So nice not to have to go to work today!!!Went out about 8:00, nice overcast with a few sprinles here and there. Felt rather sluggish on this run, ate too much last night and paid for it this morning! Forgot to blog my goals for the week yesterday. So this week I want to hit again min.60 miles and on tues/thurs I need to get up earlier and get a few extra miles in (3.5)before I meet my group, and get one hard/fast run in either wed or friday, oh yes I want to incorporate some hill repeats one day as well.

Yeahhhh! Had an awesome run today cuz I got to run with Ruth for 6 of it. I wish she was going to be here all summer so I could run with her a reg basis but she is going to have a blast in Somoa. So ran 6 with Ruth a mod pace and then i added on, I was cutting it close on time so had to push towards the end, had a 7:14, 7:07, and 7:06. Had lots of uphill on todays run. Felt great, lots of energy and a beautiful morning, wore a long sleeve today.

Got up early and did 4 before my group run, meant for it to be all easy but had a couple potty breaks so had to push a little to get to the corner on time, so  had a 6:51 and 7:00 min/mile. Well there was no one to meet me at the corner, waited for a few minutes and then ran to my house to check my phone and see if anyone had texted, nope so I decided to go a different direction and ran into my friend from Logan that used to run with us here, we had just missed each other at the corner(I didnt know she was in town) so I was able to have someone to run with and especially excited it was her!  Just took it easy and caught up on life.

Ran 10.3 miles with Peg, Heidi and Tia, went by very fast with the company. avg pace 8:43

Then i added on another loop that is 2.5, along that route is a long steep hill, so I ran upand down it twice (in preparation of WBR)  and that added 1.5 miles, felt really good today. I hoping to meet up with the running club tomorrow and get a little faster run in.

Ran with the club, Steve H, Wildbull, Holt and Logan. They were just taking it easy today so I was able to hang with them without blowing a lung. Ran about the first 7 with them and then add to stop to use the bathroom and was there for awhile, thankfully I brought my ipod so I was able to have some music while I climbed up Snow Canyon. I absolutely love this run. My legs felt awesome and I really felt I was moving up it at a pretty good pace. Got to the top and started down the marathon course and I could see the guys up ahead and I felt great so I made a run at it to try to catch them, just as I was really starting to close the gap (mile 14) I had to stop for the bathroom again, but this time I had to trek off into the back country to find a spot where I could have some privacy. After that I stop I slowed down a little, starting to feel sick to my stomach, and i think i was dehydrated too. I was very happy with todays run, my legs felt incredibly fresh! (6:52,7:13,7:12, 6:36, 7:17, 7:14, 7:12) these were some of my faster miles, the last 7 of the run.

avg pace 7:50

Ok and I also vowed my would never do this but I am going to start posting my weight once a week to keep me accountable. (I ate too much junk last night so hopefully this will help me not to that during this training season!)
