10 miles again. Legs are feeling better. I was able to bust out a 7:20 AP! Boom! My first mile was 8:35. This old lady is taking a long time to warm up these days. 

Jake sighting #2. I had to use the bathroom so I made a pit stop in a bush at a church (#heavenlypee) and when I emerged from said bush, I saw Jake (or his clone, who can really tell these days) riding by on his bike. I yelled...I screamed...but alas, it was all in vain. He didn't hear me. My heart ached for a moment, but I told myself to chin up and continue on. So that is what I did...because I am a fighter.

10 miles with Rebekah so we were speedy. 7:05 AP. Our first mile was a 7:50 and the rest were right at 7:00 or below. We even knocked out a couple 6:45's. I am not feeling fast these days. This was pretty uncomfortable for me.

20 miler with Rebekah up BC trail, Wasatch, back down, then I added 2 laps around my neighborhood for 20. I felt good. My last mile was a 6:43. I'm going to back off a little on my mileage for next week.

8 miles with Rebekah. This is our last run for a while because she is having surgery on Wednesday. We ran a lot of hills (she lives off Wasatch and 3300 South.) My plantar is not happy.

Hot and humid this morning. I almost canceled my workout plans because I hate the heat. But I decided to just tough it out (it's good training right?). 2 mile warm up. 

3x3 mile (3 minute rest/jog between)

(6:38, 6:20, 6:15)- 19:15
(6:20, 6:12, 6:09)- 18:44
(6:24, 6:21, 6:10)- 18:55

Half mile cool down because I was short on time and had to get home to get my kids ready for school. I'm happy with this workout although I wish I could have pushed it harder that last set. I can't believe I only have two and a half weeks of hard training left before I start tapering for SG. I don't think I'll really taper until two weeks out so I really have three and a half weeks.

20 miles with some speedy girls up North. Jasmine, Alyssa, Katie, Emily, Janea and Cynthia. We ran 16 at a comfortable pace and then pushed the last 4. Honestly, I kinda died the last two miles of the tempo. I am not feeling strong. Really tried. 7:12 AP

10 miles and it sucked. I don't feel good. It was hard to run each step.
