I went 10 miles up around Provo Canyon, some going up, and some going down. It was fun to see the winner of the Half-marathon (I think Jeff, who runs with Sasha), and to run with the race for some of it. I'm getting to be in better shape (of course that's relative) with some consistency with miles over the last while. Now I just want to keep building and then keep a base of at least 40 from here on out. I think that would help me to avoid injuries and to run faster times. It's been a long time since I have put in a consistent stretch of higher miles, and I'd like to see what would happen if I could put in a few years of consistent training, even if it's not always the highest mileage. I think with a few years of 40-60 miles per week I could really run some good times. With that, I'm planning on consistently running on grass and throwing in more speed and hills in order to get a faster top speed. I've always had good endurance and decent speed, but if I could get more comfortable running a faster pace (in the 4-5 minute per mile range), I think that would allow me to run some solid times.
