Run RF

Same run as last Sunday but went on the front side by the bobsled junction.  Lots of people out on the trail, and minus some powerful gusts a great day to be out.  This time of year is great because the only people who mountain bike are actually good at it and know how to negotiate around hikers and runners.

Easy 1.4 down to the bar.

Met up with Collin, a poster on Letsrun for a nice run around Sugarhouse and Liberty Parks.  Always nice to meet up with a fellow engineering grad student for a run.

Workout day, started with the same tempo as last week first two miles were slower but the second two were quicker than Thursday so 5:58, 5:31, 5:37, 5:17.  Then 1 mile jog over to S. Temple and I St. for the Ledwith Hills of Death workout.  Pretty simple concept with three aves blocks up then one over and repeat until you get to the top of Terrace Hills Drive.  Very painful, even more so when you're running all out up hill look at your watch and see 9+/mile pace.  Then jog back home.

3.5 down and back from yoga. Not the hardest yoga class, but my legs definetly felt tired in all those squats and other lunge poses.

Easy city creek canyon run, feeling the effects of yesterday.

On a good note I just found out my alma mater is hosting an indoor meet 12/29, so time to throw down a few speed sessions and jump in the 5k.

Wanted to hit the track today, but legs weren't feeling it so I did a fartlek in the aves instead.  Managed 16 ups, so got the spirit of the workout in.

3.8 down to yoga and back.  Struggled today, all the work the last few days is catching up.  But EASY EASY run tomorrow to prep for long run of doom.

So easy today meant jog over to fieldhouse, 5 miles while listening to tunes then jog back home.  Gotta prep for long run tomorrow!

Another run with the CREW, probably somewhere between 25-30 people there today.  Great run with an average pace right at 6:33/mile.  Only the first mile was over seven and I even had one thrown in there under six!  Probably could have made it the full 20, but taking smart steps in getting back into it and a 15 mile jump was good enough from last week.  Now time for some relaxing and beers.
