Keep Calm and Run On

We had an early out so workout was done by 3! Glorious. We ran along 1300 E. to Cottonwood Complex. Then weaved our way back along 1100 E. and through Sugarhouse to the school. I did my core. 

Speed workout at the Oval. We ran 2 miles warm up, 1 mile speed changes. Then 5 1,000's at 2 mile pace with equal recovery. My times were 3:22, 3:20 and the last 3 were all 3:19. I felt pretty tired and had dead legs by the end. We ran 8 laps cool down.

First day of outdoor track! And it is definitely track season- It was nice and sunny at the beginning of the workout and by the end it was blizzarding. Welcome to track. We have a lot of new people on the team. It is fun to have more people at workouts. We ran usual 2 lap warm up, stretching circle, drills. Then we ran 6 laps of drill, stride, and bleachers. Afterwards a group of us ran 7.5 to get an even 10 for the day. We ran to Red Butte, JCC and across 11th Ave to Popperton Park and back the Shriners run. It was supposed to be a recovery run, but I was pushing the pace because I wanted to go to the basketball game. The last mile were in the snow and brutal wind. Did my core. 

After drills, wall sits, and step ups we went on a long run. We ran a lap in the cemetery on 500 S. and then ran Shriners run along 11th Ave until 5 miles. We came back the same way, but Bill and I added an extra lap in the cemetery to get more miles.

Speed workout at the Oval. We ran 2 miles warm up, mile speed changes then ran a mile and 2 sets of 4 400's with 2 laps recovery between sets. My mile was about 6 seconds too slow. My 400's were 72, 71, 71, 71 for the first set and 73, 71, 71, 71 for the last set. This speed workout was really hard and my legs were so dead. Running fast speed on high mileage is painful.  

Ran an easy 6 this morning. Then I went skiing at Snowbird which made me really sore.
