AM - ran 6 miles on the treadmill. First 4 miles at 8:30 pace, then bumped it up to 7:30 pace for a mile. Last mile was at 6:40 pace. Everything felt good. No pain, felt good cardiovascular-wise. I think I am definitely going to try to do that 5K next Saturday to see where my fitness is. I am also thinking of doing the TOU 1/2 marathon in August, since there are no 1/2 marathons in the area (the only one we had was cancelled this year due to sponsor fatigue). We will have to see how that goes. I would love to get in a good 1/2 before SGM to better gauge my fitness. Will do another 4 miles or so this evening. PM - another 4 miles, nice and easy. Legs felt kind of tired from earlier, and from going grocery shopping shortly afterward this morning. But I got in my 10 miles, and hit 44 miles for the week. I will probably plan on maintaining next week or maybe adding just a couple miles on. I am getting excited about hitting 50 miles, and should be able to top 60 mpw before St. George.
