5 miles in 42 minutes starting at a 6.7 and going up every 5 minutes to 7.3 then up .1 every minute for the last mile (my MO of late). Felt fine; happy to get the run done with all the kids here. Plus I forgot to say yesterday that Scott gave me not flowers, chocolates, or jewelry for Valentines, but an official registration for the Utah Valley Marathon. What can I say? This man knows me very well. Everyone at work gave him a really hard time about it, but he kept telling them that is what I wanted and he was 100% right. Hey, I gave him a KitchenAid Commerical Grade for our 9th Anniversary and he thought it was pretty much the awesomest gift of all time. Love that we give each other "us" gifts rather than just going with defaults. So now I have about 8-9 weeks until Washington D.C. then Utah Valley in June which, CRAZY, is only about 4 months away. Then will hopefully pick up St. George or an alternate in the fall. Would love to do Park City again but can't commit to Park City and St. George (Scott and I have agreed to limit ourselves to 3 big races per year to save on weekends, kids, training, cost, and sanity) and am sure Park City will fill before we find out about St. George. Anyway, those are my new racing plans as of today. Sounds like a fun summer to me. |
