Test in

Snake along the bleachers - 100 pushup - 100 dips
Snake along the bleachers - 50 pushups - 50 dips
Snake along the bleachers - 25 pushups -25 dips

OR until 30 minutes run out.

I completed "just shy of the last few steps on the last set of the snake run before the set of 25's.

Thoughts on this test....my push ups ended up being from the wall about half way through the 100 pushups. Sucked!!!!!

Dips I can NEVER do. Don't know why but it is always really hard for me to do with proper form.

Jeezzzzzeeee....I felt like a newbie. And, of course, for some reason my arms and brain aren't working today. Don't know why ;-)~

Mt Wilson training

Razorback 19 minutes to top, 33:10 RT
Rest 12:30 minutes (ok it was supposed to be 16:35 but I'm impatient)
Carter 12:11

Sunday-quads are sore!

3 miles short tempo

Not as fast as I was hoping. I was trying for sub-30 but came in at 30:22...over 30 seconds more than the last time we ran this (Feb 2 - at 29:45). Don't know what the difference was, but I know I can do this quicker.

I was supposed to run this at a 9:42 pace per chart (30:04).
I was really trying for 9:26 (29:15).
I actually ran this at 9:48 (30:22).

6 miles

1:02:14 = 10:22 pace

I missed my goal by 2:15 :(

5 miles mid temp

48:28:35
9:42 pace

Yeah this was supposed to be mid-tempo (9:57) but I knew I was going faster than that...which I intended. This was right on target for a short tempo run (9:42). This whole week was off ...running on Sunday, not Saturday because of the rain...running Wednesday, not Tuesday because of the rain...why not throw off the tempo run too.

12 miles
2:14:35
11:13 pace

I was hoping for a 10 min pace but realized at 7 miles, that just wasn't going to happen. It was a really pretty day for a run, and much better than yesterday!

3 miles

Well mapmyrun.com says it's 3.2 and that's what I'm going by. My pace looks so much better at 3.2 vs 3.0

So that being said, 3.2 =29:45 = 9:18 pace (vs a 9:55 pace if that were just 3.0 miles)

Amazing what a difference .2 of a mile can make! It probably just just over 3.2 since there was a bit of a confusion, a stop to reevaluate where were were, a short run down and back up, adding on (again according to mapmyrun) .1 miles.

I was hoping for a 9:45 pace so that is better than I hoped for. I think just trying to keep up with Mel and Dave so I wouldn't get lost really helps. Of course I lost site of them on Orange Grove. I thought I saw something reflective bouncing up and down WAY WAY WAY off in the distance when I got there.
