I ran the Mini Gu corner route this morning, I felt okay but i really need to let it rip these next 8 weeks. I hopefully can do that and then have a marathon that I can live with, there will be no BQ try as I haven't been training enough. My average pace was 8:38 with a total time of 52:46 I had 1 MP mile at the end. (8:00) Nice morning.

 

See ya tomorrow.

I was going to run with the Spanish fork boys down Payson canyon but I slept through my alarm... So, I drove to the top of woodland hills and ran down to Loafer canyon road, up that about a mile and then back down loafer canyon road to canal road and then home. I had good form on the downhill but my leg turn over is way slower than normal so the pace is about a minute slower than I am usually on this route, the legs felt good on the uphill but the lungs did not... I just need to make sure I either get Payson Canyon in once a week or this route, If I do that then I should be okay for the marathon. My average pace was slow at 8:48 with a total time of 1:07:16, I had one MP mile towards the end, (7:53). My fast twitch muscles are not cooperating.

See ya tomorrow.

Same as last night, I ran 3 with joel and then I ran home for a couple of more to get the 5 plus miles in. Average pace was 9:24 with a total time 47:11. I had a pretty good rhythm for the final two miles so that was a nice surprise.

See ya Tomorrow.

I ran down Woodland Hills and then up Loafer canyon and then back down to canal road and home, I felt really good today and I had some really good downhill miles too. The down hill miles went like this, 7:22, 7:25, 7:20, 7:04, my average pace for the run was 8:05 with a total time of 1:01:40. This is one of my better times on this route so I am really pleased. 

See ya Tomorrow.

Long run out to the river bottoms and back and then my two mile loop down there and then back to the house. I then ran two, two mile loops to get to the 16 plus miles, my average pace wasn't to bad at 8:45 with a total time of 2:21:00. I was quicker towards the end which was a pleasant surprise, I am pretty happy with the run over all.

See you Monday.

I ran Payson Canyon today with the Spanish Fork Group, I went a little to fast on the downhill miles and paid for it the last few miles. But it was still a good run, I had 6 miles that were sub MP pace and they went like this; 7:48, 7:35, 7:20, 7:18, 7:46, 7:54 after these I started to fade a little. My average pace was 8:13 with a total time of 1:31:00, I need to run this a few more times before SGM, it can only help me with the hills of that course.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the usual route this morning, down into the river bottoms and then back to the house and then I added on 3, 2 mile loops to get to the 18 miles. I didn't feel as strong as last week towards the end but I think that is because of the Payson canyon run on Wednesday, I pushed that pretty good. My average pace was 8:52 with a total time of 2:40:42, I need to start adding in a few more weekly runs now.

See ya Monday

Another Payson Canyon run with the Boys this morning, I felt a lot better than last week and I didn't crash towards the end like last week. I had 9 miles that were MP or better and they went like this, 7:57, 7:30, 7:26, 7:22, 7:26, 7:26, 7:20, 8:00, and then my last mile was strong at 7:55. My average pace was 7:44 with a total time of 1:25:48, I will wait and run this again in a couple of weeks, I need to do some Uphill next week.

See ya tomorrow.

Woodland Hills down to Loafer Canyon and then up that and then back down to Canal road and then home, I felt okay but I didn't push it as hard as the last time I ran this route. My average pace was 8:15 with a total time of 1:02.00, I had to readjust my time as I forgot to turn off my watch after one of the miles.

See ya tomorrow.
