Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am a Mormon

 

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

I planned to sleep in today due to feeling overly tired for the past week....but sat in bed with nothing to do at 6:00am. Dang the internal clock.  So I put on my running shoes and jogged around the neighborhood with my dog.

1.5 warm-up on elliptical on level 10. Jumped on the TM for a quick 1. 5 on TM to test tempo pace, then straight into tempo.

5 mile progressive tempo @ 6:15AP, with varying grades. 6:39 (1.5%), 6:31 (1%), 6:18 (.5%), 5:53(0%), 5:54 (-1.5%) and .1 (:30). Last 5k in 18:37. 

I was more tired for the first mile, but each mile after I felt better and better. Finished feeling really good and tempted to do a 10k, but knew it would wipe me out if I did, and the goal was to finish with more in the tank. More than the times, I'm pleased with how I felt at the end of the workout!

I needed to get more miles, so ran a few more after the tempo for a total of 9 @ ~6:58AP. 

1 mile with dog later on.

Long run with Kam and Andy. It was nice to find company for today's long run. I especially appreciated the free sports psychology session. Thanks!
