On the road to BOSTON!

Fron Dixie Eye to the top of Diagonal then back and then to River Road. Turned into St. James and ran part of the St. george course to Bloomington Hills to Larkspur Park then onto the trail past the Pilot Station to home. (8:10 pace)

Tempo Tuesday: 1 1/2 mile warmup then 4 1/2 tempo @ approx. 7:00 pace...forgot my garmin. 2 mile coodown. Today's workout felt really good. I went out just hoping that I could tempo for 3 miles. At 3 Tom came running by me so I decided to try and stick with him as long as i could, then there is the hill at mile 4, head down power thru and held on to him. Then on to the end of the tempo felt more liek a race trying to push the pace a bit harder to finish strong.

This Tuesday morning run has helped me already. 2 weeks ago I ran the 4 1/2 mile tempo and was around 7:45 pace and it didn't feel so good.Today, although I didn't think I had it in me I was able to block out my doubts and have a good workout.  {23degrees}

Wednesday morning run  felt like garbage- ended up running 7:23 pace but felt crappy to whole time

13.90 miles in the bank this morning @ 7:56 pace- It's a beautiful day in sunny St. George!

Ran to DC then continued to River Road to St. James and did the SG Half lop to Bloomington Hills to larkspur Park for a pit stop then back to River Road to the trail to DC to home

8 1/2 chilly morning miles in the bank- (8:18 pace)

22 early morning miles in the bank- 8:18 average pace. It felt good to get another long run in....legs feeling strong. I went our very slow (8:55 average for the first 6 miles) then gradually picked up the pace to the end. Good solid run to end the week with 72 miles for the week-
