Running to stay sane

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. 

8 miles around Holladay. Nice and easy. 7:24 AP

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). 

Easy 10k around Wheeler Farm. Lots of angry geese. Still haven't seen the fox.

Another 10K today. I ran around Holladay. 7:09 AP. Beautiful morning!

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.
