Running

Lifted weights for 20 minutes and then rode the elliptical for 15 minutes.  Still pretty sore from the marathon.

Still sore from the marathon and am being a little careful.  Plan on running about 4-5 miles tomorrow morning.

6.39 miles in 49:43

Good run until about the 4.5 mile mark, and then I think I could feel last week's marathon taking its toll.  But I'm glad I got out and got going again.  It was actually pretty warm this morning.

5.10 miles.  I think I accidentally hit the stop button on the garmin after about 2 miles and I didn't realize it until about the halfway point.  So, I am a little unsure of the time.

Tried to do some intervals with this run to try and get used to running fast again.

I took the chance to sleep in today.  School and work have been hectic and it seems to all catch up to me by the end of the week.  I will try and go for a long run tomorrow though (16 maybe).

16.08 miles in 2:01:58   7:35/minute pace

My goal was to try and run 16 miles in 2:00.  I was starting at the Will’s Pit stop parking area at the base of the Provo Canyon and running up 8 miles and back down 8 miles.  I was feeling great up through about 10 miles, and then my stomach started feeling bad and then my legs started hurting.  I’m just blaming all my leg soreness on the fact that I don’t think I’m fully recovered from the marathon last week.  Nonetheless, I pushed through and ended up finishing strong, which is something else I’m trying to work on.  I had to stop and walk a few time coming back down the canyon, otherwise I think I could have made my 2:00 mark.  Great run though and lots of runners on the trail who looked like they were all getting ready for St. George.
