Maybe I'll Blog, Maybe I Won't

Easy to moderate pace North Logan Loop and then down around the hospital and stuff back to my place.  Felt really great.  No leftover pain from the race at all.  

Total time: 55:54 (6:59/mile)

Ran up the river trail from my place.  Took it ~3+ miles easy and very slowly building to about 6:30 pace, ~4 miles at 90% of 10K effort, and finished up easy.  Felt good but it was definitely a hard workout.  Here's where I wish I had a Garmin so I could have a better idea of pace and break up the distance better. 

Total time: 1:08:50 (6:37/mi. avg.  funny that's exacly my avg. mile for St. George last year)

I was going to go meet Jon, Cody, and Paul at the PW again this morning but when I walked out of my apartment at 5:15 I realized that I had left my car parked up on campus on accident.  I drove to my job there last night which I usually don't do and then I forgot that I did and walked home.  So I decided that by the time I got up there and got my car they would already be gone and I went back to bed for 45 minutes more sleep.  Anyway, got up and ran up and got my car and drove it down to my place (luckily USU Parking didn't give me a ticket or anything) then went another 6 miles really easy via the Canal Trail and First Dam and stuff.  Legs were tired from yesterday but felt better than last Wednesday.

Total time: 50:31 (7:32/mi.)

easy 4 mile loop at 11 PM after I got into Hurricane.  Love this thick air at 3,000 ft.  I don't even work.  I felt like I was running 9 min. pace

Total time 28:43 (7:10/mi)

Small Workout

2 miles warmup down to the HHS track plus 300m around to the starting line (yeah, I'm a purist...I have to start where the waterfall is)  4xmile repeats with 400m recovery jog/run in between intervals.  another 3.something miles back home the long way.  It was hot today.  Good ol' Southern Utah summertime.  :) 

Here are my splits:

5:43 wind is going to make this difficult...I guess that's why they call it Hurricane

5:40 less wind on this one and I'm warmed up

5:42 a little more wind, starting to feel it

5:42 really pooped on this one, got behind, but kicked hard the last 200m and finished respectably.

 Overall the workout was really good.  I think I finished stronger than last week's 1000s.  I think these kind of workouts are really going to help me a lot.

Total time: 1:13:35 (6:48/mile)

Man, I keep forgetting how quickly it gets hot here.  I slept in until 9 before my run and then went on a run out through LaVerkin to the Chevron with a two mile extension.  Saw Dustin after I got into LaVerkin and he ran to the Chevron with me and then almost all the way back home, as he was going to the Intermediate School.  Run felt really good.  This thick air makes for some easy runs.
