Met with the running group today, and did 6.5 miles. We did most at marathon speed, with a slower first and last mile. It felt kind of hard, I think I need to take it a little easier--and get more sleep!--before I really add miles. So last week I did about 26 total (the week after my marathon), so this week I will add about 3 miles.

Today I did my circuit weight training again--I started with a half hour of stair master (on easy, because I was on the phone and had to breathe!). Then I did close to 25 minutes with weights and cardio intermixed, then 15 minutes of more stairmaster. I was tired by the end! I think next week I will try switching out the stairmaster and adding in running instead.

Met with the running group and ran 6 miles, most of the miles were about 9-9.5 minute pace, with some downhill miles a little faster. But we could carry on a conversation the whole time, which is the most important part!

Michelle, Julie and I did a 12 mile run geared around hills--we ended up doing 5 major hills! Michelle and I have some tough hills to run in Wasatch Back, so we thought we better start training for them at some  point!

We aimed for 2 miles at 9-minute pace, 4 miles at 8.5, then 3 miles at an 8-minute pace (but ended up doing 4, since our miles weren't really that fast anyway, with all the hills), then 2 miles at 9 minute pace.

The hills made us all pretty tired, except for Julie who is amazing at uphill running. Luckily I was able to take a 1/2 hour nap later that day while my husband mowed the lawn in between baseball games. Is that mean, or what?!
