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:) Personal:

| 645am- easy 4.25 down Main. Turned around and did Fartlek, 7:17ap back.
8x60 @ 5k pace with 2:00 active rest
5x30 sprints with 1 min active rest
Felt okay, but sluggish to get to top speeds.
I always like Main because you can always get some added hill work in that mimics most hills on a course,. Lots of gradual long rollers that aren't too taxing upfront but challenge your mentality.

| 7:00AM- 9 miles total on Davis. 86% humidity but felt cool outside.
I felt good today, even from the start.
Ran up to Davis, then turned South to the end- 10:15, 8:06, 7:45, 7:49, 7:10 (.40).
Turned around and ran change of pace 800's. I started off wanting to do 10k pace, but changed my mind half way to hmp due to the course. This hilly route is hard to run in the 6 min range for any given mile, so I went more realistic. I also knew the splits would be uneven so I went by effort.
6x800 Continuous, alternating between mp and hmp=4 mi @ 6:18AP
3:00, 3:27, 3:07, 3:30, 3:13, 3:29, (2 min drink break half way)
1x1mi @ 5:43 downhill
*8 mi@ 7:03ap on Davis Blvd, so happy with this overall!
Getting aches, time to retire Mint Ghosts.

| Day off from running. Instead, I focused on another hobby. I made Twix cupcakes that took me exactly 3.5 solid hours to make. Then I made a fresh pasta meal that took another 1.5 hours. I cooked from 12:30 to 5:30! Nothing sounds or tates good after a day of cooking, not even my creations. Steve loved them and so did the neighbors. I enjoyed the outlet.
1.5 mile walk at night with Steve and Lucy.

| 6:30 AM- Hill running day. I ran down to 400 E, then turned back up East to avoid construction. Then ran down to Main Street. Stopped at Pheasant Brook to look at the frogs in the pond. Then I ran to Chase Lane and headed up East again all the way to the top, or the turn off to head North on BST. Made my way towards the waterfall, but decided to turn around. 1.5 miles of a steep uphill climb. I decided to get some downhill pounding on the way back and push the uphills too. Ran back down and turned on 400E, and back home.
My mind wasn't totally focused. I was too distracted with my "to do" list at home. I'm leaving to a running retreat in Napa tomorrow for a "Podium Retreat with Kara Goucher." Hoping to get some inspiration and just have a good time. I also get to meet and room with fellow blogger, Toby for the first time!

| Nice run in Napa's vineyards with Tish Hamilton, executive editor for runners world. We both passed each other, running single, and I decided to turn around and run with her. Every once a while we would pass her cameraman, taking shots, which was fun. I loved her calmness.

| Met up with Andy on Legacy Parkway Trail. I wasn't feeling it this morning. I felt cardio wise out of shape and I had a hard time breathing. Must have been from traveling and the change in altitude from California? Not sure. I felt very flabby too. This was no shocker. My diet has fallen off the bandwagon as I haven't been racing this year. Time to get it together again, whether I race or not. I also want to focus on more cross training with core, Hiit and Pilates. It will be hard to incorporate these on a regular basis, aside from running so I'll start really small.
I've really enjoyed my hiatus and it was just what I needed. However, I need some accountablitly or I might get in trouble. Some things just need to be said out loud.
8 miles 7:20 AP- 8:11, 7:57, 7:49, 7:35, 7:06, 6:54, 6:55, 6:19. Felt better after turning around at half way, but last mile felt like a push and my HR reflected that at 96%/max. Go Tara.

| 600- LPT with Andy and Kam. We decided to head south since the wind was blowing so hard. We ran 4.5 miles with some of the strongest winds, I have ran in, in a very long time. It was almost impossible to talk and hear the other person or yourself speaking. We averaged just under 9:00 AP, but with effort. I felt pooped with little determination to turn around and take advantage of the tailwind. Unfortunately, there was hardly any tailwind after the first 1/2 mile, except for a few intermittent, gushes at our backs, but It was definitely easier coming back at 7:45ap.

Today I taught my son how to ride his bike. He is great but I still don't dare leave his side, so lots of running all day up and down the street. Interval work, even.
