Over to River road by way of the trail and back. Going out slow and trying to just maintain 8 pace after 3 miles someone passed me doing around 7 pace and so I tried to stay close and from that point I kept the pace mostly around 7:30 to 7:45 for the rest of the run   averages 7:57 for the run.  28 degrees

Same run as yesterday- different approach. I just went out slow and grinded it out and kept the pace under control without any pushing it. Averages 8:15 for the run and the pace was very consistent all the way. This was supposed to be a simple, short, get rested day for the long run/race in the morning......I will see how the conditioning goes as my mileage is getting up there for me. I am around 52 miles for the week so far and look to add 13 to 18 tomorrow morning.

 

5PM went out for 4 more miles. First 2 just went along at 8 pace then I did a mini speed workout....sprint for 60-90 seconds then take a 60 second break then continue. Usually would hold 5:45 pace for the 90 seconds.  Felt good   61 degrees out and sunny.

Tough course to run- We ran from below Sand Hollow up the monster of a hill and back- Took 3rd overall by getting beat by a very experienced running- Joe and a 19 year old. I ran 2 warm up miles before the race-  Not a fast time but for the course I feel very good about the effort- 7:55 pace.
