Aerobic builder after class today. I was unable to get in a run yesterday due to studying for finals and so I was a little ancy to get out today. Today the tempo felt really easy and relaxed in a way it was enjoyable.

Did my normal North Ogden to Harrisville loop. On the schedule the goal pace was 5:32-5:35 pace so I started out at 5:35 pace then worked my way into the tempo. My avg splits for the last 4 miles were 5:27 pace. Had an overall avg of 5:31 min/miles.

3 warm/1.10 cool back home. COLD TODAY! 17 Degrees!

You're doing great Benny Van! St. George Half will be an awesome race for you at the rate you're improving. Keep at it; stay hungry and don't settle!
