Why Not?

Nice and easy 4 miles with Sammy. My legs feel okay after yesterday.

PM: 42:00 rather easy with Erica. She is also running Wasatch Back so she's in the "10 days to get in shape" mode. My legs felt good. Calf is a little tight, or it's the achilles. But I think I'll be able to fight both of them off.

AM: Nice, cool morning with the sun shining. Great morning to do anything. Ran about 4 miles with Sammy. My legs felt better this morning than they did any morning last week. Must be a good sign. No lunch run today -- workout at PCHS tonight. 400s

PM: Workout at the North 40 Fields in Park City. Grass Loop, 400 M. We even checked it with the GPS to make sure it was accurate. A little downhill, but also a little soft, even some mud in one spot. Not super quick, but nice.

The first 8 were all 73 or 74, with one 72 sprinkled in there. 73,73,74,72,73,73,74

The last four were a little quicker: 73,69,69,62

Great workout for the HSers. 4 of them ran the entire thing with times very similar to mine. I felt crappy most of the time, my legs felt tired. But now I know that I'm in shape. I was never really tired, I just wasn't clicking like I would want to. I also felt that I could have done at least 4 more at 73-74. This is a good sign. I am strong right now, and ready to race this weekend.

AM: 2 miles with Sammy. Slept in through the alarm and only had about 15 minutes to run. The weather was beautiful though. Gonna get hot later in the day.

PM: 7 miles at Silver Summit. Ran some mountain bike trails and some pretty good-sized hills. Nice training at the elevation though. It was a tad warm.

Out

AM: Woke up earlier than normal for me and got in 5 miles with Sammy. I felt great and pushed it for the last 2-3. Again, the weather in the morning is just awesome. I'm glad I have the opportunity to get out there and put some miles in.

Need to consider how much to taper for Wasatch Back. Maybe 10 today and 10 tomorrow easy will do it.

 PM: 3 miles easy.  What can I say, a little taper is nice.

Woke up early and ran 5.5 with Sammy Dog.  Another awesome morning. ran the dirt roads and then down Midway Lane.  Great run.

PM: 3.5 miles easy with Erica. Getting read for the relay.

AM: 2.5 miles with Sammy. Kinda chilly this morning. This night might be a little cool.

WBR:  3.5 miles in 18:44.  Ran about 5:20 pace, pretty happy considering it was dark outside and I was dodging some traffic. Nice course, and nice and cool.

WBR: 6.4 miles in 38:50.  Kept it right at 6:00 pace, tried to pick it up for the last two miles, but 6:00 pace was all that I had. The run felt very long for only being 6 miles, I guess I was already getting tired before this run started. 15 minute sleep just wasn't enough.

WBR: Ragnar 4 miles. It was awful and I was hurting... badly. 34:30 for 4 miles and I was pretty happy with that time. I think for much of it I was over 9:00 pace, some parts probably over 10:00 pace. But I finsihed. Yikes.

Total Mileage for Fri-Sat including warmups and cooldowns: 26
