Big Workout this morning on the Upper half of the STG course. 3.1 mile warm up. Then 13.1 miles from the starting line to the halfway point. 1.5 mile cool down. Meet up with Dave and Logan. Dave and I were going to try to hammer the workout and Logan was just doing it as a fun run. It was cool with a little tail wind and I felt really good today. PR'd on the course hitting a 1:12:22 or a 5:31 avg. Legs could have turned the second half over pretty fast too. Last time I didn't this workout I ran a 1:14:55 or so. So a big improvement. Some of it was the cooler temps but I'm hoping some of it is a big improvement:) This was the fastest I've EVER ran this section of the course.

Solid run!! You're running UVM, right? Depending on what you are gunning for, we might want to work together off the bat. I got a feeling we're both probably shooting for something in the similar time-range.

You looked really good today (from my fading view!)- keep it rolling!

Thanks guys.

Jake- I really don't have a time goal. I just want a solid run. I'll be running it with Dave Holt so your more than welcome to jump in with us. We don't want to take off too hard... just run the first half under control and then see if we can turn it up a notch on the second half.

Hope to see ya up there. Your training has been solid.

Yeah same here... I want to run smart for the first half of the race... I think I'll be shooting for something around 1:13 or a little faster for the first half. I really think the course can be negative split if you don't hammer your quads too hard in the beginning. See you in 2 weeks.
