One more buildup week, and then a nice easy week before Des News. 9 muggy morning miles with Becca. I talked her ear off. Running buddies make me happy. In my perfect world, all of my running friends would live in my neighborhood.

20 minute warm up. 3 x 15 minutes with 3 minute recovery. Cooldown until I hit 12. I felt nice and under control this morning.

You know it's a hot summer when you go run at 7 am and it's 76 degrees out, and you think, "Wow. It's a little chilly this morning!"

Bad driver day. I almost got hit half a block from my house.

Such a fun morning with a big group of running friends. 12 miles flies by when you have people to run with. Ran with Jenny for the first time in forever, and with Allie. I'm pretty sure they need to move back to Utah.

7:33 average

Dragging this morning. I met Becca at Taylorsville High. We ran a 3.5 mile warm up. I'm glad I had someone to meet. Even if it was just for a couple miles. 4 x 200 and then workout. I planned on a 2000,1600,1200,800,400. I started in on the 2000, and after 800 meters decided to switch to an 800 meter workout. 8 x 800 with 400 recovery. So,.the first was 2:55 because I was planning on 2000 meters. I decided to aim for sub 2:50 on the rest, since my goal for TOU is sub 2:50. (Yasso 8's) I ran 2:48, 2:48, 2:48, 2:45,2:47, 2:46, 2:43. I felt really strong,especially considering how I dragged through the warm up. It's the first indication that the marathon training is starting to kick in. I would have been fine for a couple more, but decided to save that for another day. I have my first 20 tomorrow, and I will easily be over 70 miles this week. Cooldown home.

Pretty beat up from yesterday's 8 x 800 workout. I was grateful that Becca was willing to meet me early. It was a grinder, and it helped to have a partner. She only needed fourteen, but that means I only had to do six by myself. My garmin lost the signal at 16.2. It hadn't been measuring for about 11 minutes, so I had to estimate the distance a bit. So, I am not sure what the overall pace was. I'm sure I hit 20. It was long and hard and that's all that matters.
