My first mile split was a 6:20 with the stadium uphill, so I knew it was going to be a faster run than I would have liked ideally. I tried to keep things relatively relaxed for the first half of the run, but it didn't work very well as I had a girl on the USU XC team out in front of me that I ended up passing. I actually passed another one, the girl from Lehi, later on in the run. Aerobically things were a little hard on the uphills, but the last couple of miles felt pretty good. I ended up averaging right on 6 flat miles.

The first half of my run was basically trying to rein things in and not bust things out. My right arch did hurt during the first few miles though. Obviously the long hill is always a fun one to run up as well. The second half of my run I felt really good and was able to hold a solid pace feeling comfortable. Ended up averaging 6:05s.

Went out for an easy seven miles. I didn't wear the watch, so that helped me mentally to not feel like I needed to push it at all, so I just ran what felt right. It started to snow on me the last few miles. When I went up on the dirt path, I just had to keep the legs churning through the snow. My right arch still was still a little achy, but things overall just felt good. Mentally the first 2.5 miles felt like forever though.

Back in West Point for a few weeks. Went out in the morning, and felt really relaxed and easy for the first two miles, and then started to pick it up a little more with the uphills. About four miles in my legs started to feel tired, but it didn't really slow me down. I opened things up a little the last two miles. Averaged for the run was 6:02

Went out for an easy six miles on the good old small road. I was fighting the wind for the first half, but that was fine because it kept things in check. My lower legs were bothering me a little, but nothing bad.

It was pretty windy this morning, so I ended up just having to run two loops to try and minimize running against the wind. The nice thing is that there aren't any crazy uphills to slow me down in West Point. I also drank some Gatorade halfway through my run for the first time to start experimenting with fueling. That didn't really bother me at all. My right hip started to bother me the last mile, but it should be fine. Was 6:15 pace for the first 7 miles, and 6:09 average for the whole run, so that would work out to 6:03 average for the second 7 miles.
