8 miles. First 30 minutes 8:12 pace. Then did 12x200m at a  6:10 pace. This felt a little easier than last Friday.

8 miles on the river trail. Kept my pace what felt like easy.I actually felt really good considering yesterdays intervals. Im trying to pay more attention to how  I feel when I run each day, and document it. Im also going to get more consistent in running about the same mileage everyday. -which will be 8 miles a day, and a long run once a week.  I am also considering doing two a days a few times a week. just a short, very easy evening run.

Ran 8 miles and my body felt somewhat okay. Sometimes my feet hurt. Today they kind of did. Low back was tight at first. Steps felt quick and light tho.

10 miles. Hips were a bit tight. Other than that, felt pretty good. Ran in a lot of wind. I was getting rained on the first 2 miles. Then it stopped and it was just wind. I think this is my first double digi since I ran UVM. I have no motivation sometimes :/

I woke up to a text from Rachelle (from Sunday night) that said she was running Spanish Fork's speedy spaniard 10k course at 6:15ish. But I woke up at 6. So I threw on my stuff fast as I could, and ran from my house to a road that goes into the Spanish Fork river bottoms. Ran for about 2 miles until I came upon Rachelle and Amber Dunford. So fun! So I ran about 3 miles with them. We had a good time. Once to the finish line, I had to go, so it was about a mile more home. I forgot to start my watch once I had stopped it, so today's mileage is a guess.

I was supposed to meet Rachelle but I am so tired lately that I turn off my alarm in my sleep. I cannot wake up. I am staying up much later than I used too. I just can't wake the same without enough rest. Anyways, woke by 6:10 on my own. Got out and ran 8. My left heel has been hurting for quite some time. PF hurt. Today I noticed my right was hurting slightly too. Great. Other than that, kept a good clipping pace. Nothing tight and I was full of energy at least.

8 miles. I was in a church meeting last night (casual chick meeting more like it) until 11:15. Didn't get to bed until after midnight. I cannot wake up in the mornings. Quick 8 at 8 am Usually I am done by 7. I am not getting the sleep I need this summer. I will have to start getting more boring and strict. ha :)

Went out for my run and got caught in the downpour at 1.5 miles in. I was so so so so soaked. I had on my brand new Brooks Ravennas. Anyone know if shoes get ruined from being that soaked? Its the first day I have worn them and they were soaked completely through. That was a crazy run. My headphones stopped working. I hope my ipod is ok!?

12 miles up canyon road to the Escalante cross trail.  I failed to mention yesterday that I did speed intervals, so today running long felt really hard! I wanted to die the last 2 miles. I don't see how I am going to run a marathon in Sept?!?! I feel like I can barely do a half :(

Really happy with the last 2 weeks now, doing 50+ miles each week. Hope it keeps climbing. I am trying.

Legs were heavy, calves were sore. I was tired. Did first 6 easy, last 2 miles ran hard. Had to dig deep to do it. Seriously, my self confidence is just teetering.

Calves were all balled up when I awoke. So I opted to run flat ground. I don't know what the deal is but I have no energy. Could be that I had low iron (that was checked by my Dr. in March) and I haven't been taking my iron pills at all for like 3 months. I am not sure what the deal is but I don't have the energy to train for TOU. I am seriously seriously thinking about dropping the idea. And just backing off on running. I don't feel well again. 

Somehow managed 7 miles even though I honestly had to stop 3 times to due to low energy and light head. This isn't very fun

7 on the river trail loop with Rachelle and Josse. Good easy run. GREAT chit chat. Love our running chats. Those 2 got to see what a sweaty betty I really am. I was dripping everywhere! This humidity is insane!

9.5 on the boneville shoreline trail in Provo Canyon. Steep the first 1.5, then flattened out and oh my! the views! Ran with JulieC, Cam, Rachelle h& Josse. Rebecca wss there the first 3 miles too. It was pretty rocky, but very runable. Such a great start for the day. Summa! Enjoy now before its gone!
