Long run today. My brother Curtis and I ran down Payson canyon this morning, some serious downhill training trying to get ready for SGM. I was surprised at how well my legs handled the constant downhill, I must be in better shape than I thought. The average pace was 8:51 and heart rate was 126, I am going to list the splits just because the upper part of this course is serious downhill and I didn't want to push it to much because of my foot. The splits went as follows; 9:09, 9:08, 9:04, 8:55, 8:52, 8:37, 8:43, 8:34, 8:30, 8:47, 8:47, 9:00, 9:03, 8:34. It was interesting how the last mile we really picked it up, I wanted to see how well my legs would hold up and see if we could stay in control and we were able to do it. The last two miles where flat but we had some kick left in those old legs, I know it is not flying but I feel I am on the right track, and I was really proud with my brother Curtis he did really well for holding the pace. We are going to run this course once a month until the marathon and see if it helps.
