Running

7.50 in 1:06:20 (8:51).  Ridiculously slow, but I wanted to get something in. The race on Saturday destroyed my quads.  Did this run at about 3:00 starting from jr. high and going out towards the JRP and then back. Hot out.

Went and swam at the L.C. around 9 PM.  Swam 32 laps in 28 min which is just short of a mile (need just over 35 to get a mile). 

7.40 in 1:03:57 (8:39).  Up and down Provo Canyon after dentist appt (around 11:00).  It was hot, and my legs are still having trouble.

I've been in Heber City the last 3 days for a family reunion.  I was really hoping to get some big miles in during this time.  It would have been fun to run in a new place.  Unfortunately, my legs were still in bad shape from the race last weekend.  Finally, yesterday and today things felt better.  Feel like I'm getting a cold though.  Ate horribly.  Hoping to salvage the week with a long run tomorrow.

PM Elliptical for 15 min and then some light lifting.

20.0 in 2:32:50 (7:39).  Wanted 10 up Provo Canyon and then MP down.  Told myself that if I could hit this workout then I would really consider DesNews (I was already considering it).

Took my time up the canyon and hit 10 in 1:25:25 (8:32 pace).  Mark was with me up until 7.50 and then he turned back. South Fork is a beast to climb, but I just took my time.  Stomach problems and hit the bathroom two separate times on the way up. 

Wanted to hit 6:40-6:55 on all 10 on the way back down. Splits: 6:38, 6:41, 6:44, 6:30, 6:58, 6:49, 6:43, 6:53, 6:35, 6:48 (1:07:25 total or 6:44 pace for the 10 coming back down).

I was skeptical that I could hit this workout after a crappy week of running, eating horribly, and having a bit of a cold.  But it went great for me this morning.  I was laboring at the end, but was so glad to hit my times.  But I'm still a bit undecided on DesNews.  I just don't know if I'm ready enough.

Later...Lifted and then did 15 min on the stationary bike and just a bit on the TM.
