Trails!

AM: 9 miles up to Providence Canyon.  Mostly easy, but I let gravity do its thing on the way down for some 6:30 miles

T- 1:06:40 (7:24)

PM: Planted 5 trees today and 4 Miles with the kids in the stroller.  Watching Dirty Jobs.  Love it.

Bike ride with the Tues Night Group.  This time we went out to the Newton Lake and back.  Good solid ride 

T- 2:00:00 (21.3mph)

Recovery 5 WPPW

Small workout - 

Last one before TOU!  Young ward loop.  1 mile warmup then 9 marathon pace miles then .5 mile cooldown.  It felt pretty good, but it will be a miracle if I can average this pace for the last 10 miles of the marathon.  We will see I guess.

6 easy - WPPWWP

Short Long Run -

I joined Jon's work running club for their Blacksmith Fork Training run this morning.  Nothing like the motivation of a free shuttle, drinks every 3 miles, and food at the finish.  Great gig.  I was joined by Jon and Allie.  We were dropped off at mile 3 of the TOU course and we ran back to our cars at mile 17.  Jon whined the whole way about our pace being too hard while Allie smirked and I half-stepped them the whole way.  Good times.  I did get in 2 miles at MP after a pit stop to catch up.  I also added on at the end to get exactly 14 (obsessed I guess).  That run was so short, it probably doesn't even count, but I liked it that way.  I can get used to this taper thing.

T-1:37:55 (6:59) 146 ave 165 max
