Great run today up a portion of the River Trail.  Today I just paid a lot of attention to my breathing and footstrike so that I could better assess how quick I could push myself.  I ended up running my entire time at around 8:30/mile.  I haven't had a 5 mile run like that for quite a while.  It felt awesome.  I really hit my stride around 4 miles and really felt like I had a lot left to give.  That is great with the marathon as close as it is.

Today's run was kinda pathetic.  I was supposed to run 8 miles, but my knee was really acting up.  There was a lot of pain, so I decided not to push it with the marathon as close as it is.

Today's run was awesome, but very challenging.  I ran a loop that went up through River Heights over to 1000E in Providence and up to the top of the hill that connects with Center Street in Logan.  I actually ran to the bottom of that hill and then back up it again.  It was a pretty brutal hill and to do it down both sides and up both sides back to back was quite tough.  Loved it though.

Great run down in Salt Lake today.  I ran a bunch of two mile loops, and it felt great.  Marathon here I come.
