Went to the Legacy Parkway to run with the SDRR I had planed to run 4 miles before and then 6 with the group.  I got lost and arrived just 10 minutes before the rest of the group.  I ran just the 6 miles.  I think I must be low man on the miles board but I am cool with that!

Splits 8:08, 8:54 (funny story with this mile but too funny to put on the blog sorry) 8:35, 9:09, 8:37, 8:35

This run seemed to tire out my quads more than normal.  This is a flat route and I am wondering if when I run the hills they give my quads a rest?

Push-up tonight

1% incline 8X400 meter repeats @ 7:30 100 meter rest sprinted the last 100 meters at a 9.0 speed (not sure what pace that is) it was fun to go that fast...wish I could do it longer. 

No time to lift today Wedding Day.  Of to get my hair done etc.  I will post pictures if I ever learn how.

6 miles on the elliptical.  I used the machine that make it more of a speed workout rather than strength.  I think I will rotate every other week and see how that goes.

Lifted for legs - really tried to thrash them today so I can see how well I can run 10 miles tomorrow on tired legs.

Yoga class

As per Rhett's comment yesterday you must all refer to me as AnneD from now on thank you!

When out early to meet up with the SDRR I ran four miles before they came.  There were a lot of new people here today.  We had  long introductions before we started.  I am not sure how to evaluate this run.  With a 15 minute break in between I am not sure how it help my endurance training.  It didn't feel like a 10 mile run more like a four mile run followed by a six mile run.  I did met up with a Davis County police officer and ran the last three miles with him.  He was a really nice guy and pushed me hard for those last few miles. 

Splits: 8:34, 8:21, 8:27, 8:32, 8:24, 8:28, 8:39, 8:51, 8:39, 8:58

After went to the SDRR mingle, met some really nice people.

Nothing - Migraine again... I need to find the cause of these and why they always show up when I want to do a hard work out.

6 miles on the elliptical 11% resistance 45:11

Lifted for legs - My legs were already sore from spin yesterday so I though I might as well lift hard and get them really strong, I will tell you if this was a good idea tomorrow!

Yoga - I am totally centered and at peace... I am sure this will end when the kids come home from school.

I had  an odd run today.  A lot of little issues made it hard to determine whether it was a good run or not.  I want to run it slower than last week.  I have felt like I am pushing my long runs a little too hard.  I wanted to run most of the miles around 9:15-9:30

issues:

1) Set the wrong alarm so I got up late... could only run 3.3 miles before the group started rather than 4.

2) On the way to the  group run I passed an old man stopped in the middle of the road I couldn't tell if he was passed out or just looking down, I was late so I just went by.  During the whole run I wondered if he was in trouble and I should have stopped!

3) While waiting with the group I accidentally pushed the lap button on my watch so the splits will be off.

4)Ran the last two miles with at runner from our group, she seemed to be really struggling and I could just pass her so those miles were really slow.

Anyway with that in mind here are the splits.

Splits: 8:44, 4:13?, 8:24, 6:57?, 8:38, 8:46, 8:49, 8:55, 8:58, 9:39, 10,58

Like I said it is hard to evaluate I think I ran the first part too fast but it is hard to tell because I ran the last part so slow that I feel really good now.

3 EZ miles.  Last year in the Wasatch Back the heat killed me.  For my run today I waited until 12:30 to go running so I could run in the heat of the day even thought it was not that hot out today.  The heat did bother me a little bit but the steel cut oats I had for lunch about killed me.  I wanted to go 5 miles today but at 1.5 miles I was worried I wouldn't make it home!  I made it home but I still feel sick.  Note to self  NEVER RUN ON STEEL CUT OATMEAL!!!!!!!

Splits 8:45, 8:53, 9:02

No spin today,

My dog was up all night afraid of the wind.  The vet said she has dementia.  We have put her on medication, it doesn't seem to help.  I think it is time to put her down but it is so hard when you love your dog so much.  She can't walk and is afraid of everything now.  I know I am keeping her alive more for me than anything else but what if she gets better next month....

6 miles elliptical 11% resistance in.... wait for it....wait for it..... 41:23.  Yes you read right my legs felt great today and I totally kick butt.  I think it is because I couldn't do spin yesterday. 

Lifted for legs - Because my legs felt so good I lifted harder

Yoga

I think I will run a ten mile route tomorrow that I have not run in a while and see how much time I have cut. Here are the splits from the last two times that I ran it way back in November.

9:20, 8:57, 9:14, 9:01, 9:29, 8:52, 9:36, 9:49, 10:11, 11:28

9:14, 8:59, 9:14, 8:48, 9:29, 9:00, 9:37, 11:17, 9:37, 11:12

I hope to be able to run it a little faster and do better on the hills at the end.

wish me luck!

4.5 miles at 8:20 1% incline.  I started the run feeling a migraine coming on last night.  I almost stayed home but then I thought if Rhett could run a marathon with a torn PF then I could run a tempo run with migraine.  Funny thing around two miles the migraine when away.  They always seem to come on Mondays the day after my rest day.  Maybe I truly am addicted to running and the headaches are just me going through withdrawal.  If running is the cure I am so for it!

5 ez miles - legs were very sore at first but it all seemed to work out near the end.

Have any of you heard about a line of products called Enlyten?  A neighbor of mine is a distributor and has asked me to try them.  They are like the breathe strips that you put in your mouth but instead of fresh breath they give you energy or replenish your electrolytes.  I tried them just today and think they are OK.  I will try them again on my long run on Saturday.  They are very small so I see a big advantage if they work

This was not a good training day for me.  Legs felt tired right when I woke up.  I had carpool today so I got to the gym late but I was still going to try and run 5 miles at race pace and then go to spin late.  It was not to be, at mile 1.5 I was already using mind game to stay on the treadmill.  I had only gone ONE mile at race pace.  By the time I was at 4 miles I was done both mentally and physically.  I had 10 minuets before class so I lifted for my hamstrings and then went to class.  I couldn't get my heart rate up in class at all.  I almost threw my monitor across the room, but that would be childish and I am an old lady after all.  Any way not sure what I am going to do tomorrow I am scheduled to do 3 EZ miles and then spin.  I don't like feeling this way so close to OGDEN!

Spin class - I forgot that they were going to have a 90 minute class today.  They (we had two teachers) really pushed us hard.  It felt good though after yesterday.  I am glad I stayed.
