Single: 6am LSD. I went to sleep early to get 7 hours of sleep last night. I took a little getting ready (I always do for the long ones). Then out the door a couple minutes before 6am. I combined two of my long run courses. I headed out up Foothill to BST to Wasatch. Then at the turn up toward Solitude I headed NW to the 13 MM of the marathon course and ran miles 13-4 backwards and home. A nice loop I’ll do it again. I was overdressed as the weather channel had the temp at a 29F WC but it was not that cold or that windy. It did sprinkle on me from miles 3-15 though. My first 3 miles were slow >9, next two >8 and then I just kept the pace between 7:30 and 8. Nothing fast today but this week was mostly about recovery anyway (except for the mile yesterday). Miles-22 T1 Avg. 7:55 HR 136
