Wednesday Workout - Run

Today I did a very light run. I ran just over 3.5 miles at a 9:15 average pace. This is a rest week to get ready for the Century in 3 days.

Tomorrow - sleep in and rest my legs :)

Tuesday Workout - Spin

My legs finally felt fine while on the bike this morning. We did some great endurance interval sets followed by a 15 minute endurance hill climb. Hopefully the fact that my legs didn't burn means I'm rested enough for the century this weekend.

Tomorrow - easy run 4 miles

Saturday Workout - Biking

We needed to get in about 30 miles on Saturday so Timmy and I did Southfork. We only got half way up the canyon though because it was pouring rain and we were drenched and didn't want to go downhill on slick roads. As soon as we got out of the canyon the rain stopped. My legs were still really tired - I'm guessing from the 75 miler still which worries me a little.

Monday - easy run

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.
