BACK TO WORK

PM had a huge nap which wasn't originally part of the plan.  I must be getting old, because I sat down and next thing I knew it was an hour and a half later.

Ran LV elem/bloomington hills loop today.  It was  a good relaxed run.  The ITB is completely healed at this point.  I haven't been on the road bike for over three weeks.  Hopefully, the last adjustment on the clipless pedals has stopped the problem.

PM Had to pick Suzy up from v-ball tonight.  I have to say, she is getting dang good.  She sets for the SUVA club team and they went up last week and won the tourney in  SLC.  I haven't had a chance to watch her since last year, but I did watch to last few minutes of practice tonight.  They are good!

Anyway, went from there to New Beginnings with her.  Laurie's freshman b-ball team is playing @ HHS, so I got to take suzy on my own.  It was quite fun.  We sat in the back and laughed at ourselves.

I decided I wouldn't take a day off as originally planned, but it was raining, so I went to the high school treadmill.  1st mile 8:15/2nd 6:48/3rd 6:21/4th 6:07/5th 7:40.  Nice fast miles in the middle as a small tempo. 

PM got out a little late and just as the sun was going down.  Ran St. James to trailhead and back on river road.  A ggod upbeat pace after the tempo yesterday.  (averaged 7:29) Felt decent except a little tightness in my calves and the beginnings of shin splints.  My yellow bostons have run out now.  That means I only have one pair of the old faithfuls left.  I haven't really found anything that I like as much as them.  I ordered some Brooks Uglies, so we'll see if they do the trick.  The Pearls are quite sloppy and I feel like they take away spring through my step.  I will wear them through the 400 miles, but won't buy them again. 

PM Track today for the kids.  Mark and Gianna showed.  They did striders, then out and back (30 Minutes) and core work.

I had to pick up Kire from guitar. 

Then my run on the track.  I did 800 intervals with 400 recovery today .  I was slow but I finished all four. 

1 mile @ 7:20

1st 800-3:06

2nd 800-3:04

3rd 800-3:01

4th 800-3:04

800 cool down

I got in "lock step" after #2 and could not push ahead.  I harp on not doing too many quality days (fast days) but I don't listen to my own advice.  I am going to get a nice easy 5 in tomorrow without a clock and just enjoy it.

PM Sisalee was going to go get a run in, and Laurie decided to join, so I jumped in at last minute for my long run.  I just went out alone, but it was nice to know they wre out on the trail somewhere.  I did the usual long course except I went off the trail at st. james and then ran home.  It was a nice run.  I was little faster than I normally go, (7:39 overall) but no problems.  Things are going good as a build up to the big race.

AM went out with chad.  He started at his house, but I met him at the dixie center.  We went over the tonaquint hill and the short route around the bloomington loop.  I finished back at the dixie center.  I feel okay.  It was a much bigger mileage week than the weeks before, so I think I will go back down to 25 including the stake 10K on saturday.
