10 miles in Kamas, UT. Running along rolling farm roads. I ran 5 mile out (easy) then picked it up each mile on the way back. I wasn't super fast but it felt hard with the altitude and getting over my sickness. 7:00, 6:55, 6:50, 6:48, 6:45 splits. 7:13 AP

11 miles with my awesome buddy Emily. We ran to Wheeeeeler Farm and ran through a couple mud pits. I felt really tired and Emily was spry. 7:16 AP

3 mile warm up to Cottonwood track. 6x1 mile with 400 recovery jog. My only goal for this workout was to finish all 6 and try to keep it under 6:00 pace. I was able to do both but my legs were dead. I think being sick last week zapped them. I felt like there was nothing left in the tank after the 3rd mile. But, it wasn't horrible. And in reality, I don't need to be running faster than 6:00 miles for marathon training. 

Splits- 5:55, 5:55, 5:55, 5:57, 5:59, 5:59

1.5 mile cool down to get 12 miles total. I'm going to really focus on eating well, staying hydrated and getting good sleep (I had a rough time sleeping last night).

10 miles through Hollday. My quads are toast from yesterday's workout and leg work. But I'm feeling so much better. Aside from the lack of sleep I've gotten the past few days (can't turn my mind off and I keep dreaming of chiseled ab's and large calf muscles), I'm feeling pretty good. 7:33 AP

7 miles around Murray. It was a little chilly this morning. I said a prayer outloud for my good friend James running the Wasatch 100. I'm so impressed! Go James go!

I drove up to Farmington again today to run with Angi, Cynthia, Jasmine. I ran 3.5 miles before the rest of the girls arrived. It was still dark so I ran through a new neighborhood that is under construction so there were no street lights and I gazed up at the stars... I loved it. When I went back to my car to meet the girls we ran out to the Layton Classic and dropped off Jasmine and Cynthia so they could race the 10k. Angi and turned back around and ran back to our cars. We dropped the pace coming back and ran several miles under 7:00 pace. I'm so glad Angi is running St. George so we can run together! It will be nice to have someone to suffer with! 7:13 AP
