In The Long Run

This was just awful.  I felt terrible and sluggish. So glad this one is over. Now on to yoga for some much needed relaxation.

Easy Liberty Park run with Nate. Felt much better than yesterday.  Now I must summon my willpower to resist eating mass quantities of chocolate and caramel. The neighbor kids were selling candy bars and Nate bought 10. 

Core work with the TRX. Want to do more of this once Ogden is over.

SLCTC group run on the JRP.  Ran 6 miles at goal marathon pace.  It didn't feel as easy as I had hoped, but I haven't tapered much yet.  Everything from here on out is pretty short though. I have one final "long run" (10-12) on Saturday, a short dress rehearsal (2 X 1 mile at goal pace) next week and the rest will be easy 3-5 mile runs.  At this point, I guess the hay is in the barn. 

AM: Core work with TRX.  I'm not always good about blogging my lifting and core work, but I try to fit in in 1-2 times/week. No more lifting until after Ogden, though. 

PM: Easy Liberty Park run with the pup.  Had 2 cat sightings tonight which is always an adventure when you have a hound dog attached to your waist!

Signed up for the North Face Endurance Challenge 50K in San Francisco in December.  I absolutely love these trails (even though they kick my butt) and I really look forward to a weekend in the Bay Area.   

Had a really nice run with the SLCTC this morning. Gorgeous weather and great company. Met a bunch of bloggers for brunch at Ruth's Diner. Good food and great company. Capped it all off with a tough yoga class followed by fro yo at Top It.  Great day!
