AM-Wave tempo with 8x5 hard/1 min rest. First 3 min AT effort then finishing the last 2 min at LT or about 10k intensity pace.  First set straight up 9400s and 2000 east on some really good rolling hills and overall vertical gain. Last 4 coming back down concentrating on turnover and economy of effort. Got lucky today and hit all the street lights just right without having to stop. Execution and effort given an A+..:)

PM-Easy 4 miles recovery at 8-9/min pace. 7th east out and back.

PM-Easy 4 miles on the treadmill.( 31:06)  Ran while wrapping up the latest episode of "Sherlock" starring Benedict Cumberbatch.  A bit more cerebral than some of the other made for TV Sherlock Holmes episodes.

AM-Steady state run for 12 miles out back up towards the canyon via 9400s. Just kept it at a nice medium effort occasionally moving into MP effort for a mile or so. No watch just trying to concentrate on effort and intensity by feel.  Very pleasant weather lately which leaves me really no excuse not to put the miles in:)

PM-Easy 4 mile jog on 7th out and back.

AM-Easy for the most part untl the end when I picked up the pace to about what I felt like was a bit slower than marathon pace at the end for the last 2 miles. 7th east out through Draper and back. Tough to stay motivated lately.. Time to start running with Spencer or someone local. It's a definite known that group running even if it's just a couple of people definitely leads to improved performances for everyone in the group. Just look at the Salt Lake, Utah County and Davis guys. Proof positive.. Not to neglect anyone else who might do it also hopefully

AM-Steady 6 miler with the last 4 miles at 6-6:30 and the last half mile at 2:41.  Felt somewhat better today though definitely not 100%.   So not looking forward to turning 43 next month..  7th east and parkway trail.

AM-Easy 8 miles on 7th-13th east/State St route.  7:30-8/min pace.  Wanted to go to 10 miles however like the old saying goes, just because you can doesn't always mean you should.  The legs are still in recovery mode although a bit bouncier this morning. A good sign, because it means I got it right yesterday with the diet, m ileage and pace.  I've been taking a page or two out of Camille Herron's blog lately.  Highly recommend it..

PM-Easy 4 miles, 8-8:30/mi. 7th east.  Spent the rest of the day looking for employment..

AM-13 miles easy aerobic overdistance. Took it out on the 94th/Wasatch Blvd route. Picked up the pace to sub 7/min miles for the last 3.  Most miles at 7:30-7:40ish.

Wow this weather is just awesome!  However I am glad for the storms coming later this week . The snow pack doesn't seem to heavy.. I'm kind of curious to see where we are percentage wise.

PM-Easy 4 miles at 7:30/8min pace. Parkway trail lunchtime.

AM-Easy 6 miles early on 7th/8600s/13theast.  7-7:20/mile.  Time to take a nap..

AM2-10 miles easy up 7th and 13th east.  7:30ish-8/min/mile.

PM-Easy 6 miles with the last 3 at 7/min pace.  7th/9400s west.  Nothing hard just getting as many base miles as possible without overtraining.  Keeping an eye on morning pulse both sitting and standing to see how this sudden push in mileage works out.

AM-13 miles up 9400s from home out/back. Took it pretty easy on the pace in order to spare glycogen reserves while still getting good aerobic benefit.  7:30ish-8/min pace.  Turning on the mitochrondria factory.

PM-Easy 5 miles this evening on 7th/east. 7:30-8/min pace.  Soggy.. But not bad once warmed up. Noticed how high I was carrying my arm swing in the last race and so I've been practicing lowering the arms and relaxing the shoulders more.  This seems to have made a definite improvement in the amount of tightness I have been struggling with.  The tough thing about it is that I have to conciously work on it throughout the run. Hopefully it will become a more natural thing soon.

AM-Easy 12 miles at 7:30ish-8/min pace. 9400s/2300 east route.  Somehow I don't think we are going to get to 62 degrees today.

PM-NO run this evening.  Wife wanted to go to the Y bookstore (she is a Y alum..) and creamery so we loaded up the car with the kids and proceeded onward. Shopped art supplies for Ian and had huge bowls of BYU creamery ice cream. Man I had no idea it was so thick and rich!  It makes every other ice cream look like air blown half and half.  I was a beached whale afterwards and had no desire to move for nothing or nobody..
