would ever do on a road bike while riding on the road, so I skipped those parts. I didn't work very hard today, have a 10k race tomorrow.

2 mile warmup. SLCTC Winter Series 10k. 1 mile cooldown.

Based on my 5k two weeks ago, I was hoping to run around 52 minutes today. Realistically, I figured that I would be around 52:30, but still under 53 even if I felt not so great. Ha ha.  I struggled from the start.  I went out slowly and my breathing was very labored. I hit the mile in 8:30, the 2 mile in 17, but I was struggling to keep that pace.  Each mile got worse from there and after 4 miles I stopped trying to push.  Finished in 55 something. Very disappointed, I know I'm in better shape than that.  I hope the 15k in 2 weeks goes better.
