A brisk but gorgeous day for a run along the mighty Jordan River.  I saw a muskrat swimming or maybe it was just a very large rat.  Anyone know how to tell the difference?  

About 9 miles.  Miles ~7.5 to ~8.5 were somewhere near marathon pace.  All this approximation is due my misplacing my Garmin.  I think I may have left it at my mother-in-laws in St. George.

Ran on the Jordan River Parkway northward to the southern end of the Legacy Parkway trail.  It was a nice day and I had a nice run.  For the first 9 miles I kept my pace between 7:50 and 8:30 largely dependent upon trail conditions.  Then I did some intervals.

9 ez

5x 1/4mile with 1/8 mile recovery.  Pace ranged from 6:07 to 6:15, 168 to 169 bpm

0.5 mile cool down.

 

The inversion is building.  Pray for wind.

About 13 of these 15 miles were on hilly, snow packed trails.  This is my excuse for the 11:23 pace I averaged.  My average heart rate was only 144bpm.  Perhaps leg strength was slowing me down but it was tough going for much of it.  Really I think it was just a bit of an off day.  Regardless, it was a gorgeous day and I enjoyed myself!  Next time someone remind me to put sunscreen on my nose.

One very odd thing, I must have had 5 women talk to me while on the trail.  Not that I'm complaining.
