While the others ran two more miles.  I did a lot last week.  Want to go real easy.  Avg for the 8 running 7:58. Started at 7 mph.   Increased by 0.1 mph every mile til 5.5. Then increased every tenth a mile by 0.1 mph ending at 8 mph right into mp miles.  7:13 perfect pace.

Four really easy.  9:10/9:01/8:34/8:43.  From highland glen park to past lone peak hs to eternal fountain.  Past it 0.4 miles. Then 5x2 min at LT with one min jog in between. First one 6:21 pace.  Rest not timed well. Felt good.  Every fast two min I would gain on Kim but on jog min Kim still ran fast so would lose her again.  When done, I ran easy again while they all ran faster. Lol.  Mel Kim Jane summer Chandi. Avg for two miles pace work 7:01. Includes the four min of jogging in between (1 min after eAch). Last four miles avg was 7:49 so I really slowly jogged the last two miles to take my avg from 7:01 to 7:49.  Wasn't tired just felt like jogging.

easy miles with Kim although we differ on what is easy.  It was humid from the storm last night (thunder and lots of rain) . We ran to Art Dye via AF HS on to trail and down on lone peak hs road after getting off trail to temple and to top of hill on 1300 west and we walked down it.  I walked home.  I think Kim ran.  Otherwise this run would have been 7.5 miles.  I walked a litte over a mile.  It was relaxing.  6.33 miles was at 8:avg pace.

Half 1:42:57. Slowed even more to 30 k.  But picked it up as much as my right hamstring would let me til finish.  No heart rate issues   Not tired at all the entire run  just pain. 3:23:45  !  Sg #14   Going to get my core strengthened and my weight to 130 from 139.   Second half 1:40:48

Stopped briefly then through the west part of PG cemetery and down that road beside it all the way to 1300 west.  Turned west on 1100 North passing where Troy used to live.  Stopped at radiology/utah clinic for a potty and water break.  Back on 1100 North to Albertsons fresh.  Turned right at 7/11 then left at light to road west of 500 east (alpine higway) and up the west side of AF rec center passing the house with great decorations for every holiday.  Ran through cemetery and up alpine highway to just about Angie's road and turned toward golf course and down turning left toward Art Dye. Stopped briefly for water at the bathroom there. Ran out of Art Dye and up by the temple continuing East to 1300 west and to my house.  Exactly 11 miles. 8:38 avg.
