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:)

Gosh, that was fun today! Around lunch time, I met up with Scott W. to run Mt. Wire in Sugarhouse area. He mentioned it would be a good recovery run for him, so I expected an easy run. We ran a bit, but mostly hiked up ~2500ft to the top in 1.75 miles. He kept talking while I gasped for air at a literal crawling pace. My calves started burning about 10 minutes into it, so he let me stop and catch my breath stretch for a minute.

The view was amazing at the top! I've never been anywhere like it, but I've only ran the Twin Peaks in the past. We decided to take a more technical route back, climbing (literally) up to Red Butte. He kept talking about rattlers in the rocks and I kept picturing them jumping out of the holes like Wac-a-Mole. We caught a couple pics up top. I was in awe of the ground we had covered! We then went to a ledge called the "living room." We found  a group of people casually taking in the view. We finally made our way down to the bottom in about a 1:50:00 for a 10k round trip. A little harder than I expected, I need to work on hills more deliberatly.

Mt Wire was fun! The weather was awesome, the company was great and the scenery was outstanding!

6AM- LPT with Andy. 9 miles, 7:41AP. We were both tired this morning. He had an awesome training week last week, and I was just sleep deprived. We took it easy then picked up the last two miles at 6:39, 6:27.

I just purchased the new Garmin 620. I can't wait to use it and stew over meaningless running data!!

1 mile to test out new Garmin. I turned around to study the contents of the manual a bit further. 

2 miles with Stephen on a warm summer-y-kind-of night.

7:00 AM-  55º, 75% humidity, cloudy, little wind. Gorgeous morning run in Farmington back country on dirt and gravel. It almost looked like an extension of LPT, but not paved and much more scenic. I'd run it everyday if I could find it again. Met up with Angie B, Cynthia F., and Katie T. at Harmon's for a nice 13 miler. Great company and route! 7:45ap.

I have been very satisfied with my new Garmin 620. It's still learning about me each run. My first run, Yesterday, sent me a conrats message with an new 5k estimated time of 24 minutes, up to the marathon at 3:45. Overnight, I have improved my 5k estimate to 21:00 and marathon at 3:25. Even my VO2 max went from 44 to 48 overnight. If this improvement continues at this rate, I expect to have an OTQ by next week;)

PM- More rototilling!
