AM- 20 Utah Hill - 10 up and 10 down. Ran with Logan, Bill, Marcie J., and Hayden. What a great workout. Climb over 2300 feet from 2400 to over 4700 feet in the first 10 and then finish with a strong 10 to the bottom. Overall ave. was 6:57 with the important part being the last 8 that were all right in the 5:30 range, some just below, the last couple just above. I had to really work to keep on it. Watched Logan really stick his last section and pull away from me, but it kept me more focused as that is where I am aiming to be. Great thing about this run is that after doing it, I know I am a better runner because of it! (Stratus Bee 40.4) Week was a little mixed. Good recovery, but I allowed too many extra miles to sneak in (a couple here, a little longer there) and it added up to be some of the problem that led to a poor workout yesterday afternoon. But today made me more positive. Goals for next week: Stick closer to planned schedule. Two weeks left of this quicker phase, so I need 400's and 1200's to round it out (so I won't really kill on the hills Monday). Keep on three or four days of pool running. And keep hitting core workouts each day (I think it is making some difference).
