Running to stay sane

11 miles around Holladay. My legs aren't too tired from Saturday's race. 7:28 AP.

10 miles in the dark. Legs are still a little tired but not too bad. 

12 miles along the parkway. Legs feel good! This week is my last big week before I start to taper! 7:08 AP.

10 miles in the dark. Took my life into my own hands and ran by Cottonwood High during the morning rush to get to school... Jenny-1 Death-0! Ha ha! 

Side note...I got a pretty good blister on the bottom of my foot last Saturday during the race. I haven't had blisters in forever. Now I'm worried I'm going to get them during my marathon next month. Any advice for bottom of the foot blisters? 

7 miles with my buddy Emily. Her knee is still hurting but she was able to run with me which made the start of my Friday even better :) 

I met James and Daniel at Liberty and then I drove us up to a little past mile 1 of the SL course. We started from there and ran the course to about mile 24 which put us back at Liberty Park. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel today since I had a race last weekend and the build up of marathon training is being felt in my legs. But I'm super happy with how I felt today and my overall pace was sub 7:00. I want to give a big thank you to James and Daniel for making this last long run so enjoyable. James has been an awesome training partner and he has really helped me push myself over the past few months. He is going to run a big PR at Ogden! 

I feel like I know the SL marathon course like the back of my hand now. I've run it 5 times during my training. The hills didn't suck as much today. I was able to section it off in my mind to help me keep going. I feel like I'm ready! 

7:30, 6:57, 6:48, 6:36, 7:22, 7:04, 7:15, 7:07, 7:17, 6:48, 7:12, 7:10, 7:07, 7:05, 6:54, 6:50, 6:41, 6:56, 7:09, 6:44, 6:29, 6:37, 6:29- 6:58 AP

In celebration of a great day, Bryant and I went to the tattoo convention and I got myself a new tattoo. I've heard that tattoos help you run faster ;)
