Running

7.50 in 1:02:03.  8:17 avg pace.  Standard route but finished by going out by the new jr. high and then home via 700 South.  Very slow and sluggish.  Knees and feet hurt a bit.  Lots of wind as well.

PM 4.0 on the TM at about 8 min pace.

9.25 in 1:11:19.  7:43 avg pace.  Short cemetary loop back via Center Street.  Felt okay today.  Legs were a bit tired and fatigued, but nowhere near like they were yesterday.

9.25 total.  Ran towards Saratoga and connected to the JRP and back via 700 South. 

1.75 warmup and then the plan was a 3x2x1 mile workout with about 3 min rest between sets.  First 3 miles were 6:36, 6:45, 6:37.  Next 2 were 6:32, 6:32.  Last one was 6:22.  Cooled down with about a mile to get home.

Overall I felt pretty good.  I was planning on just keeping everything between desired marathon pace (6:40-6:50), but I decided to try and go a bit faster on each interval.  Felt like I was on a dead sprint for the last mile, so I was a bit disappointed to see it come in at 6:22, but I worked hard for it. Good workout for me today.

PM 5.0 at about 8 min pace.  Went from jr. high out towards Willow Park.

7.0 in 58:03.  8:18 avg pace.  Slow, easy run on the standard route with some added on.  Body is sore and tired.

6.0 in 48 minutes.  Ran out towards Saratoga for 3 and then back home.  Nice and easy.  I should be good to have a descent run tomorrow up and down Provo Canyon.

17.0 in 2:05:04.  Avg pace 7:21.  Started at 6:00 am and went up and down Provo Canyon.

This was one of the best training runs I've had.  I wanted to push the pace a bit, and it just so happened that I felt really good.  Hit the turn around point at just under 8 min pace and then I flew back down the canyon.  For my own future reference my splits from mile 10-17 were: 7:10, 6:27, 6:46, 6:44, 6:50, 6:53, 6:36, 6:29.  Great, great run for me.

Two weeks to TOU.  Will try and scale back a bit this week and hit between 50-55 miles and then the next week I will really scale back.  Legs felt good today and hopefully the taper will help them feel even better for the marathon.

Will go lift for a bit today.
