Beautiful evening for a run.  Moon and stars were out and it was a clear, but warm night.  Didn't have much time today, which was why I was out so late in the first place, but I felt great.  Legs felt fresh.  I don't know why but I always feel much more energetic at night.

Felt pretty decent today.  A couple of little tweaks in my legs, but nothing abnormal.  I figure that's mostly just a function of the amount of mileage.  Run today was up Green Canyon and on the BST.  There was still some snow up the canyon towards the top and I had to abandon the single track after the second section of it.  Several times I broke through the crust on snow patches and plunged my foot into a few inches of water.  Hopefully it's all gone by the end of this week.  It was melting like gangbusters and wasn't too bad in most places though.

Super easy today, although the legs don't feel too sore.  Tired, but not sore.  

53:23 (7:31/mi.)

 

I also analyzed my diet today on a whim.  Here are my findings.  Total caloric intake: 3179 calories. Breakdown: 1928 from carbohydrates (61%), 800 from proteins (25%), and 451 from fats (14%).  This is pretty typical of what I normally eat--I was making no effort to be particularly healthy, but it looks like I'm doing pretty well.  Only 100 calories came from "bad sugar" on my 9-grain cereal in the morning and the jelly on my PB&J snack after school.

Medium Workout #1

Jogged half a mile up the hill to the Fieldhouse, then did another half mile warmup

4x800 m (400 m rest between intervals, along with a half mile warm up and cool down on the track before and after)

Goal was to get as close to 5:00 pace as possible and maintain for as long as possible up to 4 repeats. Here are my splits:

2:32

2:35

2:40

2:35

Didn't actually hit 5:00 pace, but I am satisfied with what I was able to do.  This was kind of a test to see what I am capable of speed-wise.  With more practice this will get easier.  My goal now is to run at least one speed/pace workout every week, even if it's not technically a "Big Workout."

Finished with a loop out by Macey's and back. Running outside the Fieldhouse totaled 8.6 miles.

I always forget how easy it is to run at 3000 feet.  Went out for an easy 7 miles and ended up going fairly fast even though I wasn't even breathing hard at all.  I had to keep slowing myself down because this was supposed to be a recovery day.  Passed 2 cops on 700 West.

Sky Ranch-Sand Hollow Loop in sunny Southern Utah weather.  It feels like summer here.  I probably got some good tanning in, as I went without my shirt.  Pace was a lot faster than the last time I ran the same loop about 5 weeks ago by over 5 minutes, but with the same or perhaps a little less perceived effort, so I am seeing improvement.
