The BAD and UGLY of training for the Salt Lake Half

Today was my long run. It was only 6 miles because this is a recovery week - but it was not pretty.

LSD Run - Week 1

First Long Slow Distance run of my training - 5 miles. Click here to watch my periscope.

Just had a 2 day nutritional cleanse.

6 am shake with greens

7:30 am Power drink and eshot

8:00 am run on treadmill 5 miles. warm up for 1/2 mile 5.0 pace then 6.0 for the rest of the miles.
felt fine. I was distracted by the lady next to me. It is very hard for me to get distracted while I run. At mile 1 I had to go pee! I endured through the run - maybe peed my pants a little - but it just looks like sweat :) and there was no one behind me. While I was running I took 2 sips of my hydrate drink every mile. It was my reward :) I felt fine during my run. I wasn't winded or tired or wishing I could get off.

9:00 am or so stretch stretch stretch. I always forget how important that is. Had my super yummy protein shake and recovery drink.

Getting Lots of Support for my half - protein shake for lunch

Watch my Periscope

If you follow me on facebook (Carey Biggs Underwood) or Instagram (@candid93) you will see me post pictures of my "supporters". So many people are excited for me to run this half - either because they aren't having to run or because they are runners and love it! Love the support - It will pull me through!

Actually 11 weeks

I was anxious to get my training going tomorrow - so I contacted Coach Alyssa. She did the actual counting on the calendar - the race is 11 weeks away. So this week will be a little practice - then we will get to the knotty gritty next week.
