I had no intentions of racing today, my legs are sore from some squats I did on thurs. and I am still tired from last weeks race.  I did this race to support the make a wish foundation, my daughter is the make a wish child for this event.  It was a very cold and windy morning.  I ran most of the race with Mckenzie and Holly just talking the whole way, then I took off so I could beat all the youth in my ward that were there.  Can't let them beat me and there was still one of them in front of me at 2.5.  My garmin clocked it a perfect 5k.

Met at Maries to run with the gals.  We did a loop down into provo, when we got to timpview a girl comes running up to us asking if she could join.  We said sure and it turned out to be Emily Bates, it was good to meet her and be able to run for a bit.

Met Rebecca at TV and did a 4 mile tempo, did this same tempo a couple of weeks ago.  I like this one because it has some uphill as well as some good down.  1st mile has the most up in it but each mile has some of both.  Felt good.  7:21, 6:50, 6:46, 6:35  27:38/6:53

Woke up early and started from my house and went to the canyon and back.  I was alone and didn't feel that great.  After getting home I developed a migraine.  The kind where my vision goes weird that I have gotten on runs before.  Kind of weird and annoying anyway I don't know if this is why I didn't feel good running or not.

1:51:46/8:25  I really thought my avg. would be about a 9 mm.

Met with Marie, Rebecca and Julie with the plan do to 2x2 miles at hm pace.  Well the whole run was a bit of a tempo for me but I felt pretty good so it wasn't to horrible.  the last 4.5 the pace was close to 7 mm a couple just below and one above that was up the center street hill.  But I felt good about it when I finished.  Keeping up better than before, which is a good feeling.

Met Melody and Amanda at Marie's and we all headed  to the canyon.  We met Julie and Melanie but the were to fast so we all stayed together and for the most part I stayed up.  I have just decided I am not really running that much behind so I need to suck it up and just run a bit faster.  The way up the canyon we did a 8 mm and the way down it was about 7:20's so the avg. was 7:48.  Then I cooled down with Melody to her house and added on a bit more.  I would have finished the full 15 but I had only 10 mins to get home so I didn't.

1:57:24 for the whole run.

Warmed up from my house to the Rec center and then warmed up some more with Melody and Amanda.  Again i wasn't registered for the race so I didn't really push myself but i am kind of done with that for the year.  I did get  a good tempo run out of it though.  

1-6:57 started kind of far back so I got stopped up by the runners

2-6:40

3-7:02 I always have a hard time on this mile

4-6:42

Then I ran home.  Ate lots of good food:)

Met Melody, Marie and Allie at the mouth of the canyon.  We ran really easy up (8:40) and then about 7:20 down the canyon.  I dropped them off back at the mouth after 8 mile and added on down to Will's and then up to 8th east and back to the canyon.  When I got back I was at 14 so I went up the canyon a half mile to finally get 15 miles on a saturday.  for 5 miles kept the pace at mp for me 7:25, 7:24, 7:22, 7:27, 7:11 felt good until 13 and then I was tired.

1:59:35/7:58

My plan for the next month is to cut back on mileage but still keep my long runs at 10-15 miles.  And do lots of strength training and Yoga so I can start training for Boston come Jan and not be burned out.

Didn't wake up to my alarm, i haven't done that in years.  So I was on my own for an easy 5 miler with no watch.  I love mornings the sunrise was so pretty and it lasted the entire run.
