I felt tired and blah today. I didn't get a very good night's sleep last night. Myles kept getting out of bed. I can't wait until nap time.

Twenty minute warm up followed by 25 x 1 minute on/off. It was pretty windy this morning. I'm still not feeling too hot. I probably should have cut back this week a bit. 7:04 average.

Later AM: Tuesday Zumba. Then I went and spent money on cheap workout clothes at Shopko.

Lots of ten milers lately. I will have to take my runs a little longer. Or at least vary my distances. I decided my next race will be the Jordan River Half Marathon. It will probably be more of a training run, but it's the only one that fits in my schedule until soccer is over. 7:22 average.

I have developed a head cold. Ugh. I kept with my training plan, but slowed it down a bit. 1.5 mile warm up. 60 minute progressive tempo. 9.5 miles. 6:18 slower treadmill average. Effort felt right, though. 1 mile cooldown. I felt better than I thought I would.

Blustery morning, still fighting off the head cold. I told myself to just make it through five miles. I ended up with 8.35. A little victory this morning. Slow running! 7:49 average

Saturday long run with Jenny.  We missed the rain!  Yay!  We sent happy vibes to Ogden runners, hoping their conditions were favorable.  Our eighteen mile run turned into nineteen due to some navigation errors on my part.  I resisted the urge to run .28 to reach 70.0.  I'm trying to reign in my Type A tendencies.  So, 69.72 it is.  

 

7:04 average.
