by (Bra ((it’s ribbed, and it’s my favorite… go a size up if you order it!), shorts, long-sleeve.
It’s not super normal to run in a sports bra and gloves, but I’ll blame it on my hormones.
I met up with four girls to join them at the track. One is running Boston in a few days, and her final workout was 3 x 1 mile at her marathon pace. I was really excited about that because her marathon pace is just a bit faster than my mile rep pace, so I knew I’d have someone to chase. We did a 3-mile w/u, 3 x 1 mile on the track with 2-minute standing recoveries, and c/d to 11 miles.
My splits were 5:55, 5:57 & 6:01…. My watch ran out of batteries right after the 2nd repeat, so I used the Strava app to track the rest of the run.
Remember, if you are afraid to run with people faster than you (one of these friends just took 12th in the Olympic Trials!!!), don’t. I am light years behind these women in races, but it only inspired me to run faster than if I hadn’t gone with them.
Ummmm, can you think of a better note to wake up to?
Cross-country the day before reminded her how much she loves to run.
I asked her how it went and she responded with a thumbs up🤍
I think Brooke set a world record for creating the smallest paper fortune teller. It took my eyes 4 seconds to even adjust to be able to see it.
Andrew hit an 8-minute PR on an 8-mile mountain biking trail segment that he has done often over the years. That feeling…
And I’m thrilled to be out on my lawn chair, eating popsicles while the kids are riding bikes with their friends. If you ever come to visit Utah, I need you to try Creamies while you are here. They are so creamy and perfect… this coconut one is my current favorite. Most Utah races during the warmer months have these in the finish line area, which is another plus of coming to run a race here. PS While we were in Southern Utah for Spring Break, we met and talked with someone on the Utah Tourism board in the hot tub for a while, and I told him that I basically work for them with how much I try to convince you guys to come visit for the last (almost) 14 years.
We had 5-ingredient Pesto Chicken Pasta AGAIN because we all can’t get enough of it.
We had a Runner’s Corner social for the new team to go to:
Refreshments and a lot of talk about running, what else could a runner want?!
