Gold's Gym Sprint #2:

(Was going to start out with the swim but it was crowded and so started on the bike.)

Upright Bike: 20K

Run: 5K (Fonz pushed me at the end ... he kept pointing his finger up ... dang him!)

Swim: 750 meters

TT: 82:55 (This does not count transition times, which btw, was quite a bit between my run and swim.)

** Pushed myself hard, not diehardest hard, but the "Oh this feels awesome  -- but I don't know how long I can maintain it, dang ... hope I can make it" dripping sweat effort. I can see why you should swim first. Swimming at the end was pretty tough. :)

I will be tired today! :)

Happy Monday All!

13 miles

*1.5 with Sophia and Oliver :) :) :)

*12.5 on my own w/ 7 800s (400 m jog between each), 4 400s, and a couple 160 m strides in the middle.

(Watched Fonz' form while he was on the treadmill the other day. Tried to copy it during my speedwork while keeping my body fairly relaxed. Hmmmm ... )

((Still a ways to go to get back to where I was in March, but making progress.))

Running PC with my SSF

I have been so nervous about the Park City Marathon in two weeks. Today I realized why ... DANG ... that race is going to kick my trash!!!!

Smooth picked me up at 6:15 and we headed out. The plan was to run 12 miles covering the hardest miles of the marathon. I wanted to run them hard ... little did I know that no matter how you run those miles ... they are HARD!! (I can be such a baby!)

We got turned around and confused a few times, but there was no way confusing those uphill miles to Deer Valley and the huge hill on 8th street before hitting Empire. (We actually ran that hill twice to try and convince ourselves that we were tough.)

I have to admit that I was always more than happy to stop at a stoplight or take a breather when trying to figure out which way to turn.

The best part BY FAR was breakfast afterwards!

I have the GREATEST SSF EVER!!!! :)

60 easy minutes on the upright bike while watching LOST.

(Never saw the show when it was on television, but am loving watching it now on DVD. Just started the 2nd Season.)

17.5 miles on Smooth's absolutely BEAUTIFUL Alpine Loop course. :) :) :)

No Chumps run today, so Smooth convinced me that running in Lehi would be well worth the drive. She was SO SO SO right.

Met up with Smooth and her gang a little after 6. The weather was amazing. Ran a couple of miles with my SSF and Staci and then got caught up in the beauty of the area and wanted to find a natural but good effort pace. Seriously, this was one of the prettiest training runs I have ever run. I LOVED it. Albeit, I had no idea that we were going to be running hills again! Well worth it though. :) :) :)

Not sure if I should count my marathon pace miles as marathon pace since they were downhill. Hmmm ...

Anyway ... THANK YOU SO MUCH SMOOTH!!!!!

** On a side note ... Smooth failed to mention in her entry how stinkin' amazing she is AND how she smoked me on the last mile!!!! If that girl wouldn't run so many dang marathons she could easily knock off 20 minutes! She NEVER gives herself enough credit!

(Came home and went boating ... only to get out in the water for about an hour and turn around and come back home. Dang wind!)

((BUT ... my hubby bought me the dishwasher I have been eyeing for quite some time - but could never pull the trigger on - while I was gone this morning. HUGE BONUS!!!!))

PM

50 minutes upright bike (very easy - just to loosen the legs)
