19 w/ 14 @ marathon pace effort on hills.  3 mile warm up. 14.3 strong effort.  2.5 ez.

I'm happy that I felt better today than the rest of the week.  A bit mixed results on the MP effort miles.  I ran from City Creek up to 11th Ave, then up 11th Ave, back down to City Creek, up City Creek Canyon, and part way back Down the canyon.  In the Canyon, some miles were faster than previously (this training cycle) but more were slower.  Here are my meaningless splits as I'm not going to figure out how much gravity played a role: 7:44, 7:41, 7:14, 7:05, 9:06, 9:17, 9:00, 9:49, 10:55, 11:22, 5:55 (wow fastest mile ever), 6:16, 6:21, 7:05, 6:53. 

Tomorrow some ez miles, rest Sunday, then my last big week.  Yikes!

yeah it is hard to guage MP effort running up and down giant hills. I your marathon on a hilly course? Or is everything hilly out there?

either way, great run today

These hills were bigger than those on race day, but when running up City Creek canyon the road is closed to cars (except service vehicles) and closed even days to bicycles. It's hard to beat running in the trees by a roaring mountain steam.
