| 10 miles around Idaho Falls. I always enjoy running somewhere new. I felt really good so I kept the pace as close to 7:00 as possible. 7:05 AP.

| I had planned a fartlek run this morning but my legs felt tired and I just wasn't up for it. Tomorrow my youngest boy starts preschool so I'll have about two hours with NO kids. So I'll do my speedwork tomorrow when the sun is up and I'm a little bit more awake. 7:25 AP.

| The original goal today was 3 miles, 2 miles, 1 mile. BUT...the wind and heat decided to suck the energy right out of me. So I ended up doing 3 miles, 2x1 mile. I ran my usual tempo loop around my neighborhood.
3 miles: 6:09, 6:09, 6:15- 18:35
1 mile: 6:22 (into the wind and uphill) Blah!
1 mile: 6:06
I try not to make the weather an excuse, but it really sucked today. 80+ degrees and wind are hard to run a good workout in. I felt like I was running Des News!

| 10 miles up Highland, along Creek Rd, back on 900 East. I ran the first 5 miles at a relaxed pace and then picked it up for the last 5. My mile splits were between 6:30-6:42. So not quite a tempo but quickerish. 7:08 AP.

| 16 miles with Mrs. Moore. We ran up the Big Cottonwood Trail to Wasatch and then back down. We hit a few 6:30's on the way down with our last mile being a 6:29. I'm really going to miss that girl when she moves to Georgia in a couple weeks...7:07 AP.

| 8 miles around Murray/Wheeler Farm. My legs were fatigued from yesterday's long run. I usually take a day off after my long run but didn't. Wheeler Farm makes me happy. 7:10 AP.

| Track Tuesday. It didn't rain on me which was good, but my legs felt like jello. My splits were slower than I wanted. But I was able to push through it and get some good turn over. I think that effort can sometimes be just as important as hitting fast times. And this workout was hard for me. I think Sunday's long run up and down the canyon beat my legs up more than I realized.
2x1600, 1x1200, 2x800, 1x400 (400 meter recovery jog, 1 minute after last 800)
5:49, 5:52, 4:28 (oh boy), 2:53, 2:53, :82
Not horribly fast but it was challenging. I'm proud of myself for pushing through it. I'm going to run easy the rest of the week.

I'm thinking about running the LA Marathon in March. Has anyone else run it? Thoughts?

| 18 miles with Emily. We started at Murray Park and ran over to 4500 South and up 500 East to Allie's old stomping grounds (Liberty Park). Then we ran back on 700 East to 2100 South, looped around Sugarhouse Park and back to 4500 South on Highland. Poor Emily fell at mile 15 and got a bloody knee/hands. She shook it off like Taylor Swift and kept running. She is awesome! We both had stomach issues but our legs felt good and we kept a fast pace. 7:02 AP.

| 6 mile tempo this morning. I ran at 9:45 so it was a little warm (again). About 80 degrees. But I'm not complaining! It's great sleeping in a couple days a week.
I didn't want to stress too much about pace today. Just wanted to see what my body wanted to do. My race next weekend isn't for a PR so I just want to stay in "good" shape until I start training for LA.
6:15, 6:09, 6:08, 6:20 (hill), 6:15, 6:14. Not super fast but I felt pretty good.

| 18 miles with my awesome running buddy Emily. We ran east from Murray Park to Murray Holladay Blvd. Only 1 potty stop (it was a miracle for the both of us!) 7:07 AP.

| Track workout at Murray High with all the hormonal pubescent teenagers in gym class. There were 3 classes out on the track/field this morning. Luckily, my old gym teacher was there and recognized me and told the kids to stay out of lane 1. Sweet!
6x800- 2:44, 2:48, 2:46, 2:48, 2:48, 2:46
I was kinda all over the place and couldn't really keep pace. But I'm happy with how fast I was able to do them. I got some good turnover which I hope will help for Saturday's race. Although I'm not planning on really racing...just going to give it a "good" effort.

| 6 miles around Murray. My legs feel tired and slow. I didn't push it today. I think I might take a little break after my race on Saturday. I need to reboot. 7:30 AP.

Chosen Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:24:45, Place overall: 1 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 4.00 | 13.10 | 17.10 |
| I ran the Chosen Half Marathon today in West Jordan. It was cold and raining almost the entire time...but it was so worth it because it was for a good cause. All the money raised goes to help children get adopted. My church put a team together to help an orphanage in Swaziland, Africa and asked me to be on it a couple months ago so I was happy to run today!
The course was really challenging. Mile 4.5-10 was pretty much straight uphill. Plus, it was raining cats and dogs. My bib actually disintegrated because it got so wet. My shoes were soaked through and I had to stop and retie them at mile 6. My goal for this race was to give it a good effort but not go all out. I wanted it to be a good tempo. Mile 9 was a 7:02...I pretty much decided to not push it hard at that point. I was in first place the entire time so I didn't have anyone to worry about.

| 9 miles on the dirt at Wheeler Farm. It was heavenly. The weather was perfect and I felt pretty good. That is what happens when you don't race balls to the walls :) 7:17 AP.
