I can't miss an opportunity to hike in Zion National Park

We didn't have much time, so we hiked a short hike to "Hidden Canyon" Love it....

7 mile loop

I received a call at work today that Ian rolled his ankle playing basketball at recess. This is the second sprain in two weeks. He wanted me to come wrap his ankle with the ace bandage, so I finished a few things at work and came home.

Since I was home early, I thought I would get me run done before the boys got out of school. I ran the 7 mile loop, it was sprinkling just a bit when I started out. I headed out into a head wind and up hill, like always. The temp was not to cold, it was just the strong wind.

I could feel the fast miles in my legs from yesterday so I started out slow and walked up two hills. Once I turned to run south I had a tail wind and I was WAY to hot. I was glad to turn east again and have the cross wind back.

Ran 7.5 miles in 1:11

3 mile test

It is the start of Keena's track sessions on Monday nights. Jason and I went out to get our workout on... blah. Keena wanted to get our times so she had us do 3 x 1 mile repeats with a minute rest between.

My first mile was 7:22, oh mama to fast. Second mile was 7:45, third mile was 7:48. Keena said that came to about a 7:35 average mile. She will email me all of my track paces to follow throughout the summer. I will have those posted when I get them.

I think I will like her track workouts, it will definitely help me do speed work every week.
