Last week I ran more longer singles than I have in a while.  In the process I think I reaggravated my PF.  Very frustrating! The little time off seems to have helped and I plan on returning to more normal mileage.

A little bite in the air this morning.  Bring on the cooler temps! 4 easy miles

 

PM

5.5 mile easy fartlek run, very happy to be out running again.  The forced time off the roads wasn't fun, Jing will tell you I was grumpy when I couldn't run.

 

As far as my half marathon goes in October, I'm not nearly as prepared as I'd like to be due to the sporadic training.  My original goal was 1:14-1:15.  Now I'm planning to go out at 6 minute pace and just try to hang on the whole time.  I'd be thrilled with a 1:18 half marathon on my first try. Should be fun.

4 slow lunchtime miles, planning on a 5K tempo run this evening

 

5K out and back course on Wasatch, Jing tagged along and rode her bike while I ran.  

Did an easy 5K warmup on the out and back course then did the planned tempo.  Ran it in 17:33. A decent workout, just under 5:40 pace.  Finished feeling good. Cooled down for another .3 miles.

A friend ran the Big Cottonwood Marathon this morning.  He was shooting for the 3:05 qualifier.  I jogged 3 miles to meet him and ran with him from mile 19 to mile 26. He hit the wall at mile 21 and we were running about 8 minute pace for the last 5 miles.  Sadly, he didn't qualify but still had a good experience.  At mile 26, I split and did a 2 mile harder effort then cooled down for a mile.

10.3 miles in the afternoon.

Jogged along Holladay Blvd. then up to Wasatch and looped by Oly High then back home.

Stomach wasn't happy for the last 3 or so miles. I had a NDE but luckily made it home dry and fresh.  7:15 average pace
