Running for an audience of One

Speed today with average pace 8.20

a few stops on this run - should have brought water and some fuel - half a banana before I went out wasn't enough! 

ran home from walking freeman park for a work function. realized how hungry I was at that point and simply skipped my planned run and headed for home! 

Drove up to Ammon cemetery ran 2.5 up (25 minutes) then back down in the rain (19 min) felt great - getting stronger, going longer! Rex ran & Cathy ran from hospital to practice her leg one! Proud of her

felt a pull in my left inner thigh - up by my rear :) a few days ago (hence three days off). Ran this morning, sort of felt it on my walk into my neighborhood, but felt just fine on my run! 

Went out @ 4:30 in the afternoon - WIND blowing and 80 degrees. Ran the following splits - 8:29, 8:49 straight into the wind, stopped for water around the river and stretched then 8:14 for mile 3. Stopped, drank and gathered myself up to run from boat docks all the way up Grandview and around into my neighborhood. Felt amazing to push it! That last mile was 8:15 pace. Overall, feel good and have my eyes set on starting to train with the Handson's training method. I would like to shoot for a marathon - Top of Utah. 

beautiful run this morning, legs felt heavy from last nights speed work out run - happy to be running healthy!! 

Father's day run with Rex! Beautiful morning - National Yoga day as well as Summer Soltice! 

went to Skyline track with Rex this morning for my first day of speed training! Warmed up for a mile then ran 12 400's with 400 recovery jog inbetween. I only clocked my speed 400's and the 12 of them averaged 7:37 pace. Feel pretty good - nice stretching afterwards, could have cooled down for a mile or two, but was ready to get going on my day! 

Warmed up a mile - then tempo for 3 miles at 8:25 pace then walked for half a miles (bad chest cold) then ran last three quarters mile in. Really stinks being sick in summer - hope I'm good to go on Saturday for the bone relay!

Got up early to run 1.34 mile shake out to see how my lungs were doing. I have been sick the second half of this week and was worried that I wouldn't be able to run today. 

Ran leg 8 of Bone 2 Back relay it was 95 degrees when Rex passed off to me - the first 2.5 down the hill was great and beautiful with a breeze. THEN in town, no breeze, the hit was coming off the road in waves and I had to do a jog/walk for a bit combo to finish out. Sandra Dunn's husband, Denis, stopped to soak my head and shirt with cold water, that seemed to revive me a little - but I still \took it easy! So proud of our Compass Academy team. I truly love each one of them and all we have been through in the past three years. I'm excited for my new adventure next year, but will miss my beloved peeps for sure! 

It brings me relief to log odd milage - we were in the car a lot driving or walking/hiking in Yellowstone yesterday; so I went for a shake out run. Then in the afternoon I completed a 60 minute yoga with stretch/strength and some balance poses. SOOOOOO good to be back doing yoga. My challenge to myself is yogaeverydamnday in July (had to jump start it today) Hope to see core and arm strength return like it was when I was teaching yoga during second trimester this last year. Five days a week, twice on two of those days!
