OH DEAR!

How fast 3 weeks goes by!

I've been out of commission, friends. Got a bad case of the somethin or others and felt that if i ran, i would just exacerbate my illness and i'd be in a whole truck load of bad luck. But i'm back. Ran monday. And Tuesday.

Monday Feb22 2010

Just a basic loop around temple square. 3.5 miles. Goin east on South Temple is a steady uphill and i could not breathe at all to save my life. It must of had somethin to do with the fact that i hadn't run in almost two weeks and I was heaving up mucous like you wouldn't believe.

Tuesday was the usual cemetery loop, with a slight mod. Instead of going strait down E street and blowin our knees out like a couple of dry ball bearings, we decided to stagger the downhill by alternating going east and south every 2 blocks. It worked great and we passed somebody else running which is always a little thrill for me. finished 3.9 miles in about 36 minutes.

I've been focusing on core strength lately, to improve my form. It'll be interesting to see if it makes me a more efficient runner.

OH! And i have an interview at the Salt Lake Running Company on friday morning! So excited about that. Hopefully I'll land my dream job and learn even more about running from some really knowledgeable people.

Long run on thursday and the speed work on then speed work on Saturday. This week's gonna be a breeze...
