Biked 42 miles after work.  I did a tempo ride for the first 10 miles.  Average speed = 21 mph.  Picked up Cathy for a ride to Kayenta and back.  This was more of a hill ride and I pushed Cathy a little harder than normal.  She did alright!!

I ate a small dinner and 3 glasses of water, then I ran a 3.1(5k) to my office from home in 23:39 (splits: 8:15, 7:32, 7:09). I took about a 15 minute break to answer some emails and then headed home for another 3.1(5k) run. Second 5k at a 22:02 (splits: 7:00, 7:12, 7:05). I was testing myself to see if a 3:20 marathon in 3 weeks is possible. I have my doubts, but I did just run 24 miles on saturday and I just biked 42 miles on hill terrain. And the cramps from eating and drinking may have played into it!?

Ran up brigham rd and around bloomington hills over to the dixie ctr.  First 2 miles was uphill and against the wind.  my legs felt tired from yesterdays workouts, but the legs wanted to go faster than easy.

Splits: 9:08, 8:44, 8:19, 8:08, 7:52, 7:54

After my meeting at the dixie ctr, I ate, came home, and Elijah went out with me for 4 more miles.  We did the first 2 miles easy, 3rd mile was a tempo pace, and last mile recover.  Splits: 9:33, 9:17, 6:54, 8:53

What was I thinking?!?! The wind was so strong!!!!  I fought the headwinds, uphill for the first 2 miles.  I was sand blasted and knocked over a few times.  Mile 3 was better when I found some protection from hills and houses.  Mile 4 & 5 was with the wind at my back and I just sailed with no effort.  I am glad thats over!

Mile splits: 8:44, 8:39, 8:20, 8:01, 7:38, and last 0.5 mile at 8:36 pace.

Odgen marathon is in 2 weeks and it was snowing on the course today. I hope it's a lot better weather by race day!!

Ran with Cathy, Joshua, and Britnee.  We did Cathy pace with walk breaks.  She ran a liitle harder today so we averaged 9:30 paces.  When we were actually running she was running about a 8:30 pace.  Josh and Brit fell off at mile 9.  At the end of the run I ran about 2 miles at my goal pace 7:30.

Mile Splits: 10:12, 9:57, 9:02, 9:38, 9:06, 9:20, 10:01, 9:08, 9:40, 9:19, 9:53, 9:44, 9:09, 8:31, 7:19, and last 0.4 mile at 8:12 pace.
