| Easy 5 follwoed with a soak in the cold river. Not sure how my legs are going to be this Satruday. Hoping that after a couple very easy days and tomorrow off they should respond Saturday.

| Race Day!!! 22 miles, 5,500' elevation gain
Wasn't sure how my body and legs were going to act today. Love ultras because they register the race through ultrasignup.com and they rank you going into the race, show all people entered in the race and develop an estimated finish time. Granted the place and time can differ drastically based on a number of factors. Helps me to know who my competition is. There were a couple of girls who were given finsih times within a couple minutes of mine so I knew it would be a tough race.
Felt good out of the get go and legs felt pretty strong and energy levels were good. Legs could have felt better, but they weren't as drained as they had been earlier in the week so I was happy.
One girl tried to run ahead at about mile 2, but I kept her close and passed her after about 400 yrds. Came into first aid station as first girl, with one right on my heels. I stopped for some orange slices, and she passed the station. Took off and caught her about 600 yrds. Had a nice pace on the flatter stuff and was able to put some distance between us. On the ascent up I grinded up the mountain, passing about 5 guys.
Steep downhills are not my strength. I go as fast as I can without being so out of control that I feel like I could go down. 3 guys passed me (including the hubby) on the downhill- I have no idea how they don't roll down the hill going that fast. Came into the 2nd aid station, grabbed electrolyte pills and shot of 7-up and headed out. Grinded through the next 4 miles of hills trying to catch hubgy- he was just ahead of me (about 2 minutes). finally saw him on the last crest about 200 yds ahead. Unfortuntaly he saw me too. Last 2 miles are a gradual downhill to the finsih and the race was on. We both put it in high gear and flew downhill. He ended up getting me by about 45 seconds- busted out a 6:06 last mile (which is no easy feet after that course). I was about 6:15 trying to catch him. At least he is about 10x more sore than me :)
Kept the other two girls at bay and broke the CR (only the second year for this route...)
Ran strong and felt pretty good the whole race. Wanted to be about 5 minutes faster- have to try again next year...
Now to road racing season. First half in two weeks- so easy few days to let my legs recover ( downhill muscles are tight!!!). Then I race just about every weekend so my milage will fall off for a couple of months.

| Rest day. Downhill muscles are tight so need to take a few easy days. Walking down gradient is not fun...

| Nice and easy 8. Hurt to start and stop... and go down any type of hill, but once I got going my legs felt ok. Sat in the river after and it felt great! Few more days of sllooowww running, rolling and icing to recover.

| 10 Miles through Island Park- nervous runing through some woods to the main road. Kept looking for bears... 10x 1 min on 1 min off at 5k pace. Speed felt good.

| 10 miles. 3 mile wu. 5 mile HMP tempo. Goal pace 6:45. splits: 6:41, 6:41, 6:43, 6:38, 6:42. On target. Legs felt really good, but the heat toyed with my energy level. Should probably carry water on workout days...
Allergies acting up (at least I hope it is allergies and not a cold)- they better get under contorl by this weekend. Scenic half on Saturday.

| easy 8. Not sure if I will run tomorrow. Taking day off with girls before I head to Alaska. Half on Saturday. Not sure it will be as fast as I had hoped, but it is a flat course so it will be a good gauge... |

| First Half of the season. I was hoping to do a 1:28, but I ended up slower. I found out a few days prior that I would be taking a work trip to Alaska for 4 days and I had to leave on Saturday. Haven't left the babies for that long or gone by my lonesome since I had the oldest (6). Had some separation anxiety and couldn't really focus during the race.
I ran well and felt fine afterward and couldn't even tell I ran a half on Sunday. The race director changed the course this year and made it loop through a park and go over every little hill he possibly could. It threw me out off a little.
Couple more weeks till Missoula!!!

| Landed in Alaska (Petersburg) after a long two days of travel and went for an easy run. I found a couple cool trails and routes, but was a little nervous about bears. Beautiful here and the town is super cozy.

| Big day of work. Woke up at 4:30am to hope on a boat to head to work. 18 hours/day a sunlight is throwing off my clock a little. Packed in 12.5 hours of work then finished off my day with 10 miles along the bay. Decided to take it easy instead of a work out since I have a 20-mile tempo race this Saturday and I don't want to overdo things and end up sick....
Heading home tomorrow so I'll fit in a run before I catch my 14 hour flight back to the states....

| Heading home so got a run in before I had to fly all day. 2 mile wu then 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 with half time rest between. Run at 3k-5k-10k-half-full-hlaf-10k-5k-3k pace.
Finished with some exploring on a nature path. Felt strong. Ran under 2 bald eagles sitting on a light pole, plus 4 others flying overhead.

| relay with the hubs. We were originally going to run 20- miles legs, but the heat was going to be an issue so we changed it up. Ran first 5- mile leg then hubby took the hill. The plan was to each do 15, but about half way into my second leg, my side cramped up. I think it was from the bagel, gu, and poweraid I downed between legs. So then we switched the plan to alternating 5- mile legs. I hit MP for all but the second leg and felt really good at the end. So now time to taper for Missoula!! | |
