Personal:

I used to run for BYU, but only after trying out three times and finally walking on, so I was never a star. However, it was wonderful to run with great people and under Coach Shane. When you run with fast people, you can't help to improve! I graduated BYU in 1998, and didn't run a race until 2002, after having my second child. My hiatus and other crazy life commitments have made my competitive running suffer, but the last couple of years I have tried to get back into it the best I can. I have been married since 1996, to Paul Lowry, who is a runner himself. I have three boys (my three rascals), ages 8, 6, and 4.

Loafer Canyon

35:04 to gate (including down to stop sign and back)

13:34 from gate to top (PR for this year by about a minute).

I felt really good, like I had something to prove after the disappointing 5k last week.

It was a great start to the week.

1200 repeats - always a good time.

First time doing this interval length this year.

Did them on the track, mostly alone though some running buddies were doing 800's so I shared some laps when I could.

gave myself a slow .5 mile rest since this was a first time for 1200s

times:

1 - 4:41

2 - 4:43

3 - 4:41

4 - 4:33

It felt great to have some left over on the last repeat.

I am not sure what would be best for the next 1200 work out I do, but since the marathon is the major race, I will probably keep a long rest and increase reps to 6 next time (probably in a month - will do other interval reps in between).

Down Payson canyon,

7:22 ave pace, just slightly better than last all downhill Payson (Jun 14 at 7:26 ave), but didn't do it as fast as the downhill portion of last week's Thursday Payson run (7:16 ave).

My legs felt tired, probably from the speed work out the day before. I was disappointed at pace but after looking at past payson canyon runs I wasn't that off.
