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:)

This morning I met Kam (from the blog) for a beautiful trail run. Garmin was flipping out as always so I guess I ran aprox. 14-15 miles on Firebreak Rd to Farmington Canyon and looped back on Main street. Walked/hiked some spots on the trail, otherwise nice even run. I wimped out the last two miles and Kam had to basically drag me due to my legs still acting like cry babies-but all in all nice run and great company.

Thats good you were able to get 14-15 in. nice job-take care of your legs and allow complete rest if you need it. Thats too bad your garmin keeps wigging out-I don't usually have problems with mine.

Tara, I know from your entry last Friday you said you were feeling better about things, but I thought I'd let you know that you are going to be just FINE for TOU. In my opinion the timing of HobbleCreek was perfect for racing TOU and you still have a couple weeks to rest up/taper for the big day. If your legs are still feeling tired jump in an ice bath (or two or three). That always rejuvinates my legs.

Christi- I thought about your advice on my morning run today. Good to have a little Christi sitting on my shoulder when in doubt:) Now if I can just take you with me for TOU, that would be great!

Runningafterbabies- fun name btw. Thanks for the comment. I've seen your blog and you always know what to do:) Thanks!!

Kam is crazy! Don't tell him I said that.
