10 miles this morning up into GS and back. It felt cooler this morning during the run, like really, really nice. So when I got home at 6:10 a.m I checked and it said 66 degrees. Wow that's the first time I've seen it in the 60's since like April or at least May. I was loving it. The run felt pretty good. I was kind of slow getting going and hit 5 miles in 39:50- and 10 miles at 1:13:32. So I was able to pick it up a little. Now off to work! (New Landreth- 53.2) I'm trying to keep this week a recovery/ taper week even though I'm not officially racing. It seems my hamstring is feeling just a little better every day with the low intensity and miles. So this afternoon after work I wasn't going to do anything but got board around the house and opted for a mountain bike ride for some cross training. Ugh... 13.25 miles later I finished it up. I went up to the city creek trail that runs around the rim above Dixie Red Hills golf course and weaves around up there everywhere... then I made it over to the running store. When I got there I was a just over 7 miles and it had been 1:01:45 since I left the house. Grueling! It was 104 degrees when I left the house and I was out of water before I even got to the dirt. Anyways I grabbed some water at the store and just took the road back home up over skyline dr. Good workout = 3.3 miles of running.
