Age is just a number.

AM-10 miles easy on the JRT. 7-7:30/mi pace.

PM-5 miles easy late evening.  7th east. 

AM-Easy 6 miles at 7/min pace at school.  

PM-Easy 6 miles at 6:40ish-7/min pace.   7th east and Rio loop.  Practiced form by watching my shadow on the road and I noticed that my trail leg is coming up at a tighter angle now.  Interesting.. 

AM-Easy 6 miles at 6:30-6:45/mile pace.   Feeling good except that I can really feel the pavement in my feet for sure.   My T-5s are now worn to the insole on the forefoot so I have got to get some shoe goo today for sure!   I love training in racing flats but they just don't hold up as well as I would like.  This pair has close to a 1000 miles on them now! LOL..

PM- Ran with Jamal this evening.  A solid ten miles of fartlek consisting of 1 min on 1 min off over grass and hills.  Great run!   12 miles total at Sugarhouse park.

AM-Easy 6 mile recovery run at 7:30-45/mile pace.  7th east out and back.

PM-Easy 6 miles at 7/min-7:30/mile pace.  7th east and Trax loop. 

AM-Easy 10 miles this morning via 7th east up to Dimple Dell and back down.  6:30-7/min pace.

PM-Easy-medium 5 miles this afternoon.  6:30-6:40ish/mile. 7th east up to the gas station and back the long way.   Weighed in and noticed I had lost a few pounds since last month, I need to eat more now thats for sure.  Eggs and toast in the morning just don't fill the gas tank enough now:)

AM-Easy 10 miles at 7-7:30/mile pace.  7th and 13th loop.  Putting more in later today hopefully as this weekend is not going to be easy in getting a little break from my boys.  Call me crazy but I actually regret giving away our jogging stroller!

PM-Took a nap for a couple of hours and headed out again for another 10 miles this afternoon with 3 min on 3 min off for 3 miles total of VO2 work. Really pushed on the downs as hard as I could to work on turnover and economy.  Oh man I am tired and very hungry and you know Cafe Rio just smelled way too good today.. 7th and 2300 east out and back course.  Easy jog for a cooldown on 7th.

AM-Long run early this morning.  Too early and a little sluggish at first but things warmed up though both body and weather wise and the outlook was sunny without a cloud in the sky.  Picked up the pace to 5:40 ish for the last 3 of the run with early miles at 7-7:30/mile effort.  18 miles total on Dimple Dell and Wasatch blvd.   You know it kind of made up for not being able to run TOU today:)  Next time..

PM- Nah.. 18 miles is plenty today.  These last two weeks have been two of the most productive training weeks I've had in a long time and I feel pretty good when all is said and done. No aches, no injuries, just a little fatigue now and then is all.  I seem to be getting stronger, faster and for the first time in many months I entertained the thought of going after an Olympic qualifier at the age of 40.  Can it be done?  And how many people at 40 have actually done it?  I think I'll look that one up tonight for sure.   I don't know, I might be having pipe dreams but then again just maybe.
