Keep Calm and Run On

AM workout at Liberty Park. I got about 2 miles warm up and strides. We ran a mile and 2x800. The craziest thing happened. I started running, and my legs did not feel like a ton of bricks. They felt good. I was seriously SO happy. It has been so long since I have felt like that in a workout. I wasn't running super fast, but I am recovering better from miles and I have needed that. I ran my mile in 5:41 and the 800's were 2:41 and 2:35. PM I ran 4 miles on  my own.

AM I didn't get much sleep last night, so I just did 8 miles in the morning. I was tired and took it slow.

PM I ran another 4 and felt really good.  

I really hate running tempos by myself. But I decided I probably should. I ran up to the zoo then started my tempo on Wasatch Drive. I ran to the flagpole, then along Foothill to the cemetery and home. Whenever I tempo by myself, I run the same pace- 6:56. I felt ok- way tired by the end and had a slow cool down.

AM Ran 8 miles. I was really tired and didn't even try to push the pace.

PM Ran another 5 and felt a lot better.

Ran to Sugarhouse then did the cemetery run. It was way hot by the time I finished but I felt good.

Long run in Provo! I ran with some of the BYU girls. We ran hobo loop backwards and then I added more. I felt fine, just tired. And now as I am seeing my total for the week, I am one mile ahead. Darn- I could have saved myself 8 minutes earlier this week.
