Good group run with the Crew. Dave did a little over 7. Matty and D did 8 miles. Jason, Riley and I did a little over 10 for the day. Started from the hospital and headed west for a bit and did most of the run in the terrace and South Ogden. Stomach was killing me this morning. Haven't had one of these days for quite sometime. Need to hydrate better during the day most likely. Weighed in @ 149.9 after my run today. Lowest weight I have been since 2009. Hopefully it will play out to a great race next weekend.

Workout|Wednesday

Last semi-big work before the marathon next weekend.

Met Jason and Ken at Kneaders to leave a car then drove up to Bues and Skyline to meet Riley. From there we did our typical warm of 4K. Then jumped into the workout.

Workout was 10K @ goal Marathon pace, 1K rest, 8K at goal marathon pace, 2K cool.

Splits for the first 10k were- 3:34; 3:32, 3:34; 3:30; 3:29; 3:27; 3:23; 3:14; 3:21; 3:23.

Overall time was 34:27, avg KM was 3:27 or 5:33 min/mile.

Splits for the 8K were- 3:20; 3:13; 3:35; 3:22; 3:17; 3:17; 3:20; 3:19

Overall time was 26:43, avg KM was 3:20 or 5:22 min/mile.

2K jog back to the car.

Workout felt really good today. Really felt like I was holding back for the first 6K of the workout then decided to go with the flow for the rest of the way. I am feeling really good going into next weeks race. Legs are feeling good, workouts have been great, weight is the lowest its been in years. Its been a fun build up, hopefully the marathon will be just as fun.
