Run Happy

A 45 minute workout of stadium stairs and running the back 200 on the track.  I keep hoping at some point I will feel an improvement, but I steel feel old and slow.

I completed 2.46 miles and the walk breaks brought the average time to 19:02/mi.

Another run of the Cabela's loop.  As much as I wanted to complete the Traverse Mountain Blvd stretch without walking, I gave in and walked.  Getting passed at the Outlets by a runner I could hear shuffling behind me did me in mentally.  The 3.14 mile loop took 40:42 at 12:58/mi pace. 

Mile1- 10:47, Mile 2- 14:17, Mile 3-14:14

I've never been a sprinter.  So this sprint workout with the Launch Team tested me to say the least.  Jaymison and I got there after the rest of the team had completed their first lap.

I got 7 laps of run 200 walk 200.  Even though I was last each lap it was good to get the heartrate up and I appreciated the motivation from Austin Hinckley a teammate of James that was there and recognized me.

Ran Suncrest with Brynn :)  So good to run downhill to complete my milage.  I was very grateful for the construction porta potty part way down.  Total time was 58:44 at 11:04/mi pace.

Mile 1- 10:58 Mile 2-10:27 Mile 3-11:38 (potty break) Mile 4-10:03, Mile 5- 10:43

Overall a good solid run.  I need more of these before race day in just over 50 days.

Launch team run on Murdock trail east.  I ran part of the time a new athlete, Cayden.  It was his first practice and he did well.  I don't think he walked.  At Center street I went back for Jaymison, because knowing the mental conflict when you at at the end I didn't want her to give up.  I thought I lost her when I ran further at the turn around point, Jaymison stopped at the overpass past smith's marketplace and Cayden and I kept going until my garmin read 3 miles.  We eventually caught up to Jay but it was harder than I anticipated.
