Age is just a number.

AM-17 miles down through the Jordan River tail and around to home.  7:30-6:43/mile pace.

PM-4 miles of easy jogging down to the trax rail corridor and to old Midvale/Vincent drug. 8-8:30/mile pace.

Easy 10 miles in the foothills by the resevoir this afternoon.  Rolling up and down. Starting to finally get used to the heat I think.   1:05 total time.   6:30-40/mile average.   Felt really good again today.  

AM-10 miles with 5 coming back down from 2300 east to home.  26:38 for the 5 mile AT back.  2.5 in 12:33,  then leveling off  flat with 2 in 11:02 and then down 2.5% for the last half in 2:31.   26:06 total time. 95 degrees.  Course PR.   Can't believe I'm running like this now in the heat.   Amazing what a little sleep can do I guess..  

PM-5 miles easy jogging at 8-8:30/mile pace.  Some AI type stretching in the hamstring and glute areas to help get loose again.  Huge dinner at the China Gourmet as a reward for todays effort.  Put away two plates of salad and shrimp and then two more plates of rice and sesame chicken and fish!

Ten miles for a double hard day to promote blood volume and permit a longer recovery stretch until Saturday.   Five miles up in 34:13 and five miles down 26:23. Overall a 6:03 average pace for 10 miles. 85-90 degree temp.    God bless and have a good evening.

AM-Easy 5 miles at 7:30-8:30/mile.   Recovery day even though I  still felt pretty good.  Held back and stayed off the hills as much as I could today to give my legs some easy mileage.  7th east out and back.    Beautiful morning today.  It might be a bit warm but that's ok because winter will be here soon enough.    

 PM-Decided to allow some downtime this evening.

AM-Got up early because my work schedule is flipping to an overnight for one day.  I have to be careful on the intensity before and after otherwise I end up getting over revved and then I can't sleep!   Sounds strange I know but my body works like that.    However, we adapt and we survive right?  6 miles total at 6:30-6:43/mile.   Quarry bend and 13th east loop.  I like to go high in mileage and intensity at the beginning of the week and then come down in the middle before a final spike on the weekend.  I think this pattern works really well for me.  Kind of taking the hard-easy method a step further I suppose.    Practiced form drills on a slight decline monitoring heart rate at different stride frequencies and knee angles etc.  Form can not be really changed all that much, but I have found like posture it can get sloppy if you don't pay attention to it.

AM2-4 miles easy at 8:00/mile pace.  Not as warm today but still in the 80s. 

Just an easy 4 miles.   No time.   Enjoyed our sub-Saharan climate!
