I headed out for my run thinking I would go 10 miles.  Instead, I decided to do a tempo run, and only go 6.  My first mile was a warm-up mile at 8 pace then I went 7:07, 7:09, 7:04, 6:52, and 7:04 on the last 5 miles.

The legs felt pretty good.  A little sore at first, but that went away in the first mile.

I did the 6 miles at an average of 7:27 pace.  I'm trying to pick up the pace on my shorter runs now.

I got a good workout in at the gym this morning.  Then I hit the river trail to bust out 4 fast miles.  The legs felt great even after the workout.  I was 7:18, 7:07, 7:03, and 6:55.

Dace and I did the figure 8 this morning.  The first mile was 7:32 then we were well below marathon pace after that.  I finished the run up at 7:14 pace overall.  I probably would've went out slower if Dace wasn't there so it was good to run with him to push my pace out a little bit.

My legs were just a bit fatigued from all of the tempo runs this week.

We were at the cabin for Memorial Day weekend which is at 8400 ft. of elevation so hopefully it was a good training run for the Utah Valley marathon.  The first 7 out weren't bad, but on the way back it's mostly uphill and the headwinds were pretty bad. 

Kelcey ran with me for the first 1.5 miles or so.  We went at a turtle's pace, and then he turned around.  It was a good run at the higher elevation which is what I hadn't had in my training up to this point other than Dammeron Valley.
