Same old story, fell apart the last 6 miles. I felt like I had trained to hit at least 3:35, "A" goal 3:30 "B" goal 3:35 "C" goal sub 3:39:59. I am sick and tired of finishing a Marathon only to be disappointed. I thought I had trained well enough, I PR'd every race I ran over the last year but this one. I am looking forward to more hard/smart training with the help of this blog. | |

Started my run about 8:30 pm. What a beautiful time of day to run. I will be doing more runs like this during the summer. I was planning on running 4-6 very slow miles in the high eights/low nines per mile. Felt very good, sped up and kept on going. |
| | 9 miles. Ran one mile on the track then 4 miles up hill, 4 miles down hill. 9:26 10:47 9:42 10:22 10:34 down miles 8:04 7:36 8:04 7:30. Ran easy, I was curious what my down hill times would be with minimal effort. The goal of today's run was to get a few downhill miles in. |

| | 12.04 miles, wow this one was hot, it felt hotter than 92°, probably hotter on the asphalt roads. It was an out and back, I almost went out 7 miles instead of 6. I am so glad I chose 6, 14 miles would have killed me. This turned out to be a tough run for me. Ave mile 9:00 | |

| | 12 miles behing the Capitol. 1:47.33 8:58 ave. Nice cool day for this time of year, 76°, what a difference 20° makes. This run felt pretty easy, which is what I set out to do. |

| | 4.65 am miles 41.52 9:00 ave .50 pm miles |
| | 6 miles 51:55 8:39 ave very hot day, 100° at the beginning of miles 4, 5 and 6 I did the first half of each mile fast, kind of a Yasso deal. My 800's were 3:45, 3:44 and 3:33. I could have done a few more but it was hot and this was my first bit of speedwork in a while. I'm racing a 5K the end of September so I want to introduce a little speed in my diet for the next month. I thought I could easily do sub 3:30's, I wanted to get close to my 5K race pace, but no such luck. I'll blame it on the heat. |
| | 16 miles 2:23.14 8:57 ave Nice easy pace, just looking to do the distance, not much concern for pace. |
| | 4.65 am miles 42:46 ave 9:12 5.65 pm miles 47:55 ave 8:29 |
| | 4.65 miles am did not time run 7:78 miles pm 1:10.05 9:00 ave |
| | 6 miles 54:42 9:07 ave, this run was a struggle, felt tired and it was a little hot, low 90's. |
| | 7.27 miles behind the Capitol and along 11th ave. Still vey hot, 95° ave about 9:15 min per mile |
| | 4.65 miles am 38:14 ave 8:13 6.65 miles pm 54:52 ave 8:15 |
| | 4.65 miles am 39:17 ave 8:27 also ran 15 flights of stairs at the end of the run. 7.65 miles pm 1:07:57 ave 8:59 probably ran this a little faster by 2-3 minutes, had watch trouble. The stair run in the morning really killed my legs, I struggled during the pm run, I guess that means the stairs are a good workout? |
| | 10 miles Liberty park. 1:30.16 this was a difficult run, very tired, heavy legs. Still hot outside. 9:02 ave |
| | 13.22 miles Murray Park. Stopped after 3.72 miles for a bathroom break then continued. 9:06 ave. Did not feel very strong. 2:00.12 |
| | 10 miles out and back from home. 1:19.51 ave 7:59 This was a good run. I was hoping I could do this run, 10 miles a marathon goal pace. It was an overcast day, probably 80's, this had to have made a big difference. I'm getting sick of running in the 90's. I felt fast and strong today, haven't felt this way for a while. |
| | 10 miles 1:29.33 8:57 ave felt pretty good, easy pace. |

University of Utah Alumni Association 5K (3.1 Miles) 00:20:56, Place overall: 34, Place in age division: 2 | |
3.1 miles or 5K race. This is a tough course, it's on the campus of the University of Utah so it's about a third uphill, a third downhill and the other third flat. My time was 20:56 which surprised me because it's only 4 seconds off of my PR. My 5K PR was set on a perfectly flat course 8 months ago, so it looks like I'm making some progress. My goal was to be under 22 minutes. The first mile 6:56 second mile 6:16 and last 1.1 7:47. |

3.728 miles cold turkey run 25:50 6:56 ave 5th of 24th in AG 27th of approx 534 overall. I know every inch of this course, I log a lot of miles in this area. I feel like a ran the course well.
