| To quote my good friend Winne the Pooh,
"Hum dum dum ditty dum
Hum dum dee
Oh the wind is lashing lustily
And the trees are thrashing thrustily
And the leaves are rustling gustily
So it's rather safe to say
That it seems that it may turn out to be
It feels that it will undoubtedly
It looks like a rather blustery day, today
It sounds that it may turn out to be
Feels that it will undoubtedly
Looks like a rather blustery day"
It was a rather blustery day to say the least. 20+ mph winds always make for a hard run. Emily and I pushed it pretty good when we had those strong head winds (7:30 pace going uphill into the wind isn't half bad!). Overall, we averaged 7:09 pace for 13 miles. We were REALLY tired by the end of it. We thought about Allie running 26.2 miles today and were grateful it was her and not us. Allie is one tough chick!
I decided to run the Salt Lake Half in April. Time to start getting serious about trainning again. I think I'll start doing some tempo/speed again next week.
BTW, Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss (tomorrow). I miss you.

| I felt pretty good this morning so I decided to do a little tempo. I ran my favorite hilly 8 mile course with 3 miles added on. I gradually increased my tempo pace and didn't want to push too hard. Just get comfortable. 6:44, 6:32, 6:30, 6:26, 6:30. Not too fast but it felt really comfortable and I wasn't dying at the end. 7:00 AP.
Legs, core and arms when I got home.

| Track workout at Murray High. I thought I'd take the new track for a test run. My mom watched Weston so I was able to run at 9:30 which was awesome!
I thought I'd copy Emily's track workout that she did on Monday. I think it was just enough speed to get things moving and I didn't feel completely trashed afterwards. Thanks Em for the workout idea! 1xmile, 2x800, 4x400 (400 recovery jog between the miles and 1:00 between the 400's.)
Mile-5:45
800's- 2:50, 2:49
400's- :80, :80, :78, :78
I'm pretty excited about this workout. I haven't run this fast since college. I wore my new racing flats and I think that helped too. 3 mile warm up and 3 mile cool down. It's always fun to run around town with racing flats on your hands (because I warmed up/cooled down in my trainers).

15 miles on my favorite long run route. What a beautiful day! Allie, I wore a sports bra and shorts! Yahoo! I decided to sleep in and run at 10:00 which helped. I felt good but it was weird running solo. I've run with Emily almost every Saturday since last summer. But it was nice to have some alone time to solve all the world's problems in my head. 7:05 AP.

| Missed my morning run so I ended up running at 1:00. It was nice and warm...but kinda windy. I felt really good today. I tried pushing it up all the hills and into the wind. 6:58 AP.

| 6 miles with a 3 mile tempo thrown in there for fun (6:30, 6:22, 6:10). My legs felt really tired from my PT exercises that I did yesterday.

| Windy again today. What's with all the Saturday runs being windy? Today felt hard. I ran up to Holladay Blvd and just ran north until I hit Parlesy then I turned around and came home. Kinda boring. 7:20 AP.

| 11 miles around Holladay. It was nice and warm this morning. A little windy (once again). I have a friend who works for Asics and she sent me the prototype for the Nimbus 17 so I ran in them this morning...wow, get ready for a great shoe come next spring! It's significantly lighter and has more cushion. Overall, a great shoe! 7:16 AP.

| 10 miles around Murray and through Murray Park. It was SO hard getting out of bed knowing it was 32 degrees outside...and dark...and I was tired. But I forced myself out and I'm glad I did because I had a great run. 7:05 AP.

| Track workout with Allie at Murray High. I didn't know what I wanted to run so we kind of made it up as we went. The first 2 mile repeats involved dodging high school students...Always fun.
3xmile (6:00, 5:53, 5:49)
2x800 (2:49, 2:52)
2x400 (77, 77)
2 mile warm up and 2.5 mile cool down. Beautiful day! :)

| 11 miles with a tempo thrown in. I ran up Highland Drive into Sandy, down Creek Road and home along 900 East. The first 3 miles are uphill (with a steep mile on 3) then 4 miles slight downhill and the last 4 miles are pretty flat with the last mile being uphill again.
My splits: 7:45, 7:45, 7:50, 7:03, 7:06, 6:55, 6:30, 6:31, 6:23, 6:10, 6:28.

| 10 mile fartlek run this morning. I did 2 sets of 5-4-3-2-1 (2 minute recovery jog between the 5-4 and 1 minute between the 3-2-1) That last set we pretty hard but it felt good to push myself past my comfort level. Beautiful weather this morning!

| Long run with Devra and Allie along the new Salt Lake Half course. It's going to be an interesting race with some good uphills, steep downhills and a few long gradual uphills in the middle. 7:15 AP
