It's a RUNderful life

1.5 with Gan then mixed weights 1. Later went aqua-jogging for about a half hour

High mileage today with 7 miles of it at "easy" pace. Which ended up being about 7:30-7:40 per mile. Whole run averaged about 7:55 pace including a really slow mile wu and a super slow cd plus it included the "kicker".  Felt pretty good until the last couple miles... then my feet and knees were pretty much done. 

Speed en la mañana and finished up en la tarde.

Had a workout... I think it might have been like six 400s at mile pace? But idek remember. All I remember was that my last set was DANG good.

double dip loop with 5 of the 7 miles at easy pace. Mostly lonely run but ya know what that's okay once in awhile

Second (and probably last) indoor meet of the season at the ice oval today. Overall it was a pretty good race for how my legs were feelin; I actually PR'd by only like two seconds, but hey, a PR is a PR. Raced in the second heat and ended up finishing third in the heat. There were some girls in my heat who said they were planning on running a 5:15 but no one in my heat even came close which I thought was strange. I think the first or second lap was a little slower than it should have been. I was happy with my kick and I think that's where those two seconds feel off. After Guppy and I finished a 7 mile cd (IMHO it was about 5 miles too long lol). We had a good talk and suffered together haha. Also Great job to everyone who raced, especially Chris who ran ALL FOUR events!! Like holy cow

Well... technically I had nine miles today, but only seven of those miles actually came to pass due to the fact that those nine miles had to be before 8:00am which is rough when you didn't got to bed until 12:30 the night before... anyway did the "extended pumpkin patch loop" with Guppy and it was wet and dark for 90% of our run but ya know what? It wasn't even bad.

Low mileage and speed today. Did the two-mile workout: nine 400s with 2:30 rest in between and then two 100s all out at the end. Good workout hit 87 every time except for the last one was an 81. 

I actually don't have much recollection of this run... but it was a good-paced run, just a little slower than easy pace at about 8:05-8:10 ap

Run felt nice and short today. Mostly ran with Gups and Libby (shoutout for her for joining the squad the past couple days!) not sure on the exact pace, probably about 8:15 ap. 

Also my dad wants me to put in that he ran 10 "miles" this morning (more like 10 minutes lol)

Today was technically low mileage again, but as you can see it ended up being quite a bit more. Since lots of the crew is away at Simplot those of us who stayed back had a "somewhat difficult" workout. By somewhat difficult i actually mean quite hard. especially cuz I have a killer head cold that made breathing a bit rough haha. The workout was three sets of 90 second pickups in the gulley with the jog down as rest and like a minute of extra rest inbetween sets. And it just so happens that 90 seconds happened to be going all the way up the hill for me. The first set was up the north(ish) side of the gulley, the second set up the west(ish) side (just as bad...), and the third set was up the north side again. Wasn't feeling great today so times were a little rough, but I tried my best and finished the whole workout so that's a win. Afterwards I jogged back with some of the girls and coach (who is awesome for even running at all!) At the beginning of practice I was alittle worried that it would be a lonely day since all of the usual squad was gone, but it actually ended up being kind of good to talk to and run with some of the other girls.

But really HUGE shoutout to all those who ran at Simplot! Way to kill it so far! 

Well unfortunately i'm still quite under the weather, but considering i didn't run yesterday and tomorrow is Sunday I decided that I'd better get a run in... no matter what haha. Thank goodness it was only low. Just did an out and back in Highland and although my pace was super slow I'm glad i got it done. Also some other unfortunate news is that I think it's time for my supernova's to be retired. They probably have close to a thousand miles on them which is A LOT.
