To keep in balance you must keep moving

Ran with the group today although I really did not want to and probably shouldn't have.  I am sore and tired from this weekend and i have some little pains in my knees and calves that need some rest.  We warmed up, did some 2 mile repeats that i ran way to fast trying to keep up with Kelli.  Then we did some hill sprints that I took really easy. And some more cool down miles to the car.  It's always fun to see everyone and chat but it hurts sometimes!

I did some good stretching today and decided to do an easy run down the JPT with the jogger and the baby.  Man that is hard!  I just did 4 easy miles at 9-9:30 pace but I forgot how hard it is to push the stroller, yuck!  Finn had fun but I think I'll wake up early next time and go alone.   My right calve is hurting and one spot on my right knee cap.  One more hard track workout tomorrow then I need to take it easy.

Ran with the group today, hopefully one of the last torturous track workouts of the year!  I ran from home and met the group on the warm up so i got in the full warm up which helped.  We did 2 laps on the track then started the Yasso 800's.  I luckily had Julie to ran with and push me along or I would have quit.  We were suppose to do 8 but I only did 6 then ran some slow laps instead.  My right calf is still bugging me from the weekend.  We pushed it pretty hard, at least I thought so. Juie is really fast and it was probably slow for her.  We came in at 3:26 almost every time.  I ran home slowly then stretched and fell fine tonight.  I'm rested tomorrow so I can get a good one in on SAt.   

I finally did a marathon paced run with some bbkers.  I keep doing all my long runs on the trails and end up going pretty slow.  I needed to get in one good fast one so I'd feel better about st. george.  We ran 12 miles on the JRP trail form Cheris's house.  I ran out with Cheris and Michelle and back with Julie.  We did some 9mm and some 8 and some at 7:30.  I felt o.k. going out, windy and feeling tired form the last few weeks.  I tried some EFS gel at mile 7 and started feeling good.  We ran the last 6 pretty fast and I felt great.  It wasn't t hard to keep a 7:30-8 min. pace.  It made me feel less nervous for st. g.  I'm getting excited.
