10.20 miles in the morning.
11.33 miles in the evening.
I woke up feeling much better. The vacation in Dallas was nice but I will not miss the humidity. I missed the mountains and the wonderful dry heat. I did 6 miles at 7:24/mile pace and then did 4 miles at 6:35/mile pace. I cooled down the last .20 miles. The weather felt great. I had one of my better workouts in a long time tonight. I ran up alongside the mountain going towards North Ogden. Their are 5 hills going out and back with spots where it is a slight uphill for half a mile or so. I was feeling good so I decided to see how I could do on the hills. I felt great and didn't feel like I was over doing it. I averaged 6:16/mile for the entire run and pushed the last 3 miles at 5:56, 5:51, 5:44. I was thrilled to hit those at the end of the run. I think I will run this route twice a week leading up to St. George. It has the hills and some downhill which will hopefully help with the wear and tear on the legs. |
