Planned on doing a 3-miler this morning before going in to work. I missed my turn and went 4.

Carson City, NV 1pm

Pace: 8:57

Decided to run up the mountain for a Robie prep run. I planned on doing a 12-mile loop on dirt roads. I made a wrong turn and cut across, turning it into ten, but steeper and more rocky in places. It was good to get out in the hills again though.

Took a loop around the city. The virtual partner on my new watch is really cool, but I think I pushed it too hard up the last hill because he was catching up. Now my legs are sore and I have a long run planned. Dumb

Carson City, NV 11:30am

Pace: 8:34

I planned on doing my first Ogden long run on Saturday, but since I had a free day today I figured I could get it out of the way and spend Saturday with the family.

It was a good plan except that I think I worked it too hard on Tuesday and Wednesday. I was kind of sore and tired before I even started. The first 13 miles worked out pretty well. I went around the west end of town feeling pretty good and keeping a decent pace - around 8:10.

Then I stopped off at the hotel to refuel and when I went back out I felt like hell. I bonked at 15.5 miles. I found myself sitting in the parking lot of the Nugget Casino wondering how I was going to get back to the hotel.

So, I went over to a gas station and bought a bottle of water. Drank half of it and took off down Carson Street and slogged it out back to the hotel. I'd planned on doing 20, but ended up at 18. Next time I'll prepare a little better.

I went out for a short run this morning just to shake the legs out after yesterday's long one. And because I've run every non-Sunday since the first of the year and I didn't want to stop now. I'm calling it a Mormon Streak (I just made that up).

A very blustery day. Held a good pace running with the wind, had to grind it out into the wind. Funny how it works that way.
