Met everyone at Bingham and ran to the temple in Daybreak. When we got back Cheryl MADE us run uphill repeats in the parking lot, so we got in a total of 8.6 miles. My average was 9:18 minute miles

Ran 2 miles with Drew later.

Progressive tempo run from my house to Daybreak, with Julie and Michelle. We did 2 slow miles to warm up, then we tried to hit 8:45, 8:30 and then 8 minute miles until we got to 10. We were close, but going uphill into Daybreak slowed us down. Our miles coming back down were mostly in the 7.5 minute range, and mile 10 was 7.39 even though it was totally flat. I felt good about that! Then we did one more cool-down mile.

HARD DAY!  I read last night that you should follow a tempo run with a run of 12-13 miles at your normal long-run pace. That way your muscles learn to run through the fatigue. I don't know how much my muscles learned, but I was zapped! I tried to average a 9 minute pace, but it ended up being more like 9:20.  Very tired at the end!

Met with the running group to run down from Glenmoor to the trail. I tried to take it easy, but it is hard to go slower downhill! I didn't want to be totally left behind, so I ran a little faster than I should have for an easy day. My average was 8:30, my heartrate was 148.

Did 8.1 miles with the group, and 1.7 with Drew after I got home.

Ran by myself today--BORING! I just did 8.25 miles mostly really slow, with a couple of pick-ups for fun. Average heartrate was 125.

Yasso 800's! I have always wanted to try these out! I met Michelle and Dean at the track, and we did 3.2 miles of warm-up (including speed changes). Then we started the 800's--they felt hard, so I was thinking maybe we would do 4, but we did 6. By the end our legs were pretty tired, but we maybe could have done another 2? We were shooting for 3:30, and it was hard because there was a really strong south wind to contend with, plus all the sprinklers that we tried to dodge--they would totally soak us! So, with all that, here are the split times:

1:  3:31

2:  3:28

3:  3:24

4:  3:25

5:  3:28

6: 3:24

 

Woohoo! It was totally a confidence builder that we can run a 3:30 at St. George!

When we were done I ran another 1.5 miles with Michelle and Dean, then turned around and did my last mile totally into the wind, and I did an 8-minute mile. Got home and ran some more with Drew!
