     Went over to Weston Canyon for some uphill and downhill tempo. Ran 2 miles of warmup at 7:41 pace. Then 3 miles down the canyon at 6:31 ave. 4 min break then back up the canyon at 7:19 ave pace. Another 4 min rest then back down at 6:22 ave pace. There was no wind on the first to intervals but I started to get an up the canyon headwind on the last 3 miles down. Average pace for the 9 miles of tempo was 6:45. Felt like a good workout. Now if I can just get through a couple of 20 milers and a couple more good tempo runs while also making big jumps in weekly mileage over the next 2 weeks without getting injured. That's not to much to ask, is it? Then hopefully I can run a decent marathon at TOU. I decided to skip TOU Half this weekend. I was worried about doing a half so close to the full on my limited post injury training.

     11 miles 6:55 AP

Very nice workout. Looks like you should be good and ready for TOU.
