Watched the Ironman Wirld Championship 

5 miles before kids left for school—MCT to pioneer house.

TT:  51:42. AP:  9:50 HR:  173. This felt hard.  I was huffing and puffing.  

Got kids off to school.  Picked up Kelli and drove to Antelope Island to do the 25k loop.  The weather was amazing and I was very over dressed.  I felt discouraged about this run.  I walked all the uphills and my legs felt SO heavy.  This run was 45 minutes slower than when I did it in January of 2015.  I’m not sure if I need to gut it out more or if my legs are just tired. Time to spend more miles on the trails.  100 might just do me in.

TT:  4:32:17. AP:  14:20. Elevation :  2168. HR:  154

TT: 26:01 AP: 8:58 HR:  167–Mailla Elementary out n back

Feeling depressed about yesterday’s run, I tried to push the pace today.  My heart rate was going crazy high, but I felt better about my fitness.  Grateful to have made it through another run.
