my makeup may be flaking

I have some splits from this run to record but they mainly just show me gradually speeding up from 8:30 pace to 7:30 pace, very typical for me. I ran down the Jordan river trail to 4500S. I got pretty dehydrated on this run as I slept in until about 9:30.

4.8 Miles around campus. I actually felt good today but didn't push it. Time was 35:05 (7:18 per mile).

3 loops of Sugarhouse on the road:7:53,7:51,8:03. I took 2 minutes break in between each rep. The distance on the road is 1.35 miles and the adjusted distance is 1.4. I know that these repeats should be in the 7:30s but I just felt very sluggish today. The warmup and cool down combined was 7.5 miles in 60:45 (8:06 pace).

PM, I felt much better in the evening doing 4.8 in 34:09 (7:06 pace).

Three loops of liberty park in 43:11. Very slow the first half (22:43=8:17 per mile), picked it up a little for the second half (20:28=7:27 per mile). I was definitely running in the predawn light today, uh oh. I also saw Allie leaving for work, SUCKA!!

 Math 10 miler: 17:06,11:42,18:50,11:55=59:33 total. This is OK considering that I had done another workout the day before and this was in flats. It will be interesting to see what I can hit for this slightly fresher next week. Now that I am timing all my runs I feel better about this 9.7 in 59:33=6:08 (5:57 adjusted).

Hello Seattle in December, I've missed you. Oh wait a second. It's snowing now. This run was not so bad once I got warmed up. Ran with Allie and Jake and Andrea. That's actually good grammar because I am lumping Jake and Andrea together into a single entity. Perhaps this is unfair but they were dressed identically. It was definitely better than running by myself.

6.7 in 51 mins=7:36 per mile.

7.9 miles in 57:06=7:13 per mile. Included in this was

5*(1min on-1min off)-5 min break-5*(1min on-1min off).

AM 4 miles in 31:52 (7:58 per mile)

PM 4.8 miles in 32:32 (7:48 per mile)

Frankenrun 5k.

This was a tiny race in American Fork. I raced in a bright green suit and a silly hat (and sun glasses). Before the start Andrew told me that he thought his biggest competition would be stomach issues and then Dave Taylor said he was worried about getting lost because he's "always so far out in front". Come on! Dave shot out to a big lead but I caught him at the mile. Andrew and I ran side by side until the mile 3 mark and then I unleashed my kick (which I suppose I'll have to nickname "stomach issues") and won by 8 seconds. Bwahaha.

Anyway, it was not a great time, but I attribute it to the terrain.

PM 9.5 in 67:49 (7:08 per mile).
