Big workout with Clyde this morning. I met up with him and Steve. Steve drove up to Snow Canyon and ran 13 miles this morning. It was great to see him out and running. Clyde and I ran from the store up through Snow Canyon and then hammered it back down the marathon course. We kept it nice and relaxed up through the park. I decided to push the pace a little bit up the last big hill. I ended up hitting a 6:15 mile right before stopping to get some water and taking a gel. Clyde had some wonderful stomach issues this morning which made the run quite eventful. We got started on the last 7 miles to really hammer it. Here are my last 7 mile splits: 1- 5:12 2- 5:08 3- 5:08 4- 4:45 5- 4:39 6- 4:55 7- 4:59 I was happy to finish the run like this. I know I am not running St. George this year but it was really nice to get some great leg turnover for the last 7 miles. I have done a lot of hill work and flat land speed work so I am feeling more confident about Twin Cities in a couple weeks. Clyde hammered it as well and is ready to go this year. We did a 1 mile cooldown and then called it a day. I am very happy for the finish to this week. 3 weeks to go!
