AM-Easy 10 miles on Foothill and Sugarhouse practicing different pacing on certain sections. This coming marathon will be more of a dry run this time around mainly because I just don't believe that I have enough 80 plus mile weeks in the bank for much else. However that being said I do believe I can make a strong showing with the amount of work I have done so far. I can not recall a time since 2007 that I have trained this hard and steady. Well.. at least for a 3 month period. Just have to pick a goal and not go in expecting anything too lofty such as a win. In any event it should be fun and especially now that as I get older I run more and more with the idea of just relaxing and having fun for once. So that leads into my other idea of a successful marathon; one where I can finally recall and appreciate the scenery also! LOL! By the way I am tapering albeit a very subtle one:) I'm having too good of a time just running lately. Gee that's a switch huh? PM-Track workout with Wasatch Athletics at the Olympic Oval tonight. The workout consisted of speed changes with 1x mile in 5:09 and 10x400 (missed the second 400m due to a emergency bathroom stop..) So 9x400m in 71, 67, 71, 69, 70, 71, 68, 70, & 66. Felt a little sluggish at the beginning of the workout however it did get better as the workout progressed which was a good sign especially with a 66 last quarter:) On another note after talking with a friend tonight about the workout and our kids I realized it's time to cut back and start spending more time with my kids. He always reminds of that and I'm glad because he's right; they grow up so fast and they are but only young for a short period of time.. I'm getting better at it however it's still one area I struggle on a bit.
