Lunch: Have my boys this weekend so I am doing my LR earlier. I started out @ 7:20 pace for the first five miles with Ben Martinson. He is a newcomer and did very well today. Loving his progress for the SLC marathon. I picked it up to right at 7 minute pace for the next five miles slightly incline. Quick bathroom break then back out to do the next 10 miles. I started out the same 7:20 pace for the first couple of miles and then through in some 6:40 pace for a few(3) miles then backed off for bit. Then the mile 17 and 18 picked it back up to 6:50 pace. At mile 19 I was depleted but crusied in at 7:00 pace. Overall good LR. I feel like with 9 16 plus LR since October I am prepared to race PHX. |
