Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
4.00	5.00	9.00

Tempo Tuesday. Warmed up with 3 easy miles then ran 5 miles at LT. First 2 miles were a little erratic (6:30, 6:20) then settled into a pace (6:26, 6:28, 6:28). The last 2 miles were a lot of work. I really had to focus to maintain the pace. I felt pretty lousy as I headed out the door so I kind of expected to struggle. It was much better than I thought so even though it was a lot of work, I am happy with the run. Cooled down with an easy mile.

I lucked out and found a pair of Brooks Adrenaline at Sports Authority on sale for $59. Probably should have bought a few pair.

I was on the Provo 1/2 website and it said it was closed but allowed me to register. What are the chances that I am actually registered? I would hate to drive out there and find out that I'm not actually signed up.

It might be a little erratic for you; but it looks dang good to me! GOOD JOB! Yahooo for the new shoes! That's a bargain, go back and get some more, I would!

Hey great run! Can you feel the pace you are going or do you have to look at your Garmin a lot? I am always shocked at how consistent you are.

Andy, great run. Wow, pretty consistent and not feeling good. I am impressed, nice work!

You always impress!!!

Nice find on the shoes. :)

Kathie - It is mostly by feel. I can usually tell when I start to get lazy and need to refocus. I have gotten used to what 6:30 pace is supposed to feel like although I will glance at my Garmin every quarter to half mile.

nice tempo run, Andy

I did the same thing with the Provo River 1/2. Hope we're in.

I don't trust Curt's website. From past experience, I checked the registration site account and it would show the race that I have registered and even a bib#. So, I'd check the registration account, not his website. Last year Teena signed up the week before and still got in. Also if you're charged the fee, you can email Curt for confirmation.
