15 miles easy with Ken, Jason, Ben, and Denver, avg pace 7:17/mile. Most of the run was me telling Ben and Jason how much better LeBron is than Curry just to bust their chops (not to mention it's true).

FARTLEK: 20X60 SECONDS FAST/MODERATE & 20X30 SECONDS FAST/MODERATE

I met Ken, Ben, and Jason at Ken's office and we warmed up 2.5 miles with two strides. Then Ken, Jason, and I started workout, while Ben went easy.

Plan was one hour fartlek where you alternate one minute reps and the 30-second reps. I ran 11.25 miles in 60 minutes on an aided downhill course, which works out to 5:20/mile. I was 4:36/mile on the fast sections and 6:21/mile on the moderate sections. I was slowing and bonking there at the end, but managed to finish it off well enough.

6.7 miles easy on Centennial Trail in Riverdale/Uintah, avg pace 7:07/mile. I didn't get up to run this morning before our golf tournament, so I had to pay the price and run in the afternoon sun and with all those doughnuts, hamburgers, and nut rolls in my stomach from the tournament. Needless to say, it was not a comfortable run!

PLEASANT VIEW 5K

I ran the Pleasant View 5k this morning. I met Ben at 5:15 at the church and we ran 10+ miles before the race. I wanted a bit more, but we didn't really have time. Amy met us at 7:00 and then we drove up to the start.

I got out pretty good and tried to run controlled for that first mile. Last year I went out in 4:44 and was hurting bigtime the third mile in 5:02. I was determined to finish strong this year, which meant a slower start. I hit 4:54 for the mile, which is dirt road with soft rollers. Mile two is bombing downhill and is really where you bank time. I ran that in 4:36. Mile three starts out with a 40-foot climb followed by a gradual down and short uphill. I ran that in 4:49 (so much better than last year's 5:02). Then the last tenth is very steep downhill and you can really finish fast. I ran 4:19/mile pace and finished race 3 seconds faster than last year in 14:45.

After the race Ben and I did 3x8 second hilll sprints with two minutes full recovery and then just over a mile cool down.
