10 miles. Hollow Road out-and-back. Super easy pace, it was fun to just run and not worry about a workout.

92 miles this week if I count my miles from Monday-Sunday (which I have always done since I started keeping track of mileage). Not sure if I'll do that again anytime soon and I hope it was helpful, not detrimental, to my training.

I'm pretty nervous about my training and preparation for this marathon. I feel like I was floating along, auditing a class (running miles, but not with any training effect) but then 3/4 of the way into the semester I found out I had to take the final  in order to retain any knowledge of the class. Cramming for tests is not nearly as successful as studying all along the way. Hopefully my "cram-session" will be enough for a decent run in 3 weeks.

am: 6 miles. TOU mile 22 loop. Very tired legs today. I just ignored how slow I was running and enjoyed the fact that I could.

lunch: 6 miles. 6 x 200 w/200 jog at the USU track. Gorgeous day and my legs woke up after this morning. Splits: 35, 35, 36, 37, 36, 37. Felt pretty good!

Congrats to all the Boston-ers! What a brave effort for the conditions!

am: 4 miles. I treadmilled (super slow) today because it was still really dark outside and someone told me about a pride of mountain lions that live in the canyon and come down into the neighborhoods right before sunrise to eat deer for breakfast. Sometimes this scares me into my basement because I'm sure I'd appear as a lame deer. Kinda like a shark is attracted to a lame seal that turns out to be a surfer.

pm: 6 miles. TOU mile 22 marker loop, with Jeni. Nice to have company.

Had to use the shop vac to clean the kitchen after cooking dinner. Yep, I'm that good of a cook.

12 miles. 3 mile tempo at MP, 1600 breakdown track workout; pace range from 6:00 down to 5:00, followed by one more MP mile to see the pace difference. Felt better than I thought I would, but still unsure of where my fitness is at this point.

45 minutes core & stretching.

I have a feeling the rain will cancel my bike ride this afternoon. Bummer.

lunch: 45 minutes spin. 3 x 8min w/15 sec sprint-15 sec easy, 5 min rest. I don't love spin.

a.m.: 4.5 miles. Snail's pace.

p.m.: 6.5 miles. Logan River Trail. Luckily I came away with NO ankle sprains. Trails always make me so nervous! Ran with Jeni, Mandee and Mandee's pit bull...

Got my foot zoning done today. Interesting what she could tell me about what has been going on in my body!

am: 7 miles. 10 min warm-up then, 6 x 3 min hard-1 min easy-1 min hard-1 min easy. Put in a lot of "junk miles" yesterday so I wanted some quality today. Felt better than expected.

pm: 3 miles. Ran to the post office to drop off some letters.

16 miles. Tour of Logan. Had a hard time convincing my legs that today was a great day for a long run, had to work harder than I should have to achieve the pace I was running. Beautiful morning for a run anyway.

Congrats to all of you who were running around in Salt Lake City today!

**mileage disclaimer: this week was only 71 total miles because I counted Sunday's 10-miler as part of last week's mileage.

sunny afternoon = 20 mile bike ride up Hollow Road with my husband's racing club. They went 40. I could only keep up with their warm-up speed, I'm a wimp! However, I did get to work on my tan a little bit.
