I run therefore, I am!

Went to the Olympic Oval and ran a warm up with Danielle, Misty and Charity. 1.5 miles warmup. I then did a 5,4,3,2,1 workout. I ran a slow marathon pace for the first 5 minutes with 3 minute rest slowly running, then gradually sped up on 4 minutes with 2:30 minute slower running. 3 minutes a bit quicker then marathon pace, 2 minute rest of slow running. 2 minutes hard 10k pace. 1:30 minute rest then 1 minute hard as hades around 5k pace. Then did a 1 mile cool down.  

Ran with the BBK group this morning. It brought a whole new meaning to the groups name Bingham ButtKickers! We did some hill tempo repeats and my legs were not recovered from yesterday. I am sore! It was difficult to do but Ive got to get my hill running legs to work! I made a total of 10.25 miles

Went down to 98th and the parktrail to do some running. I ran with Danielle, and Misty. I ended up with 9 on my belt. Well I really didnt have a belt on. I guess I should say on my stretchy pants.

Ran with the BBK group and tried keeping up with them. I was afraid of doing too many speed workouts this week so I held back and then decided to do one mile of hard tempo work.  I have Del Sol Relay tomorrow so if my blackberry doesnt work on getting my miles logged in then Ill have to wait to report the rest of my wicked boring life later. 

I am the 12th runner on the team and I ran

1 mile warmup with misty and 1 mile alone. Then I did the first leg in the dusk till dark. 60 degrees and a slight breeze. Nice conditions. I averaged 7 miles with a 548 pace. 5of the miles were on loose sandy terrain and I couldn't get myself to move. When I hit the highway I felt like I could fly.

I ran 3 miles with misty at 3 AM I was startled by a snake. I then ran my second leg of 7.8 miles. Just after one mile to go I made a wrong turn and went .6 out and back to make my run an even 9.  I lost us some time but my average pace for this run was 5:38.  It was a gradual downhill that helped me push my pace better.

My last leg I ran 1.5 with Misty and then ran my 3.9 leg at a 5:35 pace in 82 degree weather. It was extremely difficult to run on pavement. It was real Balmy. It was a very fun and exhausting race. The course was changed quite a bit from last year and had alot more trail in it.
