4.3 Easy morning run, hoping it will warm up for a workout this afternoon.

11.7 Drove down to Sugarhouse for a tempo workout, two laps warm up then right into the workout, first mile was slow in 5:47 (+59 feet), mile 2 5:36 (-33'),  mile 3 5:38 (1'), mile 4 5:41 (11'), mile 5 5:42 (-10') and mile 6 5:31 (-32') which ends up being 6 miles in 34 minutes.  Hard run, especially Rose Hill.  But once I finished I felt good again within about .5 miles and cooled down 2.9 miles.  On the way home saw Adam running down 13 east so I gave him a honk. 

I'm very happy with this workout, it was hard but considering the hills ends up being about the same effort as the 10k on Saturday.  The goal in the next few weeks will to being the 10 mile tempo pace down and lengthen these faster tempos so they become the same workout by Boston.  Less than 9 weeks to go!

Nice man, that's the ticket. SHP is the perfect place to prep for Boston. Get used to those sucky ups and downs now.
