Relentless

First log!

9 miles

ran 3 mile runs 3 times (continueously) with various groups of my team members.

run - PVHS to Artic Circle and back x 3

It gets tedious running the same run three times in a row, but it is nice to get out with the kids.

On treadmill at 6:31 pace. Have been working on a little of downhill training for the last few weeks to get ready for St. George.

The 6:30 pace is pretty comfortable right now.

3 miles 3 times with team again. run - PVHS to Artic Circle and back x 3

same run as Monday. But it was the last set of morning runs for the x-country season, so I was glad to be there running with the various groups of kids.

2 mile warm up into Green Springs at just under 7 min/mile

Then pushed for 4 miles at 5:55 average. Felt labored at first only hitting 6:15, then it started to really flow and I even toned it down as to not overdo it. Easy last mile around 7:45 to finish up.

Came home from Cedar Invite and ran 5 at 6:31 on the treadmill as my wife took one of our daughters to the doctor.

planned on running with the SGRunClub on the marathon course but slept in after staying up late with sick daughter.

So I tried to run something with a similar downhil as SGMar

Ran up turkey farm road - felt good and warmed up with 6:30, 6:45, and 6:30 then backed off a bit as I ran up to the water tank 7:30 and 7:50. Ran back in 6:05, 6:10, 6:08, 6:22 then eased in at 7:30.

Felt pretty good on way up but really strained for 6's on way back.

Ready to relax for marathon week.
