In The Long Run

Easy run with the hubby on the JRP.  I signed up for the Triple Trail Challenge (Jupiter Peak Steeplechase, Park City Half, Mid Mountain Marathon) today.  I'm such a sucker for a fleece jacket!  

SLCTC Speed workout.  5 people came out tonight.  The workout was 6 x 600m with 200m walk/jog recovery.  I had no expectations regarding pace, I just tried to stay in control. Hit 2:40, 2:42, 2:39, 2:37, 2:36, 2:36.  Recovery was very slow.  This was my first track workout since last July, and I feel it's a nice start towards getting where I want to be.  I need to work on getting the recoveries shorter, but I think that will happen as my fitness improves.   

Met Andrea for 3 loops of Sugarhouse Park.  This was a really enjoyable run.  Nate and Bourbon (our hound dog) tagged along, too.  

SLCTC Group Run.  Only 5 people showed up for a snowy run.  I ran 3 loops of Sugarhouse Park.  I really wanted to quit after 2. Now I'm freezing and trying to get warm!

Ran on the JRP with Stacy.  Legs felt great after a much-needed day off yesterday. February was my most consistent training in months and I'm looking forward to ramping it up some more.

Met Bruce and Stacy at Highland High for a nice 5.3 loop around the neighborhoods (9:20 pace).  Then drove to Sandy for the SLCTC Breakfast Run.  Ran a hilly 6.5 there (9:04 pace).  The break in between was just enough to make my legs tighten up and feel like lead. I was surprised at my pace given how bad I felt.  Then we had a yummy breakfast of pumpkin pancakes, cheesy hash brown casserole, bacon, eggs, coffee, oj, and other goodies before heading home. I love breakfast runs!
