| Track workout with the running club. This was fun. I haven't been to the track for about 2 years. We did 1 mile warmup, 2 laps of stretches and strides. Them 6x800m w 400 m continuous jog recovery, then 6xbleacher stairs and 1 mile cool down
I had to slow down on my last 4 since I started out too fast on the first 2 and was tired.
my 800s were: 3:27, 3:27, 3:35, 3:43, 3:38, 3:40
I guess I can work on consistency here. Running up the bleachers was tough after this and my legs felt like the end of a marathon- I guess that's why they do this

| Recovery run alone around web hill. My legs were pretty tight at first, but loosened up ok. Ave pace- 9:24. I'm glad I decided to not to go to snow canyon today, I think that would've been too much today.

| We were in lake Las Vegas for a retreat that Paul put on. So I woke up early and ran around the lake with 2 people for 7 miles, then, when we got back, I met up with another friend to go another 5.5 miles. This was a fun, social morning run and the miles went by quickly even with all the hills. Ave pace 9:15

| Track workout at DSU with the running club.
Today was super windy on the backstretch, but I guess the wind helped push me foward on the homestretch.
The workout was: 1600 warm up, 800 of stretches, jogging, & strides
800 - 3:38, 400 recovery
1600 - 7:12 400 recovery
800 - 3:26, 400 recovery
1600 - 7:09, 400 recovery
800 - 3:26, 400 recovery
Bleachers - 5x, then 1200 cooldown
I did a little better than last week. Actually my slowest interval was the first 800, and I was able to do the rest just a little faster and stay consistent. I am still not super fast, but I think this track work will help me a lot. This was a lot of fun, too. I met a girl on the track going about my pace and we ran the last 2 800s together and the second 1600. There was also an older guy that ran our 2nd mile repeat with us. It was cool - it felt like teamwork as we helped eachother out. This reminded me of my high school track days.

| I ran the Bloomington trails with Annie. I planned on getting at least 12 miles in today, but just as I was about to leave, Annalise was crying so I had to settle her back down to sleep. I didn't have to to finish the whole 12 because I had to pick up my bountiful basket. Very pretty morning here along the river! AP 8:40

| Track workout:
warmup & stretches- 1.5 miles
then 12 intervals: either 300 w bleachers or 400s. I think I did about 6 or 7 with the bleachers, 100 m recovery after the bleachers, 200 recovery after the 400s
My pace for these laps wasn't much better than my 1600s last week- I think those stairs kinda wore me out there in the middle. here were my ave paces per lap:
6:23, 6:47, 7:02, 6:55, 6:58, 7:10, 7:11, 7:05, 6:51, 7:12, 7:06, 6:51
great workout

| Snow canyon. It was so pretty in the canyon. I love when it gets light enough to see the pretty views coming down the canyon. I was pretty slow heading up the canyon with tired legs from the track, but we had a good pace coming down most of the time under 8:00 pace coming down

| I ran with Doug up Big Cottonwoid Canyon. We met at his house and it was really raining, so I borrowed a hat. We met Paul H at the park & ride and then ran up about 4 miles with him. We ran about another 2.5 and Doug let me wear his watch and run up ahead a little. Pretty slow but steady pace heading up. We ended up climbing about 3000 feet on this run! After I turned around, we sped up. The first mile coming down was about 8:30, then we kept getting faster and faster. Doug had taken some caffeine and I think it must have hit him just as we turned around. I don't have the split details because I wasn't wearing a watch, but I know we did 3 miles under 7:00 pace and 2 under 8:00. Doug actually got his fastest 5k on his watch during that run at 20:36! I held back a little before that point and did not keep up the 6:30 pace with Doug. Plus, I had to stop and text Andrew because he was helping with the baby. This was a great run. I loved the rain to keep us cool, too. The mountains were so green and beautiful and the river was running fast and high. This almost makes me want to do either the big cottonwood half or full marathon. My left it band was pretty tight after this run, so I took a few days off.

| Tempo Run with the St George Running Club. This week has been kind of crazy since I was in SLC and didn't have anyone to watch the kids Mon or Tuesday morning, then Wed I was just too tired to wake up and run. So, I haven't run since Saturday. Today's run was very challenging, but I enjoyed it. We did a slow 1.5 mile warm-up, then the tempo was 5 miles, then I just did 1 mile cooldown since I had to get back to help Paul with an event he was putting on. It was pretty hot this morning even at 5:30 - about 76 degrees, but i think it cooled to about 73 by the time we were done. My splits for the 5 mile tempo were: 7:28, 7:54, 7:40, 7:46, 7,43(with a hill). I felt like I did ok considering I haven't tried running a tempo run like this for a long time. Hopefully it will get easier for me to hold these paces.

| I met a bunch of friends to do the loop around Sugar Leo and the Bloomington River Trail. This wasn't as relaxed as "Fun Fridays" normally are. This was a little challenging to push the pace after yesterday's workout. My legs were pretty tired from that tempo run, but I was able to hang with the slower group and even chat with them while running. Ave pace: 8:10 for the 5.25 miles.
About an hour after I got back, I took all the kids over to the Deseret Hills Track and a few neighbors came and some other friends. I ran a lap with Alex and Austin, pushing the jogging stroller. (I am totally counting that .25 in my mileage-haha). The kids ran a couple laps to warm up, then we did a few 100m races, then we went up the the upper soccer field and played a few games like freeze tag, red rover, red light/green light. Our idea here is to get the kids out moving around and just have fun. I think they enjoyed it and we will try to do this once a week this summer in addition to swimming for exercise for the kids.

| Nice run, relaxing pace. Beautiful morning and not too hot yet here in SG. Ave pace 8:52 my legs were tired from the past 2 days, but I think this run help loosen them up a little.
