5 miles @ 8:55/mi. Murdock trail south solo to new Palisade Park.
The last 1.5 miles I decided to push the pace.
1 mile flat @ 7:50/mi
0.5 mile downhill @ 6:43/mi
I have some stiffness in my right hip still lingering from the 20 miler last week, but I'm still able to run uptempo okay. My focus over the next two weeks prior to the Utah Valley marathon will be to loosen up and heal my hip while gradually tapering and healing overall. And of course there's the matter of the annual neighborhood 5K which is the week before Utah Valley (2 weeks later than usual). I wouldn't normally run a race the week before a marathon, but what's to be done? It's only a 5K. I'll just have to be prudent.
