Week in Review 4/11 - 4/17 (Marathon Training)

Just 2 weeks to go until The Colorado Marathon! That means it is TAPER TIME! AKA, not running 60 miles per week, which is heavenly if I do say so myself...

Total Miles Ran: 44.73 running only, 49.73 including a hike!
 

Monday
Easy 8
Actual: 8 trail miles at Polluck Bench with Loki and the Striders run club. I hadn't done this trail yet and it was phenomenal! I definitely want to get to the Monday night group runs more often!


Tuesday
Rest or Xtrain
Actual: Rest


Wednesday
Easy 7
Actual: 7.12, 10:54 pace in the Colorado National Monument. Ran up Serpents Trail (just under 2 miles one-way), then hopped onto the road and kept going up until my turn around point. My calves did not like me on this one with over 1100' of elevation gain!


Thursday
Easy 6
Actual: 6.32 at the Lunch Loops with Loki. 11:37 pace.


Friday
Easy 10
Actual: 10.17 early morning miles. We were headed to Salt Lake after work, so I had to get up nice and early to do this before work. 

Saturday
13.1 - Salt Lake City Half Marathon. Easy with last 4 @ 8:18 pace.
Actual: Ran easy with last 4 @ 8:18, 8:13, 8:12, 7:47. I'm not going to lie, I had a blast passing a bunch of people as I got faster at the end! I'm usually the one slowing down at the end, so this was fun.


Sunday
Easy 5
Actual: Hiked 5 miles to the Fifth Water Hot Springs near Spanish Fork, Utah before we headed back home!

Flattop Mountain & Hallett Peak

I've been wanting to hike to the top of Hallett Peak ever since I found out it was the gorgeous mountain towering above Dream and Emera...
