Mine #s 7:12, 7:20, 7:28(last one uphill)

ran 19 miles at night with court and haley. It was courts bday this wk so we turned it into a suprise bday run for her. We started at 9pm. Many of courts friends came and suprised her in the bushes. Nat christensen, Brooke Renyolds, Allison jumped out the first 1 mile. A few miles later Peg and Heidi...Peg looked like a million bucks :)))) (that was for my favorite blog stalker! jk...who need to start blogging!!). Kept running, then some of courtneys friends who  I didnt know came to say hi. Then around mil 7 Amber Green came an ran and talked a half a mile or so.

It was a fun first loop of the run. After mile 9 I was planning on going home. But they talked me into staying. I finished the last 10 with them. around mile 16 I was getting delirious and running crooked!!! Glad it is over. It was fun to do ONCE!!!!

5 with courtney and haley. easy run

tempo work today.

2 sets of 20 min of 720pace

*first set 720, second set 750 (we stopped and had a quick water break. And had to run uphil for part of it....I wasn't feelin in the second set!!)

still a great workout!

went to yoga later

ez run around neighborhood.

Then went to pilates and it killed me!

So we were gonna do this run saturday morning. But since it was suppose to rain hard all saturday morning, we decided to do another night run. 

I worked a 10 hr shift at work and then got the news we were running at night. I wasnt thrilled to say the least....since the memories of the last midnight run were still fresh

Haleys hubby drove us up the course. It was windy and RAINY...and i was really trying to stay postivie. I just kept thinking....running in the rain in daylight vs darkness....

So at the top, we quickly realized that I was the only one who brought a headlamp. But it seemed to do the trick. The first 10 miles about were so windy and the rain kept whipping my face...I was really trying to go to my happy place in my head. Then my headlamp battery died!!!!

AHHHH. Pitch black in the wind and rain....am i CRAZY.....check....yes i am!!!

Haley quickly downloaded the flashlight app on her phone. we were able to see again....so nice. Around mile 13 the wind had died down and the rain had stopped....YEAH!!!!!

At this point I wasnt dreading the run. We were about half way. I felt great and It was nice that the stars were all aligining....hahaha get it STARS!

Anyway, we ran down through snow canyon park, then back to haleys house in IVINs.

When we got into IVINs. Only 2 miles left!!! at 130am we had a strange truck following us. He turned around and was driving slowly. We all spooked and hid in the bushes!!!

After it was done. I was glad it was done. get to sleep in tomorrow!!! But I swear this is the last midnight run for me!!!! lol

avg pace 9:03

spartan workout at gym this morning.

did tempo workout later today. It was so hot out!! tried to maintain my 720 pace for 20 minX2. but I could only get a 740. Still happy with it today. Did the rest of the run nice and easy!
