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:)

6 easy miles near the temple this am. Did a few 1 min pickups at the end. Ughhh, Im not really sure how to taper. I feel like I am just going through motions. Anyone feel like that?

Did some 800's on the mill today. 7x800 at half marathon pace with a 45 sec rest between each. All were done at 6:23 pace, except for the last I did around marathon pace. Comfortable and effortless for me today. I resisted the urge to go faster all in the name of the wonderful week of tapering:) Averaged 7:00 min/mi for a total of 8 miles today including warmup and warmdown. Feeling energized.

Ran in some crazy wind early this morning for a total of 7.  I hoped to get in 8 before work but the wind was too relentless. I'm pretty sure I did about a 13 min mile at one point as I finished up the hill with the wind. The best part about this is that I DON'T CARE CAUSE I'M TAPERING!!:) YEAH!

This morning I woke up at 5:30 to travel to Spanish Fork for a 5k. After warming up I went to the starting line and saw a girl named Holly who has won it in the past. I knew she would take it again, and that was okay, I was not going to challenge her on 5:50 miles today, perhaps another time:) The gun went off and she went out like a bandit with some guy. I followed behind them the entire race.I felt smooth and comfortable for the most part. The grade had some drawn out hills but nothing too tough. The first mile was flat with a small up hill, second mile was a gradual uphill and the third was a gradual downhill. The last 200 m was frustrating! I guess the police were off so they left thier post and runners vulenerable to cross a busy 4 lane street. So after almost gettting hit by TWO cars each coming different directions, I had to stop and wait for traffic with the finnish line just ahead of me. I give myself another 10 secs at least for my own personal records:) Attempted to pull myself together for a fast finish for the last 30 seconds of the race for an official time of 19:40. Without looking at my splits at the moment, they were around-  6:14, 6:26, 6:23, and 5:30 (.10). (6:20 AP). I finished 3rd overall men and women, 2nd in women and 1st in age. This was a smaller race, I think only about 100 participants total. Nice cool morning and a great toon up for TOU next weekend! Oh, and the best part...the course actually measured dead on at 3.1 according to Garmin!
