Friday Workout - Tempo Run

Yesterday I woke up with a pounding headache so I slept in. I went for a quick bike ride around 5:00 pm with Todd and Timmy. We did about 18 miles all flat by the lake. It felt good going out then when we turned around we hit a headwind...UGH! No wonder I felt so good going out.

This morning we did a tempo run. 5 miles total. 1 mile warm up - 3 miles at 8:20 pace - 1 mile cool down. I felt good on the run and the tempo is getting easier every week.

Tomorrow - bike ride

Memorial Day 10K

Me, Jill and Jen

I did my first 10K on Saturday. The run felt good. We kept it right around 8:40 pace. Drank at miles 2, 4, and 5 (just a sip each time) and did shot bloks at mile 3. My legs felt good the whole race.

Today's Workout - Run 8 miles

This morning started bright and early so we could get 8 miles in before 7:00. (Man I love that it is warm and light out in the mornings). We ran a new loop today out to Will's Pit Stop - down University - the up past Provo High and over to Grandview. I didn't love how long we were on University Ave. but it was a good loop and exactly 8 miles (well....7.99 on the Garmin). I took an Acel Gel at mile 4 and felt pretty good the whole run.

Tomorrow....morning bike ride

Summer Training 2009

I've decided that I'm going to have this blog be a place I can put our weekly training schedule as well as how I feel during and after workouts. We have a lot of events going on right now and I want to keep a journal of them and have something to look back at when I need motivation.
