I got some good rest yesterday and felt pretty decent today.  I started out nice and easy and by mile 5 I was running 7:00 miles easily.  That is a good sign for me.  I ran the Providence-River Heights Loop.

Today I ran the Young Ward loop via the Landfill and the Paved River Trail.  I didn't feel great going out the door, but I am glad I went as I felt better once I got going.  My goal today was to run 7 miles at goal MP (6:30ish) and then be strong through the rest of the run.  I ran one mile to warmup at 6:56 pace and go to work.

After the 7 miles tempo, I decided to ignore the watch and just run at what felt comfortable, while still trying to maintain sub 7.  I was pleased when I heard the mile beep and checked the times to see that I wasn't slowing down too much.

I feel really good about the run as it shows to me that I can hold 6:30ish pace for at least 1/2 of the marathon.  Two months ago I thought that 6:30 was too fast but not now.  If I can keep my HR below 170, I can run for quite a while at that pace.  I do hate it when I feel much better during a training run than during a race, but I will live.

Recovery Day.  I ran and picked up Paul and we ran a River Heights Loop and then I tacked on some River Trail.  Felt good to go slow.

I ran the Providence - Millville loop today hitting all the hills.  I started out at about 7:00 pace and then pushed up the 200E hill thru the neighborhoods to canyon road.  I was pretty tired as a result of pushing so hard.  Once I hit the top, I jumped into a fartlek.  3 min hard 1 easy.  I was shooting for 6:00 pace as if it were flat.  Some of the sections had some good downhill, so those sections were faster.  During the second fast section, I caught up to a guy running at about 7:00 pace.  I had seen him before running in Providence.  I asked if he wanted to join me and he did.  His name is Mark Jorgensen and he claimed a 3:10 marathon PR.  I looked him up on Athlinks (3:10:41 @ TOU in 02).  He is training for Ogden.  I think he could break 3 hours.  He kept up with me for 3 miles or so before he had to go home.  It was nice to have some random company.  I invited him to join us for our long run saturday and he said he would.  After he left, I did 1 more fast 3 mins and died.  I coudln't keep the pace on the slight uphill I was on.  I decided I was done at that point and went home.

#1 .53 mi in 3:01 (5:43 pace)

#2 .52 mi in 3:04 (5:54 pace)

#3 .58 mi in 3:14 (5:37 pace) good downhill here, and got talking and forgot about the time.

#4 .52 mi in 3:00 (5:46 pace) Mark's last one

#5 .47 mi in 3:00 (6:30 pace)

I ran the rest of the way home at about 7:00 pace.  I was wiped.  Looking forward to an easy day tomorrow.

Ran to Pauls house and met up with the Logan crew (Paul, Jon, James, Dan, and newcomer Mark).  We took it pretty easy for most the run with a fast mile (Mr. Garmin said 6:06).  We ran up Logan Canyon to the campground and back.  Nice run to train the body to burn fat.  I was feeling low on fuel the whole second half.  I ran home from Pauls house after the run

Paul, I had a bit of a heart rate drift towards the end as predicted.  I drifted about 10bpm.  Dehydration and fatigue.

Good week for me as I hit my goal of 65 miles.  I plan on 70 next week.
