Wayne, Kevin and I ran up to the bridge in Provo Canyon that marks the 5 mile turn around point from our neighborhood starting point. Wayne and I were pretty tired by the end, but Kevin seemed pretty fresh. We only averaged 9:08/mi. The first two miles were pretty slow and we had some 8:30-ish miles in the middle and near the end. I still don't understand how I can average 7:25/mi for the Painter's 1/2 marathon and then have 9:00/mi, sometimes 9:30/mi or slower, seem so hard.on these cold winter morning runs. Well, I got another 40 mile week in. The PF isn't gone, but it isn't worse and seems to be getting better. I hope to just follow this pattern until warmer weather arrives, when I plan to step my training up a bit.
