Distance run down to State Street and across to 27th and back.  My achilles tendon wasn't too happy for a bit but hopefully it will be fine tomorrow.  We finished off with some strides.  3 and half hours of sleep probably wasn't helping either.

Speed work today.  We ran over to Sugar House Park and did 10 intervals of 800 Meters.  I hit 2:38 pretty consistently throughout the whole workout.  My legs were giving out on the last couple.  My muscles just didn't want to continue.

Cross training day!  It was very welcomed considering I have been feeling some achilles tendonitis on the right side.  I have been doing light therapy with ice cups so hopefully by tomorrow it might be feeling better.  

Swimming was a bit boring.  I went for 35 minutes of freestyle then I did 10 minutes of sidestroke and breast stroke followed by another 5 minutes of freestyle.

We had a GREAT 5 mile tempo run this morning at Liberty.  There were 3 guys there including myself.  Hit the first mile at 6:10 and the 2nd and 6:20.  Jef and I had relaxed a little and were talking still during the second mile so I picked it up after seeing that split. I left Jef behind at that point and the 3rd mile was a 6:08.  I was feeling super good!  I picked it up some more and crossed 4 with 6 flat.  Then I was like, Yeah!  So I picked it up some more and came across the finish line with a split of 5:49.  The overall was 30:30 and I didn't even feel very winded.  This is definitely a confidence booster for conference.  Going for a sub 28.

Jef was actually able to catch me and came across right at the same time.  Well done!

Got my new shoes today.  Felt pretty good.  It's always weird trying to get used to new shoes.  Went for a minimum of 6 today.  Didn't want to overdue it with the tendonitis I have been feeling.  I still felt it on the run but hopefully I will be able to keep it at bay.

Good long run :) :)  I was a bit concerned about the tendonitis I have been having.  It seemed like it was trying to decide if it wanted to flare up or not this week.  I was battling it with news shoes, light therapy, ice cups, and cold whirlpools...  I think I may have won.  There wasn't any pain throughout the whole run.  The new shoes probably are helping. I am not going to take any chances though so I will keep taking ibuprofin today and using ice cups.  

I ran from 11th East down 17th South to 700 East... I then took that to 4th South and dropped down that to State Street.  Looped once around the Temple (got a drink from the fountain) and hiked it back up South Temple to 13th and back.  I pretty much love that run!  The only part I don't really like is 13th East because I have run it so many times.  Felt really good though!
