I run therefore, I am!

Went to the Oval today and ran 6 miles total. I did a 1 mile warm up and then 9x400 with a minute rest in between. 1)1.21 2)1.18 3)1.15 4)1.16 5)1.16 6)1.17 7)1.15 8)1.15 9)1.18  I then did a cool down with Kimberly. We were the only ones there at first and then we were bombarded with skaters and people walk/running the track. I felt good doing these and only planned on doing 8. I rested 3 full minutes after and felt like running 4 more when I hit a 1.18 and felt like crap. So I didnt push it. 

Brrrr what a cold morning.  I met with the BBks this morning and we first warmed up if thats what you want to call it because I was freezing my baguettes off! We then did a couple of half mile tempo's and then got into a decent pace and ran to a hill and did some hill repeats. Then did a couple mile cool down. Im not going to lie to you, it was windy, sleet was involved, and I battled satan! Ok thats my entry.

Went down to 98th South and the park trail and ran 9 miles with Misty and Danielle. I feel a little congested....hopefully nothing more will come of this. Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavement? 

I went up to Daybreak and ran 9 by myself while Misty and Charity ran together. It took me 1:05 which is a 7:30 pace. I gave myself a good hill variation run. It seemed like a lot or maybe Im tired who knows.  My throat is raw right now. I hope I dont get strep. My daughter came up negative yesterday which is a good sign.

Picked up James and went up to Weber college and did a warmup with Jon and Cody.  It was around 23 degrees according to my car and I forgot my hat and gloves. The race started fine, we were in a group and then James took a good lead and I stuck behind Cody and Tim. I think I was about 8th then.  I was breathing extremely hard and found it difficult to relax. I made it to the 3rd mile just behind Cody and Tim. Every little hill we hit I found myself drifting back. That frustrated me, but I wanted to see how Cody would run up mile 5 hill "the bastard" I saw Tim starting to drift from him a bit but didnt think Id even catch him. It got real steep and I started getting closer to Tim and he was having a hard time up it and I passed him. I could hear him on my heals and managed to stay ahead. I saw another runner who I started to catch on the hill also and as soon as it hit the top he flew down the back part and I couldnt catch him. We then got some sunshine which felt like an angel pissing on me. It was awesome. Im not into that sort of weird stuff  by the way. Just to clear that up. We then did a cool down on the route to make a total of 14+miles.
