I run therefore, I am!

I had a good rest on saturday night. I slept in and got 9 hours of sleep. This morning I only got 6. I need to try to stay in the 7-8 range if I can. I went to the park trail at 98th and ran with Danielle while Misty and Charity ran together. I put in 8 miles total and didnt feel good on the last 2 miles. I felt sick and my legs were stiff from Saturdays run. Id like to try and do some speed workout tonight if I can. I will see.

This evening I went to a spin class and then did 2-10 minute tempo runs on the treadmill with a 5 minute rest in between. The first tempo run I did the first 5 minutes at a 6 min./mile pace. Then did the other 5 minutes in  a 5:42/mile pace. After the 5 minute break I did the first 5 min. with a 5:27 pace. the second 5 minutes was at a 5:12 pace. Then I did a five minute cool down. It ended up being 4 miles.

I ran with the BBK group this morning. We did hill kills after a 4 mile warmup. So my computer decided it didn't like me anymore so I get to put my 10 mile run in on my phone.

I went to Daybreak and ran with Danielle, while Misty and Charity ran together.  I was extremely fatigued and my heart had some pains in it. I ended up doing 7 and it felt a lot longer.

I went down to the South Jordan Park and did 3--5k tempo runs with the BBK group. We did our first one as a warmup and then I did a 6:15 pace for the 2nd 5k and a 5:56 pace for the 3rd 5k. It was constantly raining on us. Yes Im soaked! I was hoping to run a 5:45 pace on the third 5k but couldnt manage it. I probably  had 5 extra pounds of water I was carrying. I did a cool down which was more like a hose down.

I went down to the 700 W. and around 90th south entrance to the River Park Trail and ran with Danielle, Misty and Charity. I was extremely fatigued and 7 miles was a good recovery run from yesterdays Tempo. I ran into an old neighbor from when I lived up by Brighton High School back in the 80's. His name is John Vyke and hopefully he reads this so he can correct my spelling of his name and then he can get on this blog to log his miles. hint hint I gave him the website so we will see. 

I went up to Daybreak at 5 am this morning so I could make it to the Easter Egg hunt at Gene Fullmers at 9.  I ran with Danielle, While Misty ran by herself.  I went 9 miles with her at a bout an 8:30 minute mile pace.  Then I ran the last 11 miles by myself slowly increasing my pace to a 6:50 pace. It rained on us at the start and quit. Im glad I could get that in
