I ran over to the start of the canal trail and met Paul and Cody at 6:30am. It was a little cooler than yesterday, but still pretty warm for that early in the morning. We ran up to Gueneva Malibu and back on the river trail. We started of at a slow pace but got faster as we went. On the way back we were doing 5:45 pace or so for a couple of miles. I didn't feel that great for the run, but was able to hold the pace fine. I was feeling tired and thirsty when we got done, but I still had some energy. I got home and realized that I had run just over 17.3 miles and if I went just over two more I would hit 70 miles for the week. So I ran around USU for a couple of miles to hit that mark. I am not sure if the two extra miles did me any good, but I did hit 70 miles for the second time this year, and the second time in about six years. I ended up doing just over 15 miles with Cody and Paul and the rest on my own. 2:30:00
(Hardrock- 35 miles)
It was a good training week for me. My goal for the summer is to stay over 50 miles a week until mid to end of August and then bump it up to around 70 for marathon season. Any mileagae over 50 is just icing on the cake. |
