Ran a 2 mile loop around my house and then went 4 miles up the Big Cottonwood Trail and turned around. Pushed it on the way down (6:40, 6:35, 6:29, 6:20). I love where I live! So beautiful! 7:10 AP.

Track workout today. I warmed up 3 miles, did 2 laps of speed changes, 7x800 (400 recovery jog), 1.5 mile cool down. 

I did all my 800's in 2:49...Seriously, I crossed the line at that exact time every time. I don't know if my consistency is a good thing or a bad thing. I felt like I was pushing it on the last two but they were still 2:49. I wanted to run a little faster. But, it is what it is. Consistent Connie is my name... :)

I ran with an old friend from high school who is in town. She was a sprinter back in the day so she is starting to convert over to distance running. It was great talking to her about the good old days when we both were younger and had boobs. 7:55 AP.

This was a pretty good race for me. I wasn't quite sure what to expect on this course since they changed it from the "normal" route. I ran this race years ago when I was in college and I don't remember how fast I ran it. Anyways, my goal was to run hard but controlled. 

I warmed up 2 miles with Allie, Devra and Emily. I stayed pretty close to Devra and Emily for the first mile. The second mile was a good gradual downhill mile and it felt nice and controlled. The last mile was slightly uphill and I was a little surprised that my mile split was a 6:03 (Dang, I wanted to keep it all under 6:00). I crossed the finish in 18:20. I was happy with my effort and I feel like I'm getting faster with each race. Heck, last year my 5K PR was a 19:28! I am definitely running smarter and racing better. 

Splits- 5:51, 5:46, 6:03, :40. (5:53 AP)

7 mile cool down with Allie and Devra on the trails. Draper has some really nice places to run.
