My legs felt pretty good. I was happy to not really feel the 13 miles from Saturday.

Not enough sleep & low iron made for a tougher one. Still trying to balance homework and training.

9:25 avg pace, even with headwind and rain (took me back to St. George, 2008), and an almost completely uphill course. Of course, it was only 6. :)

Ran with Ben, so he helped me keep a good pace up the hill. Finished with a 9:13 avg pace.

Tempo run at the gym. 1 @ 9:30, 5@8:00 (final .25 @ 7:30—because I was ready to be finished), 1 @ 9:30.

I still don't like tempo runs, but this one didn't hurt as much as last time. So I guess it's getting better.

Started with Ben and Danny. Ran 5.5 with them before taking a different route. The strange thing is, I felt better on miles 13 & 14 than most of the rest of the run. Was able to pick up the pace, at the end. Averaged 9:18/mile.

The weather was gorgeous!

Skipped yesterday. I'm trying really hard to balance school and running. One more week, and I won't be up late all the time doing homework. Yeah!

 Speed work, today.

1 mile warm-up @ 9:30 

4 x 1600m @ 7:24 w/800m jogs

 Now, I 'm concerned I may have the flu. Ugh.

Beautiful morning, even if a little warm. It was a bit of a tough one. Maintained 9:24 min/mile average.

My mileage this week dropped since I gave my self a bit of a break to finish school. I pulled some awfully late nights and needed to have my wits about me to GRADUATE! Yep, that's right. I'm graduating this week. Yahoo!
