Craig and I ran a section of the St George Marathon route from Dameron Vly to Bluff street. We wanted to hit a marathon goal time for the entire run. We planned to start out easy and work up, but run fast enough at the end to make our average pace a 7:38. We were close... 7:42... our total time was exceeded by 48 seconds. The run felt easy and I'm confident that we will be able to hit that 3:20 goal!!! :D
Mile Splits: 8:53(uphill & warm-up), 8:08(warm-up), 7:47(wanted to go back to bed), 7:35, 7:29, 7:18, 7:20, 7:29, 8:06(shoe failure), 7:22, 7:15, 7:59(not sure why we slowed down), 7:19, and last 0.1 at a 7:08 pace.
After our run we biked the Gunlock/Veyo loop. I only did the 30 miles of climbing and I retrieved my car in Dameron Valley. Craig rode back down the moutain to St George. We didn't push it too hard since we were a liitle tired after our run. This is suppose to be a recovery week!!! |
