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:)

First run back after taking most of last week off from being sick. Planned on 5 but really wanted to walk after 3 miles so ended there. Feeling 50% better, so some improvement. Off to work.

Gym workout today. 20 mins on the elliptical then went to the treadmill to do some short speedwork. Ran 5x200s at 5:15 pace with 1.5 min jog in between intervals. Cool down with 3 miles total.

My energy level has been lacking lately due to this virus I can't seem to shake! My workouts have been so easy this week but have taken a lot out of me.  So I decided to take a 5 Hour Energy to test before race day that I haven't tried yet. Felt fine and energized somewhat so I ran to the gym and did a progressive 2.25 mile increasing 15 secs every .5. Splits were 6:45, 6:30, 6:15 and 6:00 for last .75.  Afterwards I did 40 mins of core work and weights. Ran back home with 8 miles total  with 7:15 AP for the day 

Four hours after the workout I hit some kind of new low, the energy drink had ran out and I was not doing well. I had this crazy migraine that would not go away!. I took some meds, went into a dark hole in my room and spent the remainder of the evening in bed. Not sure what that was a result of, but I might have to think twice about taking an energy drink while I'm not quite a 100% healthwise, then add a workout:) Good thing Steve had the day off today- he took care of the kids and dinner. I plan to keep him.

Cross training today while being productive. Deep cleaned the house for most of the morning then walked around Salt Lake City the rest of the day. We are on a "staycation" for the next few days. Steve got the week off so we could go to Moab this week while the kids stayed at my sisters. We had big plans to go on a 2 day river rafting tour, bike slick rock, hike, run, and stay in a mini cabin. We ended up postponing the trip to June since we learned it was free National Park weekend and some four wheeling competition. So not waning to fight off the crowds, we elected to spend our time in SLC and Park City. So many things to do- visit the Church/Temple grounds, City Creek Center and see a play then head out to Park City. We watched Little Shop of Horrors at the Rose Wagner Theatre in SLC last night. It was great! 100% of the proceeds went to underprivileged kids for dental care. So fun to be together without the "Three Ringling Brother Circus" following us from behind (aka our kids.) I'm counting 4 miles of cross training for the day for sure:D

Speed work day. 15 minute warmup on the elliptical. TM workout of 1,2,3,4,5 minutes with equal rest jog. Splits 5:15, 5:32, 5:49, 5:56, 5:56. Then 10X30 at 5:00 pace with equal rest (5:00/7:45). Cool down. 7 miles total.

 I am running the SLC Half tomorrow. My sister's friend is not running so I am using her  bib and pacing my sister to to a hopeful PR. Goal is under 1:50 tomorrow. Come on Tammy!

Paced my sister for the SLC half. She got a PR! Saw other FRB members and cheered on Allie and James in the marathon. Nice work Allie for taking 2nd in the marathon and Andrea for taking the half title! Great day!
