Rebecca's hubby is a trooper he drove us up to the start, or what we thought was the start of UVM course.  It was Rebecca, Janae, McKenzie and myself.  We were actually about 1.5 miles from the start so when we got to the turn off for the canyon road we went back a mile so we wouldn't have to add on at the end.  The plan was to do some mp stuff.  I just wanted to get a good solid run on the course, which is a killer of up and downs btw.  It is a very tuff course and I need to train to be able to switch gears well.  So a 7.5 mile warm up at 7:38 pace then we started we did this on the toughest section of the course and I was not feeling the greatest but it gives me a starting point and I am ok with it. miles 7:08, 6:52, 6:43, 7:05, 7:05, 7:15 ran this with McKenzie and then we stopped for a drink and just ran the rest but kept it between 7-7:30's for the rest ending with 13.5@7:15 avg pace so a total of 21 miles in 2:35/7:22 avg pace I feel good about that:)

Super tough workout, started at Rebecca's house and warmed up 4 miles to the diagonal. The workout is to run hard up/down with a short recovery at the bottom. The total mileage is .6 up.6 down so 1.2 total. I started out good but legs got tired by the 3rd one but wanted to finish 4. Hopefully this gets easier. Rebecca stayed strong on all of them she is on fire:) 12.5/7:50 avg pace

Had so much fun today! I got to pace ericka for the SLC half for a 1:38 then went and ran Melanie B for the last 3.8 of the marathon she ran strong for the win. So happy and proud if both.  I got an excellent long run in the process with a fast flat finish. Had a 1 mile warmup then 21.1@7:30 avg pace

Jade went into surgery today so up early and ran a very hard ( meaning I had high anxiety so I felt awful) 10 miles. I think I stopped every 2 miles.

Life is crazy right now so I was happy I felt decent on this workout because yesterday was not a good feeling run. Met Rabecca and Janae at Kneaders and we ran 3 miles up the canyon then turned and did 3x2 miles at HMP with half mile recovery. I was behind the girls but I'm ok with that, I still had a good solid workout and finished feeling good. 1st set (most aided) 6:17, 6:20. 2nd set 6:17, 6:24. 3rd (started at the bottom of center st hill and went up then turned and went down finishing at wills) 6:40, 6:30. Then finished with the last 1/2 mile strong at 6:20 pace. 12 miles@7:22 avg pace

hiit with the ladies

20 super sucky miles on the UVM course. This course chewed me up and spit me out or maybe it was the headwind rain, and cold temps, or maybe it was the emotional stress I've been under, or maybe it was my SI joint pain due to starting my period, or maybe it's the higher mileage, or maybe....... But I had a sucky run. My body just didn't corporate and it totally shut down the last couple miles.  7:30 avg pave

This week will be a mileage cut back week (45-50 plus some xtraining) with the Provo half on Saturday. I have no idea how this race will go so I'm just going to go into with the goal to work on Focusing when it gets hard. 

Yoga on my own my mom is sick.

Up/down killer hill repeats. The purpose of these are to teach the legs to shift gears from up to down. This is how UVM course is it has many hard ups followed by a down.  So this is what we do:) Met at Rebecca's early, both of us were not excited for this workout but we warmed up 5 miles and went to work did the first two on center St hill total mileage up/down was .90 did 6:38 and 6:39 pace. Then we went and did the hill opposite of this which is shorter and steeper .60 total x3 did 6:40, 6:40, 6:36 pace in these then we went back to the center st hill and this one was hard I did 6:50 pace.  at the top of the hill I was tired and had a hard time getting my legs to move. I set out to do 5 repeats and did 6 feeling a lot stronger than 2 weeks ago where I felt like this workout was a flop. 13 miles@7:49 avg pace
