What the warm weather is this?  Sorry but rather have cool breezes not warm.  So "out of this world of a feeling" starting this run but figure I only have less than 4 weeks so I got to get serious no matter what or I am going to fade at SGM so I poured it on after climbing 1100 north at quick (not quickest) pace to canal.  First mile 8:14 then slowed due to 10 percent grade to average of 8:43 to canal (1.82 miles from home) ran north on canal to below Deerfield Elem.  ran north past Deerfield and on to Cedar Hills trailway to my one and only water stop.  I have been forgetting to take gu on these intense long workouts,totally parched when I got to the water.  Poured some on myself and drank until just before I felt like my stomach couldn't take it (you know the feeling).  Anyway took off at 6:56 pace to Lone Peak High school then flew home as best I could getting back on the canal (rockie here so slowed me, plus sun beaming on my face, couldn't find my hat this morning and it was 10am).  Got off the canal just below Deerfield again (think figure eight) this time headed south towards my home in Pleasant Grove.  Ran past Lincoln Academy to my 800 road, pace check 6:52.  Picked it up for the last mile, soooooo parched.  Passed a guy real dripping huge drops of sweat.  He couldn't even wave at me so just flew by him.  Came in at 6:30 mile.  Ran cooldown of 1.17 miles at 8:20 pace, usually I run this slower but it really did feel slower.  It is just that I was running a 6:30 that it felt like a cool down.  Walked a bit to get heart rate down more.  Average pace for the first 10.09 miles (7:39).    I am fine with that with the steep uphill in parts and the searing heat.  Bring it on SGM!!!!
