AM- I went out on an easy run at lunch. I went down to the
south end of Tremonton, towards I15, passed the new Stake Center, and
back. It was cool but nice. I didn't feel lke going faster or pushing
it so I just relaxed and enjoyed the run. Hopefully I can get out today
again for a few more miles, it will depend on how the old achilles
holds up during the rest of school after this run. 35:55 PM- I stopped in Brigham City on the way home from
school and did a workout on the east side of town with all the hills.
I started at Adam's park by the middle school and did a couple of loops
around those neighborhoods. It is very hilly and I wanted to get some
fartlek on some uphill sections. Most of the run was uphill and it
went well. I was pleased with how I felt and my achilles didn't bug me
too bad after I got warmed up. I did ice it three times today which
seemed to help. I did and two mile loop for a warm-up and then
did 5 half mile speed plays with two minutes rest in between. I really
tried to work on form and relax. I didn't plan on doing so much uphill
in my speed play, that is just how the loop worked out. Most of it was
on or around the Peach Days 10k course. I was happy about the results
of this workout, especially since I didn't feel that great today as far
as running goes. Here is the break down. Lap 1/2 mile
| Time | Pace
| Started off flat and ended on a good uphill section
| 2:48 | 5:36 | Started off with an easy grade of downhill and ended with .1 miles of uphill
| 2:39 | 5:19
| Big Hill at the first and the last .2 was downhill to flat
| 2:45 | 5:30 | All uphill, I was working hard!

After the workout I cooled down for about for about 11 minutes, and I ran 48:28 for the entire 7 miles. (Omni- 241 miles) |
