Started about 5:50 am from the mouth of Provo Canyon with Greg, Paul, Kevin, Kent, Wayne and Larry. Ran a little below 8 minute pace on the flats and sub 9 on the uphill grades. Great morning for a run. Took a gel at Vivian Park and decided to run another couple of miles up the road. Turned around at the park that's 7.5 miles up the road. Ran 6:30 to 7:30 pace for most of the way back. Didn't feel like we pushed it too hard. It was fun running with such a great group of guys. The miles went by without hardly noticing. Average HR was 143. Weighed myself when I got back home and was a little surprised to find that I was up about a half a pound, especially since my total mileage for the week was around 55. No noticeable muscle fatigue or soreness later in the day. I'm looking forward to the race next Saturday. |
