My oh My

I kept thinking I was slacking in keeping logs of my runs.
And obviously I slacked major since it's been a month.
Where does the time go?!
I am hoping to run the Provo Half Marathon on August 13.
I've heard the course is nice and shaded and downhill.
Sounds like a great course to me!

I was doing well staying on track with training for this half
with getting at least two 8 mile runs in,
but then there was this break happened where I wasn't able to run much.
But I've committed to run this race and I want to do well.
I finally bumped up my runs again and did my 10 mile run today.
I'll admit it was a bit rough.
But I did it and didn't die.
Sometimes I seriously feel like I may die during long runs.
I get bored, or my body decides to revolt against me, or like today
when I was so thirsty all I wanted was a drink of water.
I'll be more prepared next time.

So far this week here is my run down:

Mon - 4 miles

Tues - 6 miles

Wed - 45 min walk

Thurs - 10 miles

Fri - rest

Sat - hoping to do 4 -6 miles

I'm a huge fan of using 5 hour energy before long runs.
For some reason I lack in energy and Gu and other supplements
make me sick so I've finally found what works for me.
I really enjoy running and love it when a race is coming.
It makes running and training worth every minute!
