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.

The first Pah Tempe Hill Workout of the year, also the first time puking during a workout for the year.

The goal was just to hit each under 2:20.  I figured that would be a good goal, especially since I don't know where I'm at fitness wise. 

Did a two mile warm-up then got into the workout.  The plan was just to do3 repeats today.

1-2:10 This one felt super easy, but I made the mistake of going to hard, which caused problems for the rest of the workout.

2-2:16 Wow this one didn't feel good at all. Arms, legs, hips everything just froze up

3-2:18 Well, after puking after the second repeat and taking a little extra rest I attempted the last one.  It felt pretty good until the last little hill, which really wiped me out.

Didn't have time for a real long cool down so just headed back home about 1.5 miles

Anyway, glad I made my way through this workout.  I'm sure these will get easier with time.

Ran all over this afternoon.  Went over to Hurricane then back to La Verkin, then down through Confluence Park on a new trail, which was cool.
