Went out for a nice easy road run. It was really good. I did pretty well on speed. I really need to start to convince myself to push it but I get into my rhythm. The one thing about me getting into a rhythm is that it feels like I could go as far as I wanted doing that pace. 

Tomorrow morning will be a nice trail run. I am looking forward to that with the utmost delight.

Mountain bike night. Mueller Park, awesome ride. Crazy busy. I was at the top at least 5 minutes on my own. The rest of the group showed up. The ride down was slow because of all the traffic. Put the bike in the trunk and climbed in the car, just then a downpour of rain. Perfect timing. 

Another awesome tuesday ride.

Little Cottonwood trail, awesome. I am terrible at uphill! Practice, practice, and more practice.

 

*Edit

 After the run went and hike the paved 1.5 mile trail up to timpanogus cave and took the tour with Opera. It was awesome. Oh then we flew kites, that is right, we are awesome!!!

Pipeline with jun, I was losing energy towards the end. My pace came way down but I did run the whole thing this time. WOOT WOOT! Jun wanted to stretch his legs and on the way back left me in his dust. Oh to be a faster runner. Jun got some really nice pictures from the trail though. It was a wonderful morning. My legs are jello now though.

Did the treadmill today, just wanted to make my legs move. Trail running has made the treadmill feel pretty easy. I kept a great pace for me and my legs felt good. I wanted to see if I could maintain a sub 25 minute 5k pace for 2 miles, I was just over. By the end of June i would like to do a 5k in less than 25.

Went to the gym, ran on the treadmill. It was not super fun but I wanted to lift weights. I kept a good pace. I am still not able to keep the sub 25 minute 5k pace. I guess practice practice practice.

I thought I was in trouble when about half a mile into the run I miss judged the depth of a puddle and soaked both my feet. I thought to myself that I should just walk home carefully and try not to get any blisters. I pressed on squishy shoes and all. after about another half mile my feet felt as dry as ever. I finished the run and got home without any nastiness. I love socks that work, these things are greatest ever!!!!

4 very slow miles today. Had Opera with me and two dogs. The dogs were very distracted. Stops were frequent. At least I got some miles in, I will try to run fast tomorrow. :)

I decided to get out and run the Little Cottonwood trail today. The heavens must have agreed. I drove up in the rain, ran in the sun, drove home in the rain, and heard thunder and I assume would have seen lightning after I got out of the shower. The weather was perfect and cool. 

I made myself a challenge to run the whole thing, no matter how slow I ended up running. I didn't run to the very top but about a half mile past the pipe you have to cross. I felt really good, I did stop twice but refused to walk so I stretched for a few seconds and was back at it. The way down was fast and fun. I was only passed by a couple of mountain bikers and saw quite a few other runners. It was a great trail. I am just glad I got out and did the run before I had an excuse not to.

Pipeline, SWEET!!!!!

Jun and I did the pipeline this morning, we saw many road cyclists a few mountain and 5 or so runners. Sunrise driving in was great, the run was good.

Happy Tuesday!

Trail run with jun. I was slow and winded. Looks like taking a week off for Lake Powell was great for my sanity but hurt my running. I think I may get out again this evening to stretch my legs and give my lungs some work. 

 

*Edit to add 6.1 more miles in the evening. It was warm.

Went to the gym to run on the treadmill. I was sick of running in the heat so I decided to push my self a little on the treadmill. I decided that when I was running it would not be below an 8:30 min/mile pace. The pace is getting easier but I still can only maintain the pace for about 15 minutes before I feel like I am going to pass out. Overall my pace was 9:12 min/mile. I am a little slower than before my vacation but hope soon it will be easy again. I really want to get a sub 25 minute 5k this summer meaning I am shooting for more like a 8 min/mile pace but baby steps to the goal I suppose.

There was nothing easy about any of the miles!! Jun lead me up to another peak, this time Mt. Baldy. It was awesome! My weakness is obvious, I have got no lungs at altitude. I suffered the entire way and made the trip take longer than it should have. I appreciate jun for waiting for me, he should have just made me drive to the top so he could get home on time.

A nice run on the treadmill. I am a wuss when it comes to the higher temps we have been experiencing. Running inside seems like a more enjoyable activity. I need to get back up into the mountains, I just wish I wasn't such a terrible hill runner so I could go a little faster. Maybe Wednesday I will get out in the mountains and enjoy some cooler temps.

Another successful Tuesday night ride. We did the Solitude loop. There is a race on this loop every Wednesday night this summer but for our Tuesday night ride it went very smoothly.
