It's a RUNderful life

Happy Presidents Day... Not that it actually means much except no school... But thanx Founing Fathers I really appreciate a day off hah. Morning practice today was some moderate speed. 6x400 at mile pace with a minutes rest inbetween and finished up with 2x100 at finish pace with one minute rest inbetween. Not feeling super great, probably because I haven't exactly been eating so good as of late, but overall the workout wasn't too bad especially with low mileage. Shoutout to Gan and Dallin and all others who braved the terrible two-mile workout... You rock.

Today basically gave me spring fever. The weather was PERFECT and the air was a little clearer which makes my lungs so much happier:) Good, easy, and fun run with Gan and Gups, and for a little while Mario. We went up airport hill so Guppy could stop at her house and get shorts and then basically looped back around to the highschool. Easy pace, but that's okay cuz hill workout tomorrow for meeeee. 

Is it weird to miss hill workouts? Hope not cuz I did. Did a wonderful hill workout up beautiful airport hill today. Felt pretty good for not having done a hill workout in months. It was 3x90 second pick ups up the hill a lap rest inbetween and then another set of 3. All at mile to two mile pace (or as fast as you can go up that crazy steep thing) once again beautiful weather and I felt super satisfied with my run overall even though it was pretty lonely finishing up mileage. 

Shoutout to Coach J for doing the workout! She killed it as per usual. 

Also thanks to all those people (some of whom I still need to meet) who commented on my blog recently... I was highly entertained. 

Don't you just love those days when easy mileage feels like you ran a marathon? I don't. And that was today. Weather went back to cold today which is a little depressing (although not complaining cuz the skiing should be good this weekend). Went out towards Willowcreek with my pal Rach who is always great to run with, but I have to admit that my heart just wasn't in it today. I'm pretty sure my heart is in Idaho with all the lucky people who are at Simplot. Sigh. Next year watch out Idaho. But huge GREAT JOB to my sista Gan for PRing crazy today in the two-mile and making it to finals! And I haven't heard much but I'm sure the rest of Team She killed too! And of course the boys are crazy awesome and wrecked as well as per usual:) now I think I'll go cry and wish I was at Simplot....

Good but slow 3 mile loop with most the crew, then one more mile with just Sami cuz for once she had more mileage than Guppy and Gan haha. Finished up the last two by myself and they were a little faster. Did some sick "gymnastics" with Sami after and we didn't even injure ourselves lol. 

Being able to run without a jacket in February is a beautiful thing. Did a mile over to Sami's then we did a nice, easy four mile loop, and then a mile back home. Legs felt a bit tired today not really sure why.
