Sorry it's been a while since I wrote, but maybe it's me being tired and just ready for the Missoula Half to get here..........
Monday - 25 Minutes on the Arc Trainer
Tuesday - Hilary was here!! It was so fun to run with her and spend time with her this week, we had a great time. Today we ran 3 miles moderate, then we did Boot Camp!! At Boot Camp I also ran 1 mile at about 7:25 pace, .75 miles at 7:15 pace, and .50 miles at 7:00 pace. It was a good workout today, thanks Hil Bil!
Wednesday - 3 mile easy run with Hil and the dogs
Thursday - 46 minute Tempo Run, think I got 5.80 miles in.......
Friday - OFF, we walked around Kellogg, ID
Saturday - Hilary left, very sad, it was great having her here. I drove to Coeur D'Alene and ran 1:46 min run on the Centennial Trail. It was hot and I stopped because a biker ran into an older gentleman and I stopped to help, but other than the hills being brutal, I felt okay, not great, but okay. I think I got 13.2 miles in.........
Sunday - Hiked up at Klemgard with the dogs, beautiful day!!
It was a good week, it's always tough when you have company here because you want to spend all your free time with them! Fortunately Hilary loves to run as well and we got some good training in this week. It's fun to have a buddy to run with!
Happy Training All!

May 31 - June 6, 2010
Better week! Emotionally it was a roller coaster but I stayed on my training pretty good and had a long run Sunday that I bonked on, but still managed to finish it.
Monday - 4 miles, very very hard since I took Saturday and Sunday off and was at my mom's visiting with my little brother, sis-in-law and my Mom. I was a bit dehydrated and didn't get great sleep so it was tough but I made it through it.
Tuesday - BACK IN PULLMAN!!! I did 4 x 800 at 10k pace and felt really good. 4.5 miles total with recovery jogs in there and stayed at 7:10-6:53 min/mile pace for all of them.
Wednesday - Tired legs but did 3 mile easy run on treadmill
Thursday - OFF
Friday - 34 minute tempo run, then I did 30 minutes of a Fartlek with some of my girls on the Chipman Trail.
Saturday - Hiked Idler's rest with Boo, Bella, Corrie, McGruber and Kari!! Then I did a 4 mile run @ pace, finished in 30:20 so not too bad, I knew I had beer margaritas waiting for me afterwards so that helped spur me on ;-)
Sunday - Was supposed to do 1:45 run (3/1) and I started out feeling great, did 6.5 miles in 50:30 so was feeling great, I turned around and walked so I could take a bite of my Power Bar and get some Gatorade and when I started running again, I felt horrible. Walked too long, got out of my steady state and felt like garbage the whole rest of the way home. I ended up running 12.5 in 1:43:30 and felt horrible, I should have started a bit slower and sped up at the last 3rd of run. Oh well! It's still only 4 minutes slower than my PR in the 1/2 Marathon, so if Iwould have done the last .6 miles I'd have been about 8 minutes slower. Not TOO bad for a training run, just wish I would have felt better about it.....

May 24 - May 30, 2010
So much vacation in May, I love it, but hard to get great training runs in when you are traveling. Still you have just got to persevere, get in what you can, and relax and not worry about the rest!
Monday - OFF
Tuesday - 8 x 400's at 5k pace (1st 3 intervals @ 5:55-6:05 pace, 4-6 @ 6:10-6:25 pace, 7 & 8 were at 6:45-7:05 pace) Need to adjust that, felt so good starting out, hadn't done speed work on an actual track in a long time and I just felt so good!
Wednesday - Started suffering from Plantar Fasciitis pretty bad in St. Louis so I stayed off it and just did elliptical for 30 minutes instead of a 3-mile easy run.
Thursday - 30 minute Tempo Run (3.75 miles)
Friday - 25 minute easy run
Saturday - OFF (was at Mom's in Idaho Falls)
Sunday - OFF (was supposed to do a 10k at race pace but we went to Jackson Hole instead!)
So I didn't get ALL my runs in but oh well, I will move forward! I'm back in Pullman now for a while, until I go see Fice back east, then the Missoula 1/2 Marathon in July!!!

May 17 - May 23
Didn't start off so well, but got a couple of good runs in this week.
Monday - OFF :-)
Tuesday - Great workout.
Warm Up - 1 mile Run
8 x .20 Hill (2@3%, 2@4%, 2@5%, 2 @ 6%)
Jogged .20 in between each interval
Walked 3:00
Ran 1 mile at race pace (7:10).
Hard!!! But it was good.
Wednesday - OFF, can't remember why, just busy with school and work and Snap
Thursday - Dad flew in!!! Picked him up, we had lunch, I taught class and then we took the dogs out on the trail. He took Boo on an "Old Man" Walk as he called it and Belly and I did a 5.5 mile tempo run. It was cold and windy but it wasn't too bad.....
Friday - Ran 3 miles "easy" out at Cyndi's house before we flew out to St. Louis.
Saturday - Was in St. Louis visiting my brother, sis-in-law and handsome nephew, as well as to watch some Cards games. It was supposed to get into the mid-90's so I decided to do my long run on Saturday. I had a 90 minute run so I did that with Charlie, felt horrible for at least the 1st 3 miles, then started feeling "okay" but never felt great until it was over. It was so hot and humid and I was a bit dehydrated, along with the fact that I didn't eat well on Friday when we were traveling. All that added up to a so-so run. But it was wonderful to run with Charlie, he's starting a taper for his Half IronMan in Kansas a week from Saturday!
Sunday - OFF
So mileage-wise, it wasn't great, but I got some good hard runs in there and I'm okay with it.

May 10 - May 16
Man I LOVE the first week that students are gone! I get so much done, have so much energy, spend time with my dogs, run outside whenever I want to instead of in between teams or clients and it just feels great! So it was a good week running wise and energy wise. Plus I had our 1st Annual Trip to Walla Walla planned so it was an exciting week and weekend!
Monday - 3 mile easy run
Tuesday - 8 x 400 @ 5k race pace, 5 miles total and felt amazing
Wednesday - 4 mile moderate run on the Chipman Trail, Cyndi Lou Hoo ran 2 miles!
Thursday - 40 minute elliptical + 1 mile walk on Treadmill while chatting with Ms. Teresa
Friday - OFF, TRAVELED TO WALLA WALLA!!!
Saturday - 5k with Erica Quam at talking pace, then ran 1.4 miles to bring all the ladies in during our 1st annual 5k race at Lake Bennington in W2. Great great day, everyone did well and then we went and wine tasted after! Can't ask for a better Saturday............
Sunday - 78 minute run. Wasn't easy, was a tad dehydrated from Saturday and it was pretty warm and muggy, didn't run with fluids which was a mistake. But I did it and all the girls ran ANOTHER 5K!!! I'm so proud of them, it was such a fun weekend filled with friendship, running, wine tasting and healthy cooking.
