I would like to hit around 65-70 mi this week. I am probably most likely running a 10k on sat with no goals in mind, it will just be a way to get a good tempo run in. I canceled my gym membership yesterday cuz I just wasnt using it enough anymore.(running 60-70 mi week just doesnt allow for much of anything else:)  Now I will be doing all my toning at home with free weights and my exercise ball.  (MWF).

Got up earlier (whoohoo!) and got four miles in before meeting up with my friend heidi for our usually run. Legs felt trashed on the first 4 (pushed the pace a little to get all 4 in), I did squats and lunged last night and today they were feeling the effects. On the next six we took it really easy, my friend was not feeling well, so that was very nice. Signed up for the Speedster 10k on sat. So hopefully my legs feel a little better by then. Still planning on a little longer run tomorrow, even though its the day before a race but I mostly am running it to just get a good tempo in. Oh and today I had to wear a long sleee shirt, it was cold and windy. Crazy how the weather can change so fast!

Ran an easy ten with my friends Peg and Heidi. I then debated on adding on, my legs were pretty tired but I wanted to hit 50 today so I would only have to run 10 tomorrow to hit 60. I always have a hard time adding miles after a race. I decided to add today and just take it really easy. Tomorrow I will run from my house to the race start (about 2 miles) and then run home after the race.

Avg pace 8:44

Oh what a morning! I woke up in a horrible mood and really did not want to go run a race. Ask my hubby, I was a just little onry this morning (poor guy he puts up with alot!).

But anyways I ran to the race start, passed Dave Holt on the way and ran some with him before the race. I did 4.18 miles to warmup and the whole time I am thinking "how in the world am I going to run any faster than what I am going right now!" which was around an 8min/mile. My legs were so tired and felt trashed. Started the race, it was a double out and back-it was a challenging course mentally and physically. It was fairly flat with some some rollers on the trail and it was pretty warm. My garmin ended up measuring long, along with everyone elses. Measured 6.43 mi's. I defintely did not push myself as hard as i could have. I had no other girls around me and I lost motivation and my legs were jello. I am kinda embarressed of my time but its my own fault for not being tougher out there. It was fun to see Logan, Steve, Clyde and Bill helping with the race. It was definetely stranger to not see them running in the race. Thank you for all your help with the race guys and for not letting us get lost on the course!

Here are my splits:

1.6:38

2. 6:52

3. 6:48

4. 6:54

5.7:08 (got too comfy here)

6: 6:49

.43 was 2:51 @6:40 pace.

avg pace was 6:51

Ran 1.59 cool down with Dustin, was planning on running home but my husband came to the finish and I gave in a got a ride home.
