Definitely a rest day. Every now and again my work schedule detroys me and I don't even feel like running.  Now that's when I know I'm tired.  I am taking all afternoon/evening to catch up on rest and homework...and then sheer laziness when James get home from work. :)  I love spring break.   My self won't let me sleep any longer, so it's a "still in my PJ's with no plans to get ready, will be in my bed with my laptop or watching TV the rest of the day" kind of day.  We were going to go see Tangled for the Dollar Theater's discount Tuesday (isn't that funny that they have discount days? :)), but I don't even have it in me to pick out an outfit!  I still haven't even unpacked from St. George yet, that is so embarrassing!  It will have to wait until tomorrow.  

Hope you're all doing well.  Happy Running! :)

  • 7.6 easy miles

Saw a few students a couple times along the loop at the U who must have been doing some sort of blindness awareness activity (they had those white sticks and their eyes were blind-folded).  They were having difficulty knowing when to cross the street and you could tell they were scared out of their minds of getting hit by a car that wasn't paying attention (heck, I'm scared of getting hit by a car because I wasn't watching well enough and I can see).  Real blind people make all of that seem so easy!!  But these guys made me realize how hard it really is and I am even more grateful for my sight!

  • 6 miles to the gym (up around the zoo then down 21st south)
    • mile 3 we'll call marathon pace since it was downhill (8:00 mins)
    • mile 5 was tempo pace (downhill) at 7:35 mins
  • Weightlifting until James got off work and came to pick me up!

Felt great!  No achilles issues whatsoever during or after the run.  Can't wait to start building up my speedwork now that I know it can handle it.

*I'm writing this at work on my lunch break tonight.  We were almost out the door to go see Tangled (finally) when I got a call from work asking if I could come in.  This is my 2nd overtime shift this week...things are REALLY busy here right now, lots of babies.  We decided that we'd split my overtime money from tonight's shift and buy whatever we wanted, what a rarity!!  I immediately knew what I was going to buy with my newfound money... NEW RUNNING SHOES!  We'll try again for Tangled tomorrow night.

  • 14.75 miles on the JRP w/ Matt, 9:34 avg pace
  • quick 30 min weightlifting session afterwards at 24 Hr Fitness

Good to be back on the JRP after 3+ months!  Super excited for bigger mileage weeks to come as we get closer to Ogden.  I think my achilles will be fine as long as I keep it on the slower side.  It was a little tight in the last half of the run, but it feels great now after some stretching/rolling/eccentric lifts. 

Thanks for sticking with me Matt, I know it was a really slow pace!  I feel honored that I was with him on his biggest mileage week ever!!
