30 minutes into our trip, I realized I forgot to pack any running shoes. Once we got to Cottonwood Heights, I went to Sierra Trading Post and got a $40 pair of Skechers. Of all the pairs of shoes I've owned, this was definitely the best FIRST run in a pair. If the rest of the week is this nice I will probably go and buy several more pairs of this shoe. After a 3 mile warm up run, I felt good enough to do a lactate threshold (6:40/mile) workout. 5 minutes, ymin, and 7 min with 1 minute recoveries. 30 minutes easy. 5 min, 6 min, 7 min, 6 min, and 5 min with 1 minute recoveries. Finished with a 1 mile cool down. 16 miles in 1:59:38 on the treadmill. |
