1-5:41- Good start and a little uphill in the middle of the mile

2-5:40- Nice downhill

3-5:51- Starting to hurt and struggling a bit

5K split- 17:49

4-6:06- Slight uphill out of Toquerville, then rolling

5-5:39- Zooming downhill feeling ok

28:59 (5:48 pace) Barely broke 29:00

2 mile cool-down.

This was a good workout for me.  I plan to continue doing this tempo route throughout the summer, once I start building up the miles more I'll try to increase to 6 and 7 mile tempo runs.  I also would like to do the tempo route down Valley View that I was doing last year with Bill and Mike.

Just an easy 3 miles this evening pushing Jarren in the stroller, Sunny running and Jansen riding his bike along.

Basketball for an hour and then rode my bike to school today.

Ran 7 miles over 600 North to Wal-Mart.  This wasn't a very good run this afternoon 58 minutes and I was fighting a strong headwind the entire time.  I just felt slow and the rest of the body felt tired.  I think I used some muscles I don't normally use when I rode my bike today. 

I spent most of the afternoon over in St. George so I didn't drive back over for the club run.  Instead I did 6 miles down through Confluence Park.  I felt a little better than the run yesterday.  Glad to have the next few months off from teaching.

Basketball for 70 minutes, then a 4 mile easy run over to Hurricane and back, now off to roof a house all day.  Are people meeting to run tomorrow?

I didn't get a run in today, just finished roofing and now feel pretty beat up.  Hope to start refreshed on Monday.
