This is the third time I will submit this entry, for some reason the past two times I have pushed submit it has logged me out and lost my entry.
Got up and out the door by 6:00 am. I thought that Paul and Cody might come up to the USU track by way of Boulevard, so I warmed up going over there. I couldn't see them so I ran back to the track and took an easy lap. 2.5 miles or more for my warm up.
Paul and cody showed up and we started our workouts. I wanted to do 5x 1000 meters at what should be my 10k pace right now (35 minutes), which is about a 3:30 1000 meter average. Cody wanted to do his workout a bit slower at 5:50 mile pace which is about a 3:40. We ended up doing more of my workout. Paul did his own thing, about 3:15 pace.
- 3:31 I tried to feel out the pace and it felt pretty good.
- 3:35 Cody lead, slowed it down a bit, but kept it steady (his Garmin helps).
- 3:35 I kept about the same time as the previous one.
- 3:33 Cody picked it up a bit after a slower start, when Paul came up on us.
- 3:20 We switched leads at Cody’s request about 500 meters, and pushed it a little harder.
We did 200 meter cool downs in between our intervals. I felt really good today and could have went longer, but I don’t want to overdue it before the 30k, and it is only my 2nd track workout. We cooled down a lap or so until Paul got done then cooled down with him and headed for home. I talked the guys into running home through campus, down Old Main hill, and down Boulevard so that I could go with them. I went down to Center and Main and turned around to head home myself. It was a nice morning, quality run, and good to run with Paul and Cody again. Hopefully we can do regular workouts together, because it makes it nice.

I am going to do Odgen Marathon now and just registerd yesterday. I have never done a spring marathon before, so it will be good to judge how good of a start I am really off to this year. |
