I was up at 5am and then was out the door around 5:20, I was up early so I could get a run in before My son Ethan's soccer game over in Orem. I ran out to Gu corner and I kept the pace just kind of steady, I haven't run for a week so I knew my legs would not be real happy, but I needed to get a run in to kind of kick off training for SG. My average pace was 8:26 with one sub 8 minute mile in the middle, total time was 1:08:23. My plan is to just to base mileage until the middle of next month and then start increasing my long runs a little each week but then every other week I will have a smaller long run and then I'll have a few races mixed in there as well... I hope I can get through this training cycle with no problems and actually have a good marathon, cross my fingers. Now its off to My son's soccer game and then after that some nice yard work:) |
