I ran the Old BYU farm loop, and I don't know what happened to me this morning my legs felt so fresh that I felt like I was in the twilight zone or something... I just let my legs go to do what they felt like and I could not believe it! I didn't feel like I was working real hard and I felt really smooth, so kind a weird... My average pace was 8:18 with my heart rate average at 144 total time was 58:45, my last mile was 7:54(152) and then I had a couple a miles at the 8:13 mark per pace. These are the day's that you work so hard for and when they come you just want to keep running, so very cool!

I also did my standard lower body weight training with the legs and them also the core strength training using the rubber ball and alternating with push-ups in between each set.

See ya tomorrow.

I absolutely love it when these days happen. Hopefully some of your good fortune will rub off on me this Saturday as Ogden. It looks like you are really getting back into good running shape Clay. You will be knocking out some very fast race times before too much longer, just stay healthy.

Sounds like one of those "runner's high" days to me . . .

Clay great job on the workout. I love it when this kind of thing happens! The rewards of a long winter of tough training have just begun!
