6.28 miles in 46:06.  Everything changes for me this week because school starts up again for the fall.  I'm not sure how it will affect things, but it certainly going to make it tougher to get up in the mornings after being in school from 6-10 in the evening.

6.50 miles in 48:00.  All alone this morning on the typical out and back.  I never feel good at first, but then after about a mile I am fine.

3.60 miles in 25:34.  I was surprised at how good I felt this morning, so I tried to push myself for parts of this run.  I am deciding if I want to run the Swiss Days 10K up in Midway tomorrow.  I think it would be fun, but I would like to run the Provo Canyon as well to try and get ready for the Mid-Mountain marathon the following Saturday.

16.0 miles in 2:04:24 7:47 minutes/mile pace

So the goal today was to run 16 miles at 8:00/mile pace. I never push myself on these longer runs, so I figured that I should try and do at least a little better. I started at the base of Provo Canyon by the gas station and ran up to Vivian Park. Then I went up South Fork. Once I reached the 8 mile mark I turned and ran back down. I felt really good and the best thing is that I was able to finish strong. Below are the splits:

1-8:33 Lots of wind heading up.

2-7:42

3-7:57

4-8:36 Stop at water fountain

5-7:29 Right on track for 8:00 miles when I hit Vivian

6-8:12 uphill

7-8:07 upholl

8-7:43

9-8:53 Bathroom stop

10-6:42 Downhill and trying to back off so that I don't die at the end of the run

11-7:18

12-6:58

13-7:48

14-8:01

15-7:01

16-7:17
