Did an ok workout this afternoon over at the Hurricane Track. I did a 1.5 mile warm-up, it was 102 when I started.  After the warm-up I did

5 x 800 at Yasso Pace with 400 meter recovery

1-2:56 (5:53 pace)

2-2:55 (5:52 pace)

3-2:58 (6:03 pace) measured a bit short of  .49

Took 5 minute break to get water and cool off.  Sign at the high schol now said it was 106

4-2:59 (6:01 pace)

5-3:01 (6:03)

The first three felt ok, but the last two were a struggle.  Probably a combination of the heat and being out of shape.

1 mile recovery

1 mile cool-down

3-Ran over to the cemetery with Jarren, walked around there for awhile, then ran over to the cow field and back home.

30 minutes on the bike.  I really didn't feel like running much tonight.  My PF was hurting pretty good.

3-Did the La Verkin Loop, was nice to get up and run when it was still cool out.  I had to stop at Farmer's Market early in the run to use the bathroom, but besides that a nice way to start the morning.

6- Did the Bloomington loop with the club.  I felt pretty good.  I started on the steroid inhaler again today.

Basketball this morning, planning on an easy 6 this afternoon and then hopefully 15 miles tomorrow.

6-Ran over to Hurricane City park, ran into some of my students hanging out at the park, (just what I didn't need or want on a Friday afternoon, especially these kids, they were a rough bunch)  After getting a drink at the park I then struggled the rest of the way home.  I did another mile in the garage on the treadmill to make it 6.  PF was hurting some and still coughing up stuff.

15- Really good run down the marathon course for me today.  I haven't done any long runs, since the Utah Valley Marathon back in June.  Last Saturday I ran 10 and averaged 7:12 pace, today I felt much better hit 15 miles with an overall average of 6:49.  I kept it easy the first 4 miles, then gradually picked up the pace, and a few miles were I backed off, but overall a pretty good effort.

Glad I got out this morning and always nice to run some miles with Mike, Bill, and Cody.  I'm still feeling nervous about the marathon, hope to get in a few more long runs.
