AFTER last night on the treadmill, an outside run was in order.  It was pretty warm.  Then the wind started blowing mega-dust off construction sites and I went blind.  Then a gust almost blew me from the freeway overpass onto I-15.  Despite these travails, I made it home.  61 minutes, but I cheated for one drink pit stop.  On the other hand, I got held up picking my way through road construction in the dark, so things even out.

While running the following plan occurred to me for TOU.  Between mile 5-6 this really seemed like the TRUTH.  Any feedback would be helpful.  It's a pretty simple plan.  Miles 1-20 in 138-140 minutes.  Then run the final 10k in 45-48 minutes.  This is a long way off negative splits, which seem reasonable on this course.

That sounds pretty realistic. Although my splits may end up different, I bet my avg pace is similar. Gonna try to go by feel again and probably blow up at the end:) I'm excited!
