Usually mondays are an 8-9 mi run with my group but today the girl I run with only had time to do 4mi which I was happy with since I have the SC half this weekend and dont want to wear my legs out (especially where they were so fatigued last week). splits today were 8:07(uphill), 6:48, 6:55, and 7:50. Felt really good today-no fatigue in legs today:)avg pace 7:23

9 mi loop with cheri, pace felt pretty good. First 2 miles were a steady gradual incline as well as mile 9 Not slow enough to be easy but not fast enough for a tempo. Just a good overall run. Abs and my  little home lifting routine

Ran with Cheri and Nat. Pushed the last mile. avg pace 7:41, 39:43 overall time, and splits were 8:20, 7:51, 8:12, 7:27, 6:48 and last .16 was 6:37. I know its not cold here compared to most places but it seems like it gets a little harder to breath when the weather gets colder. Im not fond of the cold, it makes it harder to get out of bed!

Nice easy loop with Peg and Nat, good conversation and company. I love the social part of running and the friendships that get developed. I felt really good today so hopefully that means good things for tomorrow.

Lots warmer today-got hot with my headband and gloves.

Well had the SC half marathon today in St. George and while I didn't get a PR I did take first overall for the females.i neverhave taken first so that was pretty exciting, even though it was a pretty small race, I was happy to experience that (and Ive always wanted toknowwhat it felt like to break the tape as cheesy as that is!)

The weather was perfect, was able to wear shorts and tank from the start. It even got a little warm, kinda crazy for Novemeber weather. The course starts at on a very steep downhill and then around mile 1.5 you break off onto a 3 mi out and 3 back on a dirt trail. It was tough for me, Im not a trail runner and it was a gradual incline. I took off to fast at the start (its hard not to on that steep delcline) and  at mile 4 I was thinking "I cant believe I have only ran 4 mi, Im already spent!" But anyways I just kept on trucking along and was so excited to see the finish line. Overall it was a pretty good course, I liked where they had the course finish. I did get to meet Josse face to face so that was very fun, she ran a great race!!

Time was 1:31:15 and splits were:

1. 5:30 (see way to fast for me)

2.5:47 (still too fast)

3. 6:36

4. 7:35

5 7:43

6. 7:09

7. 7:16

8. 6:55

9. 7:20

10. 6:52

11. 7:04

12. 7:07

13. 7:23 and last .10 was 6:26.
