Noon run, mostly sunny, breezy, temp. 65'

My legs didn't feel as good as Saturday before the race but they were ready for a run.  I ran a couple of quarters, two miles apart.  One against the wind in 90 and one with the wind in 75.

Time 57:50,  mile avg. - 7:40

Nice morning for a run.  Getting excited about the WBR.  Tom signed me up for 18 miles of running.

Went out and ran easy with Tyler on the Jordan river path.  He is running the WBR also and is trying to get in shape.

My legs were kinda dead today.  Glad it wasn't a race day.

Morning run, no wind, temp 48'

Nice morning for a run.  I've been doing 2 quarter mile sprints once a day during my runs to let my legs know I want some speed.  The fastest I've been doing the quarters is 75 seconds.  Anyway, this morning my body finally found the next gear and I ran the 2 quarter mile sprints  on a down sloping section in 70 seconds each.  I really had to push to get to that speed but it felt great.  In High school I would average 68 seconds for a whole mile now I only get 70 seconds on a down sloping road, running just a quarter mile.  Anyway 70 seconds felt really fast but I'm hoping to get it to 65 if my mind and body will work together. 

Distance 7 miles,  Time 52:18,  Mile avg. - 7:28

Noon run, temp 70'

My legs were tired.  I must have used up the fresh legs in the morning.  Took it easy.

Distance 6 miles,  Time 48:24,  Mile avg. - 8:04
