You Can Do It!

Ran on treadmill.  

Ran on treadmill.

My garmin died so I don't know how fast I was running or how many calories I actually burned. Had to cut run short due to unforeseeable circumstances. 

Ran for about 35min on treadmill. Ran into some programming issues with the treadmill, but I think I've got those figured out.

Ran on the treadmill. 5min warm up at 4.5mph, stretch, 30 run at 5.5mph, 5 min cool down stretch.

Average pace 10:40

Wasn't feeling well at all today so even with my workout being on the treadmill I walked most of it.

Feeling somewhat better today. Ran on treadmill

Ran on treadmill. Still not feeling very good but ran through it.

First Leg: What a gorgeous run! Sun just coming up and shining on the red rock cliffs along the river.  Average pace 10:55. 

Second Leg: Very high altitude run from about 7,000 ft to 8,0000 ft in 3.3 miles.  Felt like I couldn't breath. Ran when I could, but walked a lot more than I would have liked.

It was a wonderful challenge. Had an awesome team! Hope I can do it again next year.

Walked on treadmill. Just trying to loosen up the legs after the relay on Saturday and the long ride home on Sunday.

Legs felt good. Ran on treadmill at a pace of 5.0 mph. Wanted to get running in but take it a little slower today in order to allow for more recovery.

Ran on Highland Drive. Averaged an 11:10 mile.

Got up at 3:30 this morning and went to the park for the Relay for Life. Ran 9 miles plus a warm-up and cool-down. It was a beautiful morning for a run. Averaged an 11:08 mile.

First Leg: Coming off the start line was pretty cool. 

Splits: 10:08; 11:16; 10:57; 11:16; 11:05; 11:26; 10:59

Total time: 1:17:05 average pace: 11:09

Second Leg:  Never thought in my life I'd be praying for an up-hill, but after running out of snow basin I was.

Splits: 13:24; 9:24; 9:35; 11:38; 11:19; 11:11; 10:09; 11:30; 7:04

Total time: 1:35:12 average pace: 11:13

Third and Last Leg: I got some sleep but not enough. I felt good starting out but the previous day caught up with me pretty quick. It took all I had to finish.  When I got to the van I collapsed on the seat and didn't move for about thirty minutes.

Splits: 11:31; 12:24; 11:56; 14:17; 14:21; 0:54

Total time: 1:05:21 Average pace: 12:58

Had the hardest time running this morning. Felt like couldn't get a rythem and like I was moving like cold tar. :P 

Ran from Dry Lake down into Mantua, Took a pit stop in Mantua then continued running down the canyon into Brigham City.  Once in Brigham City ran around town for a while in order to get my full time of 2hrs in. I could really use a nap now. :)

Great race today. My goal was to come in around 2:30:00 I made it in 2:24:09. :D Mile 12 was a killer, but I pushed though and just kept going. I took 11:02 off my best time for this race. New PR! I"m very happy with my accomplishment.  I'm also very tired. :)

I don't know if it was smart to run this race a week before St. George, but It was fun. By running this race I was able to give myself a pretty good birthday present, a new PR. :D I took about a minute of my time from last year. I haven't been able to run at less than a 10 min mile and keep that pace since I was in high school, so I'm pretty happy with my time.  

Wow, I beat my goal time by 20 min and my last marathon time by nearly 40 minutes. There were two times in the race that I thought I was in trouble. First time was at mile 5 when I had to take a pit stop. I was already shaky. The second time was at about mile 11 when I started feeling light headed and a bit winded. But I pushed trough and just look at what I accomplished. Now I'm paying the price. Every muscle in my lower body is screaming at me to the point where I can't walk. I can only shuffle, but hey it was worth it. :)

Not the best race of my life. I did not prepare well.  I was actually surprised at how well I did. I forgot my garmin and so I had no way of tracking how fast I was running.  I just know I felt like crap the whole time I was running.
