my makeup may be flaking

2.5 hour long run. I ran up through Sugarhouse to Tanner Park. Then I ran along the bike path to Thunderbird, then to Wasatch, then the Shoreline Trial. I then weaved through campus and back home. Started this run very slowly, but I felt pretty good at the end.

Ran to Sugarhouse and did three loops on the road. Run included 6*(5mins hard-5mins easy). Total time 1:24:55 (7:12 pace)

PM 4.8 miles in 33:26. (6:58 per mile)

AM 4 miles 31:08 (7:47 pace). On the wood chips at Liberty park. I kept slipping on them for some weird reason.

PM Steady run: Math 10 miler. My legs felt pretty tight today. I actually stopped for 30 seconds at one point to pound on my IT bands. This made the first part of the run (which is downhill) pretty bad but it gradually got better.

1st section was 17:35 for 3 miles (5:51 pace but only 6:05 adjusted). I was not surprised by this as I was being held back by my achy legs more than anything.

2nd section was 11:42 for 1.85 miles (6:19 pace but 5:54 adjusted). Definitely felt my effort increase here on the uphill.

Death was 18:12 for 2.9 (6:16 pace pace, 5:44 adj). I'm starting to feel better on the uphill as it is using my legs more than my lungs.

Final was 11:07 for 1.95 (5:42 pace, 5:44 adj). Felt great to end the run and managed to run 58:38 total 6:03 but 5:53 adjusted.

AM I guess I'll call this the JAJA run. Really great morning. The weather is holding, for now, but it is getting darker. I find it really hard to judge pace when I run with other people and frustratingly I didn't stop my watch. 6.6 miles in we were at 53 mins which is 8 flat pace I "think" I saw 1:21 when we stopped, which is a little faster than 8 flat. That makes sense because the last few miles were downhill.

PM 5.5 miles Included 5*(1 min on-1min off). Felt like I was flying during the "on" minutes. 40:01 total (7:17 min per month).

AM 61:42 7.8 miles 7:54 pace. Another breathtakingly slow Friday morning run. I started this run at something like 8:30 pace for the first 3 miles before speeding up.

JRP with Jake, Andrea, Emily, Devra, Chad and Mae. We ran together for about 10 miles before the girls turned around. Jake and I ran a half mile loop before I took off after them and then Jake went another mile before starting to chase me. I didn't feel great at any point on the run. My legs felt tight and tired, but I didn't have much problem running sub 6 minute pace. In fact I ran 57:50 for the last 10 miles of the run. I just held off Jake.

I added on a mile as I ran back and ran back in with Emily Bates.
