I ran out to GU corner and then down to the riverbottoms, hit my 5 mile mark and then headed back towards my home via Salem Canal Road. Passed a few of the Spanish Fork running crew, it was nice to see everyone out this morning a little snowy at first but then it stopped and it was nice... My main goal was to keep my pace at around 8:30 and then throw in some faster ones along the way. I was able to do that, my average pace was 8:28 and my heart rate average was 150 with a total time of 1:25:06, I had marathon pace miles of 7:39(153), 8:10(153), 8:28(149), 8:25(151), 8:11(157), 8:06(156), 8:21(158). The first mile was really my only true marathon pace mile or close to it, the rest were about a minute or so off but it was a good tempo type workout for me and I was really pleased with the effort. I wore my Nimbus 9's today for the third time this week and they felt pretty good, next week I hope to go a little further for my long run and see how I do!!!
I had some great tunes to listen to this morning, Blood Sweat and Tears, Rascal Flats, Peter Frampton, Boston, The Spinners, Hamilton Joe Frank and Reynolds, U2, Kieth Urban, Steppenwolf, Billy Joel, and Led Zepplin!!! They really got me through this morning I am so glad the IPod was invented it helps me get my mind off my troubles...
See you Monday.
