Trying to keep up with you

3:11:04

BLAH!

Did a mix of a road run with a mountain trail run which kicked my rear.  Total altitiude gain of 2,840 feet with some very steep inclines.  I definitely bit off more than I wanted to chew.  By the time I finished the run I was spent.  My right hamstring started to tightening up the last two miles.  It didn't cramp up but it felt as if it would any minute. I'll massage it out tonight. Next long run will be nice and flat for a change. 

I decided to take yesterday off because of time limitations and because I was still pretty beat up from Monday.

To my suprise I felt pretty good this morning.  I had planned a 8 x 800 for today and was doubtful about being able to complete it.  After a 1 mile warm up I jumped right into it.  I kept the 800s at a 6:49 mile pace and jogged 2:30 between each one at a 8:30 pace. I felt strong all the way through and ended the run with a 1 mile cool down.

AM - treadmill run.  1 warm up mile and then maintained a 7:54 pace for 4 miles.  It felt harder than usual.  I'm probably feeling the effects of yesterday's 800s.

PM - 8.5 miles up City Creek Canyon.  Should have had lunch before I left.  By the time I got back to the gym I was ready to walk right into Carl's Jr and get me the biggest hamburger they have.  Of course I didn't. I'm all talk.  Easy pace up and down the canyon. 

Getting a little hot running at noon but still a gorgeous day.  Eventful 10k.

Easy run.
