Keep Calm and Run On

I did a long run on my own. I ran along Foothill to Parley's Trail and to Tanner Park. I came back past Sugarhouse and along 1500 E. I was pretty sore and tight from Simplot. 

Long run- We ran the cemetary (on 3300 S.) run

Fartlek at Liberty. We ran 8 sets of 3 minutes on and 2 minutes recovery. Chris was right behind me the whole workout and that helped me so much to push hard. I did my core. 

We ran the loop from 1300 E. to 2100 S. along 1900 E. and down Sunnyside. We had to run along 1500 E. to add on more mileage to get 8. I did my core.

Run to the track and 2 miles speed changes. Did my core. 

I was dreading the 15K- last year I got really bad blisters and it snowed a lot. We ran a mile warm up and it was super windy. I got out and stuck with Tomy. We ran our first mile around 5:57 and made it our goal to run 6 minute pace. I made it my goal to stick on Tomy as long as I could. It made a HUGE difference running with him. I dropped my sweatshirt at mile 3 at the water station. The first half went by pretty quick, but as soon as we turned the wind was horrible. the next few miles were really hard running against the wind. Our pace slowed, but we caught and passed one guy. At mile 7 we started picking it up, and mile 8 really pushing to just get it over with. I finished one second behind Tomy. This race felt better than the 10K and my pace was an average of 6:03. I was really happy about my time, and I had less than a mile cooldown! (opposite of 2 weeks ago....) My time was almost 7 minutes faster than last year.
