Keep Calm and Run On

I ran 4 miles with my roomate then added another 5 to finish off the week.

Ran Carterville run with the team before weights. My foot still hurts so I am going to get some more new shoes.

Got to run in Salt Lake today! That made me happy and I got spiffy new running shoes that feel better.

I had extra time today so I decided to do my long run. I wanted to run to the Orem cemetery and it was a bit further than I expected (7 miles) But I was feeling good and did it all. I negative split when I turned around at 7 and ran back the same way. I felt great and averaged 7:09. I didn't feel it until the last mile and I was tired at weights and now ready for bed.

Easy 8- I felt tight from weights and tired from yesterday's run.

Today was an awesome day for running. I ran 10 in the morning with the girls then we went to the Egg Nog Challenge! This is the third year the boy's team has done it and the first year the girls joined (and probably the last) We did it at the outdoor track and it was freezing. Everyone brought their own egg nog and we started with drinking a cup of nog. Then the timer started and we ran a lap and drank a cup until you puke. (you have to start a new lap every three minutes so you have to drink or run fast) I felt great the first 5 laps then the last few were bad.  I finished 9 laps and was trying to drink my 10th cup but puked it up so I stopped. And 15 minutes later finally puked everything. The winner was a freshman who  ran 14 laps and drank 15 cups! It was crazy, gross and I probably won't be the nog challenge next year but it was fun!

I doubled today and both times were in the snow. I ran 6 in the morning and 5 after my first final.

Adventure run today.

In honor of 12/12/12, I planned to run 12 miles! But of course, I went out too far and finished with 13. Oh well. I felt really good and averaged 7:11.

I ran with some girls on the team. I was tired and tight from weights and my run yesterday. But we made it in time for breakfast at Legends!

I ran with Ashleigh. We ran 7 and averaged 7:02 than I added another 2mies.

It feels great to be home in Salt Lake and running my usual loops! I ran the 6 mile Death Loop in the morning and later another 4 miles. I was tired but it was a long week of studying and taking finals.

First day of winter training! Mondays are temple hills (in Provo). So I ran to Sugarhouse and ran a grass lap then dropped onto the road and ran 1 hill repeat. I ran to Steiner where I met my mom and ran another 4 miles on the treadmill.

Ran 5 this morning between the snow and then ran 6 later with Tomy.

I ran my threshold at Liberty Park. I ran 3.5 miles warm up then did a 10 minute threshold on the sidewalk. I didn't feel too great- my hamstrings were tight and it is hard to push along. I averaged 6 minute pace and then cooled down to 8. Later I met with the East team and we ran 6 mile Shriners run. And of course, beng back with the boys, a suicide mile to finish.

I met with Ryan and Tomy for a run. We ran the flagpole/Foothill run. We just talked the whole time and ran slower but it was a good recovery run

Ran up to Red Butte and up the road to the fence. Then ran back home Legacy Bridge way.

Yay for sunny, warmer weather for running! I ran to Cottonwood Complex and back (plus some) for my long run. I ran 2.5 warm up then did a 30 minute tempo. I ran the block around the complex and only had to stop at one light. I averaged 6:44 for my tempo.  

I started my run in the rain and it quickly escalated into a full on blizzard- cold and painful to run. I ran to Sugarhouse and ran my 2 hills then finished 6 miles. I drove to the gym and ran another 6 miles on the treadmill. I wore my Blue Nikes at the gym and my IT was really tight and hurt later from them.

Today was cold but clear weather so I did my long run. I ran up to Shriners, along 11th Ave and down Memory Grove and back along South Temple and 1300 E. South Temple felt forever long and the sidewalk was all icy and snowy.

Today I ran my fartlek at Liberty (everywhere else is still covered in snow) I ran 3.5 warm up then ran 5 on, 5 off, 3 on, 3 off. I finished a cool down to be at 8. I felt ok, just tired.

I ran in the morning and it was pretty bad. It had snowed a lot and the sidewalks weren't clear so I was way slow. I didn't make it to the gym later to do more miles.

Today was flippin' cold and I had a lot of miles to run. So I went to the gym and ran 8 on the treadmill and then later ran 4 outside.  

I met with Tomy for a morning run. We ran up to Red Butte then started 35 minute tempo. We ran across JCC to 11th Ave. We ran to the cemetery, cut down Death Hill and ran back along 1300 E. I felt pretty tired and there is no way I could have done the tempo without someone to push with. He gapped me along 13th but I caught him by the end. I averaged 6:27 and we finished with 10 miles. After lunch and a short nap, I ran 4 more miles to be done for the week. I felt really tired. Welcome back to high miles.

I decided it wasn't worth the snow and ice to run hills. So I ran 6 ouside and 5 on the treadmill at the gym.
