Easy run around the North Cinder Knolls.  Legs are tired, but not as bad as I thought they would be.  Hopefully they will be all ready to go tomorrow.

Big Workout #1

Ran from my house over to the HHS track at a slow warmup pace.  Got on the track and did 6x800m at a little faster than my 10k pace.  Was going to go a little slower, but whether it is the thick air or nice weather or what, I don't know, but I felt totally comfortable at about 5:30 pace.  We'll call it a "target" 10k pace.  400 meters recovery pace between each interval.  Here are my splits:

2:36--a lot faster than I was expecting for the effort

2:44--more in the range I wanted

2:43

2:44

2:40 this one took a lot more effort.  Felt like puking the last lap.

2:49  Took about everything I had.

 Took a minute after the intervals to stretch my calves out.  They felt very tight.  Muscles in my right shin also felt pretty tight.  I think it's just a matter of not being used to this kind of workout.  Got going on a run to finish out the miles for the day.  Started off slow until I got my legs back, and then increased my pace to about marathon effort for another 4 miles and then slowed back down to normal.  It was a very nice warm day for running.  I took my shirt off once I got out of town on my run.  (I waited that long so I could avoid blinding any unsuspecting motorists with my brilliant white torso)  Excellent workout today, but I am tired.

Easy longer run out on the Hurricane Canal trail.  Legs were tired at first, but as I got out there jumping over rocks and stuff the legs loosened up and it ended up being a nice run.

Long run.  Started from my house then got on the Canal Trail, then took the connector up the cliffs to the Rim Trail.  Followed that to the Virgin Dam Trailhead (near Virgin) and then followed the JEM Trail and Sheeps' Bridge roads out to Highway 59.  Crossed the highway and continued out to Diamond Valley Ranch and then to the H Road behind the H back to the highway, and back into town and home.  I was really dragging by the time I crossed the highway, but once I got a mile or so down the H road my body must have switched to fats or something because although I was still really tired my legs just all of a sudden started working again, almost on their own.  Finished the run at a pretty good pace.  Got a little sun as well. Quite pleased with my longest training run ever.
