Personal:

I am married to Nathan Long and have two cute boys. I enjoy being a mom but running keeps me sane.=) Running is my passion and always will be. I was asked by a friend what I was training for and I said to be skinny. She looked at me (as we just finished 3 hard one mile repeats after I just got done having two crowns put in) and said, "No one trains that hard to be skinny." I said, "I do." To me working out is fun! I love pushing my body to new limits. I think if I had to do just mileage I would go crazy!

Awesome workout by Amy Cook. I am not quite sure what my 5k pace is but I went with 5:30 pace. 2.5 warm up and cool down. Did the workout at Weber State's indoor track.

4x(800(2min rest),400(90sec),200(1min),1000) with 3min set break

800-2:45    800-2:44       800-2:45        800-2:43

400-75       400-75          400-75          400-74

200-36       200-36           200-36         200-36

1000-3:32   1000-3:31      1000-3:31     1000-3:31

It was really nice to have marks to go off of instead of using the garmin. Really even pacing as well. Felt pretty good until halfway through the third set then I was breathing pretty hard. I decided to do 5k effort mile effort mile effort and 10k effort. This was a hard one to do alone but glad I did all four sets.

great workout. i like the cutdowns from 800-200 and then jumping right back up to the 1000 -- challenges the systems for sure! nice work.
