Two miles on the Skyline High track while my boys cruised around on their bikes.

Seven miles on the treadmill.  I'll just leave it at that.

Workout with the Black Sheep. From East HS, we ran the 1.89 miles up to the new track at the U of U -- 9 lanes of springy goodness.  On the track we ran a ladder: 400/800/1200/1600/1200/800/400, with 100m walking recoveries. Times were: 86s (400m)/2:53 (800m)/4:24 (1200m)/5:40(1600m)/4:15(1200)/2:42(800m)/74s (400m). 

 I felt a little sluggish in the first couple of intervals, but the mile seemed to kick things in gear.  The final 400 was about 92% effort -- legs felt good but breath felt a little short. Recovered 1.89 miles back to the car.

Some weekend commitments required that I do the last "longish" run before the marathon today.  Began at 5:15 am from Blue Star on 2300 E with two other crazies.  Ran 3.5 and picked up another crazy.  Two of the crazies split off at about mile 7, leaving two of us to fend for ourselves the rest of the run. I was not feeling great -- stomach was not in great shape and I was relieved to see that remodeling projects had resulted in some welcome portos on the street. Stomach calmed down a bit and I ran miles 13 and 14 at "spicy" pace: 6:16 and 6:24, which was not bad considering that both miles were long climbs.

From the Lodge at Snowbird in Little Cottonwood Canyon, I ran four miles up the canyon, which included a couple of miles on the Alta Summer Road.  It was a long slow climb. Then I ran down, which was much easier. I decided to use the descent to work on a little bit of downhill effort, since I haven't done a great job preparing myself for that at SGM.  Splits were 6:02, 5:58, 5:53, 5:58.  It required very little aerobic effort, but did require some pounding on the legs, but they're fine today.
