What a morning!!! :)

I planned ahead so that I could skip classes and watch the Boston Marathon. I slept in with the plan of watching it on television as I ran on the treadmill. Showtime. I turn on the tv and NO BOSTON MARATHON!!!! I hate DIRECT TV!!!!! Never had that problem with Comcast. Anyway ... after spending way too much time on the phone with Direct TV (who informed me that I needed to upgrade my package if I wanted to watch the marathon) I found a site online that had live coverage for $4.99. Done deal. But then I couldn't get my order to process! I was getting upset. Finally the order went through. The women had just hit the halfway mark. I still wanted to run and so I frantically took apart my sectional couch and put the long piece on its side in front of my treadmill so that I could sit my laptop on top of it. I had two sets of earphones, one hooked to the laptop and one hooked to my ipod. It was SO SO SO fun listening to my music in one ear and the marathon in the other. The cowbells, cheers, etc. sent an excitement through my body. Also, I had my cell phone in the cup holder so that I could get the splits via texts of our friends running it! It was GREAT!!!! I am done with my run but am still enjoying tracking everyone's progress. Smooth sent me some pics from this morning. Everyone looked GREAT and ready to rock 'n roll!! GOOD DAY!!! :) :) :)

11 miles including 5 X 1200 meters at 5K pace w/ three and a half minutes jog between. Perhaps it was the excitement of Boston, but I feel good! :)

14 miles

Physics labs are done! Hallelujah!

Ry dropped me off at Wasatch Blvd this morning to begin my run. :)

1 mile on Wasatch Blvd, 1.5 miles up the canyon then back down to the JRP, on the JRP for 1.5 miles, then home.

I wanted 14 miles and misjudged the distance so had to add the parkway portion on. Next time I will know better. I feel good, just not a lot of zip in my legs and got really hungry mid run. Had 11 ounces of gatorade with me and drank every last sip. If these higher miles don't end up paying off I am going to be so  mad!!!! :) :) :)

YAHOO!!!! My highest mileage week EVER and I feel pretty dang good!!! :) :) :)

3 MP miles by myself

13 miles with the Professor (time sure goes by faster when you have good company, thanks Matt!)

3 more miles by myself (2 MP and 1 Threshold)

Then one cool down mile with Bish (turned my watch off for this mile, I'm guessing it was around 9:20).

** At mile 18 I saw Bish. I asked him to run ahead for 2 minutes and then I would see if I could catch him. This gave me a two minute break to muster up the strength. :) Worked out perfectly!!! I felt much better than I thought I would during that mile. Then I ran a cooldown with him.

Fun morning.
