Did a speed work out. Hello heat!

2.25 warm-up miles then 8 X 400's with a recovery lap in between.

cool down (not really.. it was just a slow hot mile) then stretched.

The cool weather was nice while it lasted.

Left at 5:30 and did my usual route through Santa Clara, up Lava Flow, then ran up Pioneer Parkway until I hit the Snow Canyon Parkway trails and back to Ivins. . Wanted to do 14 so I ran to the Ivins city park and got a drink of water then ran home.

In the new Runners World one of the articles talked about increasing your speed to marathon pace the last half of your long run. It will help your endurance and train your body so I tried it out today. I also made the conscious effort to start out faster. I have a bad habit of taking the first couple miles easy causing my overall avg to be lower. The first 2 miles felt tough because I pushed myself and on the hills I kept my back straight and used my arms more. The hills by Coral Cliffs Elementary are great and I can do them without losing and time on my average but I have a struggle with the hill on Snow Canyon Parkway coming up into Ivins. Still felt great with my average and really pushed hard the last two miles.

avg pace: 8:05
