| Track Work I took an extra day rest to recover from my Half I did on Saturday by switching yesterday's and today's workouts. 1 mile warm up 4 x 1 mile with 1/4 mile jog recovery (6:29, 6:30, 6:23, 6:44--yikes!) 4 miles easy at a bit faster than 8:00 I had planned on doing 8 x 1 miles, but when my time dropped so much on the 4th mile I figured my legs needed a little more recovery time from my Half, so I changed up the workout. Total run 10 miles |

| Long run 20 miles with Jeff early this morning. AP 7:38 Nothing too special about this run. We finished strong and were still feeling like we could go more, so I guess that is a good thing.

| Long Run I was supposed to meet up with Jeff this morning at 5:30. After waiting till 5:40 I took off on my own. I have gotten used to doing my long runs with someone and it took my a few miles to wrap my mind around doing the run solo. I have to talk in ward conference tomorrow so I took advantage of the quiet time to ponder on my thoughts that I would share with the ward. Jeff's alarm didn't go off, but he met me around mile 10 and it was nice to have him there for the second half of the run. Todays run felt really easy for some reason. 21 miles AP 7:25 Next week I'm doing a cut back week. |

| Another long slow run. Started out really easy, but my legs felt great this morning like I could just keep at it all day. 20 miles- AP 7:46 On a side note, I was trying out a new pair of Sketchers. I didn't even know they made running shoes, but I was in Vegas last Saturday and went into one of their stores and tried a pair on and loved them so I bought them. Today was my first run in them. They were AMAZING. I give them an A++. They weigh next to nothing, but have way more cushion than my heavier shoes. The toe box is nice and large, yet they fit like a glove. I put them back in the box and am going to save them for some race day magic.

| 45 minutes elliptical. Legs felt really good. Looks like I should be ready for my final long run of my long, slow running week. I'll be running with Jeff tomorrow. I'm not sure how far we are going yet though. I need to see what he wants to do. | | Comments(2) |

| It was raining pretty good when I got up at 4:50 so I shot a text to Jeff to see if he was still up for a run. He sai he was getting ready, so we met up for our run at 5:30 and took off in the rain for a long run. He is working through shin splints and I was on my third 20 miler of the week so we decided to keep it easy. We splashed and sloshed and talked and laghed and talked as we made our way through 20 miles in the dark and rain. AP 7:47 Now back to some more normal training next week. |

| Tempo run 4 miles warm up 4 miles tempo- AP 6:55 2 miles cool down Total 10 miles I was going to go farther and faster, but I guess my legs are still tired from Monday's speed work, so when I couldn't maintain my goal tempo pace for even 4 miles I decided to cut my run short.
