10 miles Holladay loop with 2 mile loop dodging high school drivers. I came home and told Bryant all my funeral plans incase I get hit by one of those cars someday.

PS- There will be a 5K run in my honor and I want all of you there!

PSS- I don't plan on dying.

8 miles house shopping in Holladay. I don't know why, but I've been running the same route everyday. I just love that place. Longer run tomorrow with a tempo thrown in because they are just so gosh darn fun!

Today's goal was 18 miles with 10 miles progressive but trying to get in that sweet zone of 6:25-6:30 pace. The weather was kinda horrible towards the end of the run, but the first 15 miles were pretty nice (Although I felt like I had a head wind every direction I ran! Good for training right?)

I ran up the Big Cottonwood Trail to Wasatch and turned around at about 4000 South. I love this run. It is a good SG simulator because of the gradual downhill on the way back. According to my Garmin, I gained 1,000 feet the first 9 miles so I tried to not push it but I was feeling good. I kept the uphill miles under 7:30 which I'm happy about.

7:30, 7:27, 7:28, 7:32, 7:14, 7:14, 7:10, 7:20, 7:09, 6:22 (oops, too frisky), 6:33, 6:43, 6:28, 6:26, 6:19, 6:14, 6:09, 6:07

Besides the nasty blister on my toe, I felt really good. I was eating up those last few miles. I wanted more. 6:51 AP

I ran in the afternoon today, which I haven't done in years. It felt weird. But sleep won the battle this morning so I had to run later. I guess drinking half a bottle of wine and not going to bed until 2:30 am will make the morning running battle a little harder.

6 miles around Murray. It was a little brisk. I loved it. My legs are feeling better from Wednesday's workout. Longer run tomorrow but I'm definitely starting my taper.

15 miles with Emily along our usual 4800 South, Canal Road, Gardner Village, Parkway route. I'm so grateful to have Emily as such a good friend! She makes training so much better and more enjoyable. I've been really lucky to run with some amazing girls this training cycle.

We pushed the last few miles and I ran mile 15 in 6:26. Felt good. Continuing the taper next week. Let the madness begin! 7:04 AP
