Left leg a bit sore and overall a bit fatigued.  So, I bagged the planned run (9 w/ intervals) and did 6 ez.  Forgot to start my Garmin til mile 2 but the last 4 miles averaged 8:27 at 140 bpm.  About 80 degrees and it felt humid for around here.

 Last Monday there was police tape on the ground of the JRP trail at 600 North.  I didn't think anything of it.  On today's run my we figured out it was left over from a body that had been pulled out of the river on Saturday (a week ago). I can't find any info on how the guy died or how his body ended up in the river.  Yikes.

JRP. 83 degrees. Felt pretty good today.

My splits are an indication of how easily I succumb to peer pressure.

1- 9.04  started with group of 4 co-workers.

2- 8.19 durring this mile I was pulled away by the fast guy.

3- 8.02 talking with the fast guy.

4- 8.07 still talking with the fast guy.

5- 7.53 (included stopping for a traffic light) still talking with the fast guy, who was having trouble running so slow, while I was having trouble forming complete sentences.  :)

6- 8.35 fast guy had to get back to work. so I was left running solo.

8.20 ave pace.  No HR monitor. 

4.5 weeks till St. George.  I hope you are all able to make the best of this weeks training.

10.4 miles ez warm up.  Downtown, Memory Grove, up City Creek.

Ran at marathon effort down City Creek to Memory Grove.

1-6.29, 153bpm.

2-6.25, 165.

3-6.30, 169.

4-6.47, 169.

5-6.40, 168.

6-6.37, 170.

7-6.39, 172.

6.36 ave. 166 bpm.  About 81 degrees when I finished.  About a 10 mph head wind in a few places.  Variation in splits due to grade, head wind, and temp.  Downhill miles but still, I felt so much better than at last week's race.  My legs were not crampy and the overall effort was easier.  As I was running I started looking for snowballs, cause I started thinking I have a snowball's chance of running sub 3.

1.6 mile cool down.

EZ miles on hilly terrain up by Eden/Wolf Creek.  Legs tired, not much of an effort but miles in the bank at least.
