| I went to the track alone this morning. I did 3x1 mile repeats again with an 800m interval at the end. My mile times were 7:31, 7:37, 7:32 with 3:38 for the 800m. If I split these into 7x800m intervals, it averages to about 3:45 per 800m. Using the Yasso 800 guidelines, this would indicate about a 3:45 marathon (about 9:00/mi). I ran 16 miles Saturday averaging about 8:57/mi for a training run, so a 3:45 marathon is probably a pretty good estimate of where I am right now. I'll take it for now. That may be my target for the Utah Valley Marathon next month, but I hope to be close to 3:30 (or faster?) by St. George in October. |

| 2000 N hill route with Kevin. Neither of us felt fast today, but we endured with a 9:05/mi average overall. |

| Wil's Canyon Stop route with Kevin. We pushed the effort throughout this run and averaged 8:20/mi overall, which is good for us at this point. We dropped to 7:30/mi for the 1/2 mile from 800 E to 400 E on 1200 N. |

| Water tank hills solo on a warmer but overcast and very windy day. My legs felt very heavy this morning. I still managed a not fast but respectable 17:47 time up the hills. A lone biker started up the first steep hill just ahead of me. He's part of a group of bikers we regularly see in the morning. I managed to pass him and get well ahead by the top of the hill. He must have went back down or waited for his buddies because by the time I got to hill 5 I heard them talking coming up behind me. I made it to the top of hill 5 and turned back down just before they caught me. The Fast Half Mile that is part of this run near the end was not so fast today...8:28/mi. That's slower than our average pace for the entire 6 mile run yesterday. I worked pretty hard today, it just wasn't fast. It's all good. |

| I had to get back to help clean the church at 8:00am so Kevin and I started at the mouth of the canyon at about 5:45am and maintained a pretty steady pace throughout the 12 miles. The splits up were: 8:42, 8:50, 9:06, 9:10, 8:48, 8:52 The splits down were: 8:22, 8:24, 8:03, 7:55, 8:08, 7:44 Average pace: 8:30/mi |
