Age is just a number.

Easy 10 miles this evening before work at 7-7:30/mile pace.  Most miles around 7/min pace.  Last in 6:38 as the pace kind of migrated towards that at the end.  My body just felt like it I guess.  Makes sense though because the training hr has come down a bit now and the level of effort at 7/min pace has also come down. Yeah!  This what we want :)

7th and 13th east out and back course.

PM-5 miles after work at 8/min pace.  Neighborhood loop. 

Medium distance run of 15 miles today. Avg-6:45-7/min for most miles. Went up to the Draper bench area to the park trail and then back up to 13th and 114th where I started to move the pace up a bit for the remainder of the run.  Took the rest of the day off to catch up on some sleep.  I't's spring break this week! :)

AM-Easy 10 miles this morning at  6:30 ish/pace. Picked the last mile up a bit at sub six pace.  Went to bed at a normal time for once and got ten hours sleep:) Nice for once..

PM-Lunch run for 10 miles at 6:40-7/min pace.  Last 2 miles around 6/min pace.  Sandy/Dimple Dell area out and back. Weather was incredible today! I was actually warm in a short sleeve shirt this afternoon.

Medium long run of 12 miles hard effort with the pace at MP-AT effort.  Just played around tonight working the pace up and and down just enough to feel the lactic acid every other mile or so.  No time taken.  Jordan River trail out to 5300 s gatehead and then back uphill to home. 

I think I need to step back again this week or next as the mileage is starting to catch up with my legs now. 

Recovery day and decided to take off for a day trip out of town.  I need at least one day off this week from running.  

AM-10 miles easy.  Most at 6:10-6:40ish pace. Indoor track with some speed changes.  Getting the body gradually ready for the introduction of speed work soon.  

PM-5 miles easy-medium effort on the JRT and 5300 s.  6:30-6:40/mile.  7/min going up 5300 s hill.  Last 2 miles at 5:40 and 5:42 on a decline.  Keeping a good aerobic stimulus without going hard on the second workout.   Easy jogging tomorrow morning and then hopefully a longer run in the evening if the legs and glycogen levels are up to it. 

Oh man.. my T-5 racers are now worn to the inside foam! I might as well be wearing Five Fingers! Lol !!   I lost track of the mileage on them but it's got to be well over a 1000 miles I think.  What is with this Five Fingers craze anyway?  True that primitives were not born or ran with shoes on, but then again they did not run mile after mile on hard pavement did they? Sounds like a good way for people not structurally built up yet to get injured. If someone has a pair please enlighten me to the advantage they would have versus a pair of flexible racing flats? My mind is open.. I know I'll probably get stoned by some for this comment!  But it's just my two cents so don't take it personally if you have some.

AM-Easy 6 miles this morning at 7:30-8/min pace.  7th east out and back.  Backloaded a few more hours of sleep tonight after getting 9 hours yesterday morning/afternoon. Graveyard shifts are so much fun.. Not..  Good news is that my legs feel ok and my resting heart rate is already back down to 44 bpm this morning.

PM-Easy 7.5 miles out to JRT and back.  Out at 7min/mi pace and back in 6:30-6:45/mi range.   No long run today, I already have a solid fifteen and twelve miler in the bank this week.  Besides I think 90 is a pretty cool number :)
