Age is just a number.

AM-13 miles with 4 at MP pace. Jordan River trail.

PM-7 miles easy. Draper-Sandy loop. 

AM-9 miles easy-medium pace on the JT trail.

PM-7 miles easy. Draper bench area.

AM-10 miles easy Sandy Parkway trail then down to Draper and then home. Legs felt good on the last mile in 5:42.

PM-6 miles easy. Draper loop. 6:40/avg.

PM2-4 miles easy. 7-8min/mi. Easy jogging later this evening.

AM-10 mile progressive. 7th east course. 2 easy mi progressing into 3 mp miles, then 3 mile AT. Finally 10x1 min hard with 1min slower but not jog pace to keep HR up. 57:26 total time. Not bad considering a head wind half of the time. Yuck!

PM-10 miles easy finishing 3 sub 6 min miles at the end. Felt ok. Really starting to bounce back from the 30k now. Stretching afterwards for 10 min.

AM-6 easy miles. Sandy Parkway trail. 65-70% mhr. Felt good this morning even though it was a bit nippy. Was shocked by resting pulse this morning considering yesterdays workouts. For future reference it was 36 bpm. Strange phenomenon because usually after a workout like yesterday it hovers around the mid 40 range. Thought that it might be a tired state but was able to run 6:45 pace pretty comfortably for a recovery pace. Is this the start of a peak with the higher mileage and speedwork? Will be interesting to see as I do more vo2 work now for the shorter distances coming soon. I feel like my nervous system has been reset in a strange way overnight.

AM-6 easy miles on the treadmill. 7/min mi avg. 1-1.5% incline.

AM-Not enough time to do a long run today so I decided to run Sashas little experiment. I ran a 5 mile tempo progressively increasing the pace from 5:45 to eventually 5:15/mi. I then ran the last mile in 4:57. Well it was a good workout but I am not so sure that it will really predict an accurate race pace for Ogden. THR- 146 bpm for 5:50/mi, 150 bpm for 5:40/mi, 160 bpm for 5:15/mi and then 170-172 bpm for 5/min mi. Told ya I could do it Sasha... 7 mi total with warmup and cooldown. Treadmill flat.

PM-Went out with my wife tonight instead of my usual training run. I was very glad I did so. Training twice a day is not only tough for me but difficult for the family, especially after being at work for 9 hrs. They have been so patient and Ian always begs to go with me. One day I suppose he will and then outrun me to get home for dinner! I love them so much and sometimes I have to remember where my priorities are really at.
