legs of lead

Work --> Liberty --> work with Carol. Both of us had legs of lead. We were both very tired, and it was quite warm this morning (73*). Absolutely shocking is that our pace was 11:20mpm ?!?!?!?
That makes me VERY happy. Being DONE with the run makes me equally happy!

Bad slug! Bad, bad!

After being a slug for 4 days, Carol and I got out for an almost 6-miler today @ 11:34 mpm. We ran to Liberty, 2 laps, and back to work. Vegas relay is in less than two weeks! Yikes! No more yutzing around!

another Sugarhouse

run with Co-worker Carol to Sugarhouse, one lap and back to work - we took a lot of walk breaks because we were both tired, but our pace was better than our flat run yesterday - odd because today we had hills and a longer distance!

just a run

another good run with co-worker Carol - she is fun to run with and really pushes me to not be so lazy - we took four 15-20 second walk breaks when I normally would have taken at least three full minute breaks - it's a good thing.

I suck at "plans"

Another run with Co-worker Carol. I did NOT do my afternoon run yesterday (to approximate the relay conditions), but she did. So we only ran a 4.5 @ 11:33 mpm pace (work to Liberty one lap and back to work). I'll run a 5 this afternoon to make up for my missed workout. It won't be quite the same as race conditions, but it will still be 15 miles in 32 hours, so it's close.

Vegas Relay plan

5.5 mile run with co-worker Carol at 11:41 mpm pace. We went to from work to Sugarhouse Park and back with one lap in the park. We're both going to run again tonight and again tomorrow morning to better approximate the relay experience as we agree that it was the three runs in two days that really wiped us out during the Wasatch. We're both going to do this every Thursday/Friday for the next three weeks. Then, it's Vegas! Yikes! We still don't know what legs of the race we will be running, but sure to find out soon.

and by "getting back into it" I mean, I'll run once in a week...

NICE pace today especially considering that I haven't run for about a week. 11:08 mpm for 4.5 miles (work --> Liberty --> work). Felt like I needed to push it because 1) I just committed to the Vegas Ragnar Relay. 2) I haven't run for a week. 3) I was about two minutes into the run and there was a huge lightening bolt and an extremely loud clap of thunder (yes, I should have turned around, but I'm still alive, and I ran faster because of it).
