Every Run is a Great Run!

Back to our dark & drizzly mornings after a few days of reprieve last week.  But on the sunny side of things Kim and I made it into St. George - woohoo! Had a great day yesterday with lots of family over for a Mother's Day celebration and feast, and best of all got to spend about 90 minutes talking to our son Tyler in Denmark. So the week is starting out dandy despite the rain!

Ran just shy of 4 miles with Kim then ran some hills while she went to coach her WannaRunna ladies. Had pretty good pep today, much better than Saturday. Still not sure what the deal was. Finished last mile in around 7 min.

8:17/157

Seven miles with Kim on a cloudy but pleasant morning.  Ran down by ballparks along the river trail to check out the flooding situation. Already starting to encroach on some of the yards of the homes close by. I'm afraid it will only get worse the next few weeks. 

Kinda groggy today.  Last night heard about some very negative behavior from someone in the neighborhood and it bothered me during the night and made for some restlessness.

Had planned later to go to the gym for a little XT and core but I forgot my gym bag at home so guess I'll bag it or maybe tomorrow.  Probably get more out of a long nap anyways.

Ran 10 this morning, 5 with Kim including a 1/2 dozen strides then 5 more solo. Later went to the gym for 30 min XT and some core work.

8:37/158

Nice easy recovery run with Kim in the morning as we scoped out the 5K course for her WannaRunna5K beginner race next week. Later went to the gym for 30 min XT + core.

Ran just under 5 on a clear but windy morning. Later did 30 min XT at the gym.

8:17/157

Nice long run on a nice day, albeit a bit windy as usual.  Ran with the SF group and then some solo.  Finally ended up over in Salem to cheer Kim with her 5K-that-ended-up-being-3.5K race.   She did real well despite being shorted a mile. Course had a few rolling hills and with the wind and warmer temps made it not the fastest for racing.  Need to start adding in some warmer temp miles to get used to the summer temps soon to come our way.  We're too used to 35-45 degrees in the dark.

Managed to get in 3 MP miles during the last part of the run.  With my current fitness level and based on what my HR monitor tells me, I'm counting anything in the 7:00-7:40 range as MP.
