They try to copy my swagger

3 in 24:30 and .5 cool down.  This run felt surprisingly good and I really was able to push myself.  The first 2 miles felt good at the pace and then I had to really concentrate to keep the 3rd mile at low 8.  But it turned out good and I felt good about it.  I always finish and wish I had just done another mile to build up my mileage, but of course I woke up late and this was really all I had time for.  But really for me to get up on a Monday and go is a huge accomplishment. 

Happy Monday Everybody!

In 37:something. Don't have my watch with me, I'll post my splits later.  As always, I woke up too late and this is all I could get in and I was still late for work.  At the beginning of the run I'm dreading it and then at the end I wish I could just do another mile.... gotta get up earlier!  The temp was so nice today.  Only had to run into the sun for about a half mile, and even then the air was still cool.

Ran by your old stomping grounds Merri (time square) then down to UVU around it and the back up the biggest HILL of my life to get back to my house.

Felt sluggish today, could have something to do with the 15 no bake cookies I ate last night... oops.

Sleeping in is fun to do, to do, to do, to do.  It's alright though, it was either today or tomorrow as my stretch/recovery day.  So of course this morning when I'm in bed I chose to make it today.  I'll run between 6 and 7 tomorrow.

2.1 to gym, ran 2 on the TM then lifted a lifted a little and then ran back home.  It was a good run.  Don't have my watch so don't know my splits.  I know the 1st 2 miles were around 8:15 pace, 2 miles on treadmill at 8:10 pace, and 2 miles home at 9 min pace. 

The weather was pretty nice today, I'm loving the cloud cover.  But the air felt so humid, I wish it would just rain already.

Have a good Thursday everyone!

Did a little 5k in 25:48 this morning. I like the little loop I've made around the neighborhood.  I always do so much faster on the 2nd mile on this loop.  I don't know why, it's just flat eveytime I've run it I've been either below 8 or right at 8, which is fast for me.  And then I die on the 3rd mile :). 

My left knee was buggin, and ITB on the same leg.  It's so wierd.  I haven't felt my ITB for about a month and I've been stretching the same and then it just decides to come back out of the blue.  oh well, I'm sure it will go away again and I'll just keep stretching my little heart out and maybe get a foam roller.

Cool down .43- 4:07

in 1:43:04 - So glad to be done!  I don't know why but mentally before I begin my longer runs I'm always nervous I won't be able to do it.  Even though I did 10 last week I know I can do 11 this week.  Anyway, I started at 6 so that I wouldn't get in the way of the Provo Canyon 1/2 marathoners.  Ran up Provo Canyon 5.5 and then down 5.6.  On the way back down I was wishing I had started a little later because it would have been fun to run down with the racers.  Oh well, it was a good run and could the temperatures be any better???  It felt like Fall.  It was awesome and I always love running up the canyon.

This is also the most I have ever run in a week!  Next week goal is to break 30.
