Distance Ran 2 miles...then another .8
Time of Run = 2 miles at 18.24 (9.12) and .8 at 8 minutes
Route = church and back, + Manchester loop
Whew! Mrs. KJ joined Mrs. HK and I this morning, she was FAST!! We tried our best to keep up with her but she finished our 2 mile about 25 seconds before me. Mrs. KJ had to leave for work at 6:30 so she had a fair amount of motivation. As for me, well I just didn't want to eat too much of her dust...that was my motivation. I ran another .8 after the 1.7 miles to make an even 2.5.
Tomorrow I plan on going to workout with Sarah, or doing pilates or yoga. Thursday means a bike ride with Mrs. HK and Mrs. E, probably 6 or 7 miles. Friday is rest, rest, and more rest. Actually hubbs has the day off and we are going to attend the temple, so I will really rest! Early bed that night, and Saturday I will finish my 10k in UNDER 60 minutes!!! How exciting!

Distance Ran = 6 miles (Ah! I thought it was a full 10k)
Time of run = 66.74 (Ah! 11.12 per mile, I wanted to finish the 10k under 60)
Route = 5k x almost 2 (Ran out of time and had to get veggies)
Hmmm. I didn't quite achieve my goal, but I still did 6 miles, only .2 less than my goal. I was a bit slower than I would have liked, but I gave myself two 1-minute intervals of walking. I will have to either pick up my running pace or cut out those walking intervals. NEXT WEEK I RUN THE 10K!!!

Distance Ran = 2.5 miles (plus a half mile more untimed)
Length of Run = 22.37 (8.95...hello!)
Route = Church route, backwards
I pushed it today! I knew I was only planning on running 2.5 miles so I just gave it my all. The results were my best time ever for this run, under 9 minutes per mile! I'm quite pleased with myself. Mrs. HK ran with me today, she is back from a week long vacation and it's been two weeks since she ran. She kept pace with me the first 1.2 miles and then had a cramp. I kept going, I really wanted to keep pace today. I feel sort of bad about it even though she said it was fine, I just feel like I made a commitment to run with her and I should keep it. I hope she really meant it was fine.
Game plan from here on out:
Sat = 10k run of my own devising. (Under 60 min would be great!)
Monday = Yoga or pilates
Tuesday = 2.5 miles, push pace
Wednesday = Workout with Sarah or Jillian
Thursday = Walk, undetermined length or pace, with Shelly
Friday = Yoga or Pilates
SATURDAY = 10K!!! The goal is to definitely finish under 60 minutes!

Distance Ran = 6.2 miles
Time of Run = 62.58 minutes ( 10.16 per mile)
Route = Church plus 5k to home
I feel great today! My joints aren't as sore as they were on Saturday when I only ran 5 miles. For me running is really a mind game, in order to keep my pace up I just need to give myself pep talks in my head. May sound weird, it's just what I do. In the 10k I need to remember to just focus on my breathing, put on blinders to all of the faster runners around me, and keep myself pumped up. If I can do that I believe that I can finish in under one hour, and I will run the entire 10k. Less than two weeks to go!

Distance Ran = 5 miles
Time of Run = 55.14 (11.03) (boo)
Route = 5k plus 2
I was planning on running a 10k this morning but I was just slow. I ran out of time and I had to cut my run short. Bummer. Next week I plan on running nothing less than a 5k and a full 10k on Saturday.
There's always tomorrow!

Distance Ran = 2.5 miles
Time of Run = 22.89 (9.16!)
Route = Church
Back in the game! I went running alone today and I pushed myself, I would really love to love a 9 minute mile very soon. After my run I did some weights and lunges and now I just feel really great! On Thursday I plan on Running 5 miles, then on Saturday I am going to run 7.5 miles. The weather was beautiful, it was a bit chilly but felt great. I had some wind on the South stretch, I HATE the wind!!! At least I am getting used to having some resistance as it is usually windy going south.

5K Fun Run!
Distance Ran: 5k (3.2 miles)
Time of Run: 29.54 (9.24 per mile!)
Route: Around the neighborhood.
PR!!! This was my first "race" since I have begun running this year. I kind of freaked out a bit in the beginning and overshot the first half mile. Mainly I was trying to get ahead of all of the little kids on bicycles, so I just kind of sprinted. I paid for it thought because I got a side stitch about a mile in that didn't let up for the duration of the race. I also drank too much water beforehand. That always get's me. Anyway, I walked for about 20 yards somewhere near 2.5 miles, but then went back to pace. The last .2 I sprinted...and I made under my goal!!! My goal was 30 minutes, and I did it with 6 seconds to spare.
Next goal: Pioneer day 10K in 58 minutes. It will take a little bit of shaving off my time, but I am going to do it.
