August 22-30
Swim: 0. Bike: 1 hour spin, plus 15 miles pulling the trailer. Run: 32.4.
Monday: Rest. I've decided 2 rest days in a row are good.
Tuesday: Track workout. 1 mile warm-up. 4 x100 striders. 2 x 200s (:45, :48). 6 x 800s (3:15, 3:16, 3:14, 3:15, 3:14, 3:17). 2 x 100s double accelerators. 1 mile cool-down. Felt pretty good, surprisingly. They all felt very doable.
Wednesday: 1 hour spin. I was fatigued, but got a good workout.
Thursday: 5.4 miles pushing James. I did the first 3.1 with Cherie and I tried to push her harder than she is used to. We averaged 8:57. I did a second shorter loop, and just wasn't feeling it. I guess it is harder to push, than i thought. Overall average, 9:08.
Friday: Lazy. I should have gone for a ride, but didn't in anticipation of Saturday's long run.
Saturday: 19 miles of hilly hardness. 8:37 pace. 2:43 minutes. I ran with the running group from the new Walmart to the Washington Rec Center and back. Wow! there are a lot of hills in that section. I started with Ashley, Ty and a new girl. Ty turned around at the 5 mile mark and we continued. Ashley and the new girl definitely had a bit more left by the end, I was really struggling the last two miles up the hill. I would have liked to have run 20, but I was beat. This may be my longest run before the marathon, so hopefully it is enough. The new girl just ran a half in 1:39 and wants to run St. George between 3:30 and 3:40, so I think I can make that same goal.
