It was warm enough to run outside again today (27 degrees)!  Kirkway (8 miles)  then came home and toasted our outer layers in the dryer while we ate a banana and orange.  Next, put on a fresh longsleeved t-shirt and did Franklin out -in back (4 miles) and then Echo out-in-back (4miles).  Aubree fell on an ice patch but is thankfully OK.

Cheryl convinced me to get the speed workout done on Monday.  I listened to Elder Nelson's talk from last conference about the amazing gift of our human bodies.  It was a good talk to listen to while I cranked up the speed!!  It feels great hitting my week straight on!

10 min warm up

10 min @10k pace (I start at my slow range and increase each minute. 7:45 - 7:00 pace)

5 min recovery

10 min @ 10k pace

5 min cool down

It was sunny again and in the 30s!  Perfect day for running outside.  We ran on the roads an occasionally on sidewalks that were shoveled.

Clothing -hat, gloves, sunglasses, tank, long sleeve shirt, fleece, windbreaker, two layers of running tights, wool REI socks.

Aubree called this run a TOUGH MUDDER!  We purposely avoided dirt roads and still ran through mud, puddles, slush, ice, snow, potholes, soggy grass, and quick sand!  It was around 36 degrees and had to take advantage of the warm weather!

ROUTE- ran through the neighborhoods unitl Kirkway and ran those hills twice.  Then we ran on Long Lake to Orchard Lake to Walnut Lake to Franklin back home.  16.66

We had to finish on the treadmill because we ran out of time.  Mark was a saint and watched Miles (blow out and everything) and then picked Hayden up so Aubree and I could get more miles in.  

NUTRITION- we ate a banana and split an orange at mile 10.  I ate a sanwhich, lots of pickles and drank about 1/4 cup of pickle juice before I finished 3/34 on the treadmill

PACE- first 16.66 pace average 9:15, second 3.34 pace average 8:33

warm up - 10 min

3x 10min tempo with 5 min recovery

cool down- 3 min (I always really cut the cool down because i just want to be finished)

I tried pushing myself a little.  i wanted to see if I could run closer to summer paces.  I was hard but I've got to start increasing my pace as the roads thaw and the sun starts coming out more.  My pace range for the tempo was 7.7 to 9.0 on the treadmill.

treadmill again.

I warmed up and gradually increased my speed for the first 2 miles until the lower end of marathon pace.  I continued to increase every .25 or .5 miles until 7:47 pace and then lowered down to around 8:00/8:15 pace.  I forced myself to cool down for at least 1 mile!  Wha-hoo!  Overall time was just under 70minutes.

We ran outside!  Only a couple of slippery spots.  The snow banks are starting to melt and we were able to run on sidewalks for part of the way.  :)  Franklin loop, neighborhood loop, Kirkway loop.  Aubree and I were only going to run 17 miles but wanted to keep talking so we ran an extra mile for the fun of it!

It was hard waking up this morning because I was up 3 times last night.  I'm glad this workout is over though.  The second set was harder for me and I jumped to the side a couple of times.  

warm up - 1 mile

2x 15 @ 10k pace with 5 min recovery inbetween.  I started at 7:41 and increased to 6:37.  The second set I went up to 6:40 and then dropped back down to 7:13 pace.  :0

cool down- .5 mile

I wasn't able to complete my 8 miler today because I needed to do an airport run.  I guess 1 mile is better than nothing!
