8 mid day miles Good sunday stretch out run. Went on the 13th west loop with Joe. Nice easy pace enjoying the warm afternoon.I even managed to sun burn my face, going to have to break out the sun screen :)

10 am miles Started out kinda sluggish this morning then something clicked and before I knew it this turned into a progression run. I have never really incorporated this kind of speed into my training so I was pleased with how the morning went. splits were 9:02,8:09,7:56,7:46,7:18,7:07,7:12,7:24,6:59 and 6:55 surprised to see a couple 6's in there. Makes it kinda fun.

10.0 am miles Did the Winco loop again this morning and turns out yesterday was not really a fluke after all. Finished at 1:16. A minute slower than yesterday even with the wind. No complaints from me though :) today was more of a steady pace although I was not trying to replicate yesterday it just happened to go that way. 

10.0 pm miles ran JRP to 48th south loop relaxed and smooth, the wind has let up some so it was not too terrible was not planning on going 10 but once I got out and moving it was just there. Finished in 1:22: so an 8:12 seemed to be in a good groove . Finished the workout with some lunges and cross overs

5.0 am miles Took the golf course loop nice and slow in the tornado with Joe. A lot of crap blowing around in the air. Was just glad to get a little run in this morning 

14.0 pm miles Went out later tonight the wind died down quite a bit by then. Ran the 106th south loop up to 7th east and back. Wanted to get something longer in the only thing about this one is the construction on state street going south and the traffic and lights but it is manageable. Ended up a good solid longer run finished in 1:56 so a 8:18 pace felt pretty good through the whole thing 

7.0 am miles 13th west loop this morning. not sure what I was going to get out of my legs after the nice longer run last night. After the first mile though they were right back in the game giving me some good strong faster miles which I was happy about.Finished in 53:02 so about a 7:35 or so pace. Things are really starting to click for me.  I really enjoy this route it has some good more difficult hills that push me and keep me on my toes. Really looking forward to pacing the Canyonlands half in Moab this weekend. Even at the 2:20 pace it will be fun, a good test in patience for me :) maybe have to get some good warm up and cool down miles to round out my l/r day 

11.0 am miles On the JRP. Note to self wind adds intensity to running workouts ;)   Set out to try and zero in on my pace time for Riverton Half. I am pacing the 1:40 pace so i should be in the 740 to 745 range. Going out it was fairly easy but once i made the turn around it got moe difficult to hit my pace but I managed well enough. 11 miles in 1:24           5.0 pm miles ran from one end of Moab to the other nice easy slow shake out with Molly. Looking forward to the half tomorrow. Will try to tack on a few extra miles to maybe hit close to 20

19 mid day miles In moab pacing the Canyonlands Half. Caught the bus in town up to the sart line then did a 2 mile warm up. It was pretty windyand trying to keep the slower pace was almost as difficult going for a long reular paced run for the same amount of time. The only difference was  it was much more fun being there cheering and motivating people to achieve their goals almost as much fun as racing it myself. then after the race went for a 4 mile cool down to get 19. Did not realize how close I was to 100 or I might have gotten a couple more in  oh well maybe next week. I am too relaxed in the hotel to suit up and go back out :)
