Easy run up in North Ogden. Run was mixed trails with some roads. Little bit of exploring on some trails but overall nice even pace, not stressful at all.

avg pace 7:04 min/miles

P.M.

4.25 miles in the evening after a good study session for my LAST final on thursday.

Keep having these thoughts go across my mind on how grateful I am for friends and family in my life. Running takes alot of time and patience and with the understanding of everyone in my life I dont think it would be possible to be where I am at now.  I am also grateful for STG Running Center and for Steve Hooper and his crew for treating me so well and love representing the Elite Team and what they bring to the running community. Also I am grateful for Skechers and the hard push that are bringing to the running market and I am glad that I can be in the mix of all it.

WRC 30K

Alright so the goal for today was to honestly build my endurance. I have been slacking on my long runs which I think has been hurting my times in the Half. So the last 3 weeks I have been dedicated to getting these long runs in. 

Plan was to warm for 2 miles then hit the race hard! But with the rain and wind it changed everything which was fine. So for the first 6 miles my goal was around 6 min pace, the next 6 to hit sub 5:50 pace, then last 6.7 to be around or sub 5:40 pace. I hit the first 12 like I wanted but with the rain and wind I was content to keept the pace even and I just go with it. Which was great. I felt solid for the entire 30K and didnt waiver on fatigue at all, which is a good sign! 

Fitness is coming around and I really do miss the long endurance runs! 

Good to finish off the circuit. I think if I am right and will have to check I have won it 4 times in last 5 years, I think? Anyway overall perspective is that running is enjoyable and just glad to be running healthy right now.
