3.3 miles in 25:15 (7:39/mile)

Took a couple days off and today I just ran an easy 3 around South Jordan.

8 miles in 56:52, (7:06/mile)

First 4 miles in 29:33 (7:23/mile)
Last 4 miles in 27:19 (6:49/mile)

Met up at the store for our group run. The first 4 miles we ran fairly easy. Ran with Andrew and Blake. When we made the second loop I felt like Blake started to push it a little bit so then I started to push it and the rest of the way I just tried to maintain pace haha. Good run though, felt good.

5.44 miles in 41:16, (7:35/mi)

Yay it is starting to get cooler and its perfect running weather!

2mile warm up
3 miles in 18:52 (6:17/mile)
2mile cool down

The best part about todays run was that I was able to negative split all 3 miles. My splits went 6:28, 6:19, 6:05. Everything felt great. I ran on the Riverton 5k course where I ran my first post mission race in 20:53...so at least I can tell theres been improvement from April hahaha. Im slowly getting back into shape, hopefully next summer I can run into the 17's for 5k and 36's for 10k, although I must say 5ks just don't excite me anymore.

I had no idea what to expect from this race and I kinda jumped into it last minute. Thursday I ran pretty hard and didn't run friday so I wasn't expecting any sort of special time from this race. It also ended up being quite a bit harder than I thought it would be. We went out in a small pack in the front and for some reason I honestly felt like we were going a little slow...I kinda picked it up and jumped out to the front and ran along side Dennis Simonaitis, he is really tall haha he towered over me. Well needless to say for me I should not have tried to run with him. My first mile was 5:59, way too fast for me at this point in time. I know I can do that but Im just not in that kind of shape right now. I should look at it positively though because it was fun to run that fast. I faded quite a bit with the hills and finishing into the wind is never enjoyable. Many were complaining about how hard the course was. Yep I agree. It was fun to meet fellow blogger prestonmadera, hes a stud. I also talk with the 5k winner, David Rasmussen, he also ran at Bingham. Ive met him a few times but haven't talked to him since before my mission. Best part about saturday was Utahs win :)
