Running to stay sane

10 miles on my favorite hilly route. My legs felt tired from Saturday. The air is nasty again which makes me sad...ugghhh. 7:18 AP.

I stayed up late last night because I was at the P!nk concert (totally worth it!) so it was hard to get out of bed this morning. I had to "shoot the gap" again and run between taking Kaden and Lily to school. 55 minutes was all I had so I decided to run my favorite Holladay route. 7:09 AP.

Cross training day. I rode my spin bike for 60 minutes and did my PT exercises+core. I had a late night again so I didn't feel like waking up early to run. Plus, this air is super duper nasty and I didn't want to breathe in the toxicness.

9 miles along Wasatch Blvd today. The air is so gross I decided to try to run a little higher up. I did 10x2:00 pushes with 1 minute active recovery. 7:03 AP.

I have a super sensitive nose. My husband calls me a human blood hound. I smelt so many things today while running: onions, fresh laundry, fresh tar (not as pleasent as fresh laundry), sulfur, icy hot, coffee (yummy), bread and pine.

So now you all know that my nose is pretty awesome :) Maybe I can get a job at the airport sniffing out drugs.

Time to retire my Nike's...Goodbye old shoe...You've done me well. Thanks for the marathon PR and for some really good runs. Rest well in running shoe heaven. 6 miles at a slow recovery pace. 

I met Emily at Murray Park for some running and a good therapy session. I felt like all I did today was talk about myself and she was a good listening ear. Thanks Em!

I felt pretty good (thanks in part to the caffeine I took). We ran down 4800 S./1300 W/Parkway and back to the park. I like this route because it has some gradual uphill sections and some downhill. It's not an out and back route but a big loop which makes for new scenery. We ran a pretty good pace with a few sub 7 min miles in there. 7:08 AP.
