I really felt good about my run today. I ran 4.07 miles in 51:15 a 12:36/mi pace. The first mile at 12:32, second mile at 12:41. A quick water stop at the pavillion near 2 miles, then the third mile at 12:55. The fourth and final mile was at 12:23. I don't know what made the run so nice, the overcast weather, the lower millage from last week, the first run of the week, whatever the cause I wish I could bottle it up.

Easy run behind Bryssa and her UVTC teammates. They ran two so I only got in 1.25, but it was a trail run with challenging inclines. I ran with Lucy's mom, Lucy has been injured and felt like running. The total workout was 15:43 and just over a mile at 12:53/mi pace. I hope it makes me stronger.

It was HARD but I finished. The long run of the week was 8 miles. I completed it in 1:57:05 at an average 14:37/mi pace. Mile 1-16:01, mile 2-13:01, mile 3-13:50, mile 4-15:09, mile 5-13:47, mile 6-16:11, mile 7- 14:13, and the final mile8-14:45. I was so glad to have that workout over. I am also grateful to have connected with the Eastmonds which motivated me to jog an incline I probably would have walked otherwise.

I added fartleks to the Cabela loop for my workout today. It was a total of 3.09 miles with 7-8 fartleks, I lost count. I tried to do a pyramid of sorts the first was 30 seconds then 40, then 50, then 60, then 50, 30, 40. I meant to do two 60 second fartleks but can't remember. It took 44:14 total.

Workout with UVTC at art dye park. Ended up being a walk jog more walking than I'd hoped while I stayed with a runner that didn't want to run.

2.6 miles in 41 minutes.

First training run for the half. 6.01 mi in 1:16:51. My pace was 12:47/mi after taking 2 minute walk breaks after 3 miles. It was an OKAY run, didn't hurt but not great.

Brisk walk to break in new shoes. Walked from home to the new elementary school. I'm going to have to get another pair because I really like them and need to rotate.
