I was talked into trail running by a bunch of running friends. I thought it would be something new and fun. Jason, Paul, Scott, Melissa and I started out early up Diamond Fork Canyon toward the hot pots.  I have to say trail running is much harder than I had anticipated. We got up just over 4 miles and decided to turn around and come back. The way back was much easier and we were pushing some really fast miles, about a half mile before we reached our car I slipped on some rocks and took a nasty fall. I definatley got some true battle wounds. After arriving home things weren't quite right and I went to the doctor to find out I have a concussion from the fall. I think it's safe to say I'm a road runner.:)

2 very extra slow miles per doctors orders. He said I need to ease back into my workouts.

Yoga for one hour with Trish, got me mentally ready for the day.

Good luck to all the Ragnar teams, especially team WRE!

Started out the morning early with Scott and Melissa. Scott made the route this week, we started out uphill, ran though the river trails and did some loops around town. Perfect and beautiful morning to be outside 8 miles 8:44 AP. Sorry Scott that you had to put up with us two girls giving you are hard time today, you know we love you. I still felt I had plenty left in me to do a bit of speed work 5.3 miles solo 7:24 AP. I still felt strong and could have gone farther which is a good sign.:)

I wanted to get my long run in early this morning, but since no one was avaliable to run with me I had to resort to the treadmill. Nomally 10 miles on a treadmill seems to last forever, but for whatever reason today flew by. I kept wanting to push the pace faster, but knew I needed to keep it slow since I have speed drills tomorrow. 10.25 nice easy miles 8:06 AP.

Met up with Scott, Melissa and Chase at the track for some speed work. We did a 1 mile warm up, then did 400 meter repeats with equal recovery. We finished with a short cool down. This workout was really hard and tested my speed. I was able to keep my repeats consistant which I was happy with. Thanks Chase for the extra push and for timing the repeats, you are so awesome!

Today was supposed to be a recovery run from yesterday's speed drills. I started out slow thinking my legs would feel heavy, but to my surprise they felt great, other than my left hamstring is a bit tight. Ran 5 miles 7:47 AP. I then went to kickboxing class with Jana, great to take my aggressions out on the punching bag:) Finished up with core and obliques.

Holy crap, both my hamstings are so sore! My foam roller is going to be my best buddy today:) Ran 5.1 slow recovery miles 8:34 AP. Weights: worked quads, hamstrings, chest, delts, lats, shoulders, biceps, triceps, glutes, abs, and obliques. I got most of the groups to muscle failure.

A bunch of us are running our long run tomorrow morning early. I will be runnning 13, but the course we are running has different break off points if you aren't wanting to go that far. If you want to run with us but haven't been given the details leave me a comment and I'll get back to you. The more the merrier, it should be lots of fun!

Met up to run the Hobblecreek Half course. This is hands down my favorite half course. It was the perfect morning for a long run. I don't know what happened to everyone in our group, but it only ended up being Scott, Melissa and I. Ran 9.5 with Scott and Melissa 7:34 AP, then 3.5 solo 8:00 AP.
