I did this race knowing I was not going to PR or have a great race. I did this race just wanting to get my 10 year in and not injure myself in the process. Of course you always hope for some kind if miracle and maybe be able to pull off something great. But that was not in the cards for today. Melaine and myself had said we would run together and just have fun. I ran without a watch so I wouldn't be worrie about how fast or slow I was going. The uphill is  what really was my undoing in this race, by the Winchester hills I was done and was really starting to suffer. My GI system was a mess and by bowels started to wrench at mile 6 so I spent a good 10 minutes in port-o-potties along the course. Made it to the half in 1:40 then had a 5 minute bathroom stop and decided then this was just going to be a race to finish. Melaine kept me going, she was my angle:) then we cought up to Daineille who was having a really hard time, we picked her up and all finished together. A little bit ironic because we all drove down together.

I am going to try a couple new things when I get back to training. One is the 80/20 concept by Matt Fitzgerald. I've always believed and tried to follow the easy days easy and hard days hard but I like how he does it. I also want to forget about mileage and just go for time ( this one will be hard because I love tracking my miles).  I also want to race watch less more, or at least Garminless. I really hope I can get on top of my life and health so I can race well next year.

Spin class. I have been dealing with extreme adrenal fatigue, for this reason I will be taking it super easy until I feel better

lunch time hike with Cole and Brune. Poor mr brune is getting old and he had a hard time. Only because he found a ball that kept going down the mountain and he would chase it straight down super steep stuff and have to get back up. He wouldn't listen to me. Finally he left the ball, but he sounded like he was on deaths door. I felt really bad, luckily we made it back and he got a drink. He'll be wiped out for days. We went 2.6 miles and climbed 900 feet

Week of really easy running

Really easy trail run, keeping my heart rate down. I really want to do the 80/20 thing. 80% really easy and 20% really hard. Need to get a heart rate monitor so I can sure I'm doing it right.  Beautiful day on the trails:)

Was late to spin so only got 40 mins, kept HR 120-130 then went on the treadmill to see what my heart rate is at what pace. I find that my HR doesn't climb all that quickly when I bring the pace down but I have to go about a 9mm to have it stay in zone 1 below a 133 but I can bump it up 2 on the speed and it only raises 2-3 beats I did this holding each time for a min and was able to get down to a 7mm and be 158-160 so zone 4range. I do feel way out of shape. But gives me something to work off of. I can't wait til my zone 1 and 2 are faster. 

8:40 avg

Run with Amanda and Rebecca. It is hard to keep it "easy" while it didn't feel hard and we were talking the entire time my HR was higher than I wanted. But you can do that 20% of the time:)

3 days in a row, that hasn't happen in forever:) my foot is finally filling good, still little aches here and there but about 90-95% I got bio-puncher done on Tuesday and I think that did the trick. My knee is still a bit wonky but that is no biggie. I did my long run today because Gauge is testing for his black belt tomorrow morning. 10 lovely super easy miles with Janae in the MUrock canal. We saw some super cool shooting stars. Then I did yoga and went to spin. Feel good, my fatigue I was feeling tha past 6 weeks is subsiding, it is a wonder what taking good supplements will do for you and 8 hours if consistent sleep.
