Day 1 of my 18 week schedule for the Utah Valley Marathon. The workout today was supposed to be 8 miles total with 4 miles tempo. Well I did a 2 mile warm-up over toward Hurricane then got right into the tempo, but I planned on only doing 3 miles, just because I don't think I could have handled 4 yet. I ran out to 700 South then all the way west until the road turns back to the state road. The tempo went ok, pretty flat surface which was good. 1 mile 6:13 2 mile 6:22 3 mile 6:33 I was really hurting on this mile, thought for sure I was going to have a little "accident" anyway this mile was also slightly uphill Overall total was 19:12 so not bad (6:24 average) Ran 1 mile cool-down and barely made it to McDonald's to use the bathroom, then ran to the middle school to use Jordan's cell phone to have Sunny come pick me up, since I wasn't feeling too great. Anyway, she was busy and couldn't come get me, so I just ran home easy. Good day, but 10 miles total is quite the workout for me right now.
