On the road to BOSTON!

Ran over to the DC and then ran with the club 6 miles then back- total of 11.40  8:20 average for the run- just kept it an easy recovery run- body feels great after the race on Saturday-

on the 6th mile I dropped the pace down to 6:30 for 3/4 miles and felt fresh....

1PM  8.60 miles running almost the same course as this morning....just cut it short a bit....7:55 pace,  20 for the day  new altra torins for this run

AM  12 miles in the new Altra Torin's  Best shoe I have even worn- I wear them all day and also for running-

Ran from Dixie Eye up Diagonal then up Bluff to Snow Canyon Parkway then down Dixie Drive to Tonaquint to home. Body is worn down this morning as I kept the pace very slow- I was also fighting headwinds for the last 7 miles of the run-  8:30 pace

AM ran out on the path 5.5 miles and back- pace @ 7:42

PM ran on the path again 3.6miles out and back- I had a nice run going and at mile 3 ran in to Dan Woodside and talked for a bit. I continued up the path a .60 miles and then back- he headed for home. I missed catching him by one house length. Pushing the pace for a nice tempo run. Averaged 7:15 pace for the 4+ miles closing the last .4 miles at 6:10 pace. 7:32 pace for the run

On the trail to River Road then to Larkspur Park to home- Nice and easy recovery miles @ 8:29 pace

PM 6.20 @ 7:59

12 miles running- started at maverick in Washington and ran home, nice easy pace 8:19 average-

21.60 non-stop no breaks no walking grind it out running. I have to say this was the most positive training run in my life. I extended my planned 18 miles to hit the century mark for the first and probably last time in my life. I was running stronger on the second have by far as I took it very easy through the climbing.

I ran from home out to SunRiver to River Road. I continued down River Road to Riverside then on to the trail to the Dixie Center. I continued to Bloomington and then around Bloomington Drive. I still needed another mile so I continued past the Country Club and then turned for home.

Pace was not important at all today and ended up with 8:48 average. The first 7 miles was all up hill at 9:30.

Foot issues on the right foot started a bit at 11 and then went away until 15, I just gutted it out and did okay. Now it is time to drop back in mileage and save the body for Boston in 5 weeks.

Later in the day....I realized that I had two different insoles in my shoes and the foot that was sore was one that had some additional support for the arch......note to self, do use the additional support.
