Running to stay sane

16 miles with Mrs. Moore. We ran up the Big Cottonwood Trail to Wasatch and then back down. We hit a few 6:30's on the way down with our last mile being a 6:29. I'm really going to miss that girl when she moves to Georgia in a couple weeks...7:07 AP. 

8 miles around Murray/Wheeler Farm. My legs were fatigued from yesterday's long run. I usually take a day off after my long run but didn't. Wheeler Farm makes me happy. 7:10 AP.

Track Tuesday. It didn't rain on me which was good, but my legs felt like jello. My splits were slower than I wanted. But I was able to push through it and get some good turn over. I think that effort can sometimes be just as important as hitting fast times. And this workout was hard for me. I think Sunday's long run up and down the canyon beat my legs up more than I realized. 

2x1600, 1x1200, 2x800, 1x400 (400 meter recovery jog, 1 minute after last 800)

5:49, 5:52, 4:28 (oh boy), 2:53, 2:53, :82

Not horribly fast but it was challenging. I'm proud of myself for pushing through it. I'm going to run easy the rest of the week. 

8.5 miles with no watch. Just me and the road...

10 miles around Murray. I felt better today and really enjoyed my run. 7:08 AP.

6 miles around Wheeler Farm. Nice and easy. 7:30 AP. 

I'm thinking about running the LA Marathon in March. Has anyone else run it? Thoughts? 

18 miles with Emily. We started at Murray Park and ran over to 4500 South and up 500 East to Allie's old stomping grounds (Liberty Park). Then we ran back on 700 East to 2100 South, looped around Sugarhouse Park and back to 4500 South on Highland. Poor Emily fell at mile 15 and got a bloody knee/hands. She shook it off like Taylor Swift and kept running. She is awesome! We both had stomach issues but our legs felt good and we kept a fast pace. 7:02 AP.
