I was all set to get out for my run this morning when I realized that Myles had a Doctor's appointment. Doh! So, I ran at the club this afternoon. I warmed up three miles and then ran 10 x 3 minutes on 2 minutes off. I started at 10mph and increased .1 every interval. The last one I ran a full mile at 11.0 mph. The effort felt somewhere between a threshold run and an interval workout. I will run something measured on Thursday. I cooled down until I hit 12 miles.

After a late afternoon workout my legs were very fatigued this morning. I tried to let my body ease into the run. It took six miles before I felt decent. I ran 2200w to 4100s, on to the river trail, off at Bullion and back via 4800S, with an extended loop to 2200w. The drizzle felt nice, but it was extremely muggy. I'm completely soaked through from my run. 7:17 average.

Two more hard day and then a little rest for the weekend. I have a bunch of family coming into town for the next two weeks and the following week I'm going to youth conference with Teren. So there will be a lot of training-interrupting activities.

I've been front loading the week a bit so I can have a short run on Saturday. So, my legs are a bit tired right now. It might sound selfish, but I'm excited for school to start again so I can get back to a routine.

I ran out 1300W to 7800s, and back on the river trail. I stopped for a moment to watch the two pelicans hanging out in the river. Yesterday, I saw two cute rabbits doing what rabbits do best. I didn't stop and watch. I wanted to give them some privacy.

7:01 average.

Only my long run left. I can't wait to be done with this week. My hips and Achilles are so fatigued. I was going to run a track workout, but thought I should stay out of my flats. I ran a three mile warm up to Valley Park. I ran 20 x 1 minute on/off. It was tough but manageable. I'm getting faster. Average pace for the whole workout, including warm up and cooldown was 7:01. Last time I did a similar work out, average pace was around 7:18. I'm looking to keep my long run relatively easy tomorrow.

I ran 55 more miles this month than last month. That's like an entire extra week of running.

Got my long run in today since my family is going to Pineview Reservoir tomorrow and I don't want to hold them up while I run. I was tired from our trip to Antelope Island yesterday. My first mile was an 8:02. I ran 4800S to the river trail. I made it a mile past Gardner Village, took my gu, and came back. First half 7:16 average. Total time 7:05 average. I could have used one more gu. I was hungry the last two miles. Now, I'm going to go Zumba with my sisters-in-law. Should be fun.

I am so glad all the hard stuff is over this week!

I am notoriously bad at running recovery paces. I fixed that problem this morning by loading Myles into the baby jogger and taking him running. It is impossible to run fast pushing a baby jogger. I enjoyed my time with my little buddy. He even entertained me by singing "Let it Go" for the last mile. I originally planned on a couple more miles, but decided to keep it easy and short. There is plenty of time tobuild the mileage over the coming weeks. As it is, this was my first week above 65. 8:07 average.
