I ran the 2000 N route with Larry, Wayne and Kent. Even though my legs felt pretty good after the relay, I took it easy until the last mile when I realized I had to hurry to get home in time. Wayne and Kent had gotten a little ahead, but when I shifted from 10:00/mi to 7:20/mi I caught and passed them pretty quickly. My easy runs have been a little slower this year than in past years, and my fast runs have been sporadic, mostly in the form of races, fartleks, or short tempo runs. Still, I feel like I'm actually running pretty well. I'm not sure how my sore hip (comes and goes) would have handled more mileage and/or harder speed work. It will be interesting to see how I do at St. George this year.
