On the road to BOSTON!

Trail Dixie Center River Loop to home 7:55 pace

Did the same run as earlier this morning- 7:32 average pace

Started at Dixie Eye and ran out to River Road down to the trail to Dixie Center to home- Very sluggish to start out, the River Road portion was what I needed, some nice easy downhill. Ended with 7:58 average pace, the last 2 1/2 miles closer to 7:40

 5.40 sluggish miles- I realized 1 1/2 miles into the run that I hadn't had anything to eat for too long. I was very weak but the legs wanted to move----weird feeling. I got some water at the 1/2 way mark and after a mile of slow running I could pick the pace up again and had 2 good miles coming back in the mid 7's---8:02 average

AM: ran out on the path to River Road then over to the Chevron to Larkspur Park then back tracked and headed through Bloomington Hills to Brigham Road to home by way of Man o ward road-

12.25 miles- perfect temps! Did my Boston Hill workout today and was able to keep my overall pace @ 7:52 which included my first 2 miles that were my warmup miles.

AM: went out and ran the River trail loop an back- Legs felt good today after taking the afternoon off yesterday. Lower back still a little tender- some stretching and massage should do the trick-  7:31 average pace for the run

PM 10.25 on the path to River Road to Bloomington Hills- Larkspur Park then over to Pilot to home- Slow but good miles 8:42 pace

AM: 6 miles from Dixie Eye to home- easy, little effort miles....7:42 pace

Last long run! Went out to the St. George Airport and back- This is not an easy run with hills everywhere. I took it easy wanting to keep the pace to 9:00. Going  out is the toughest part, I also did a couple of miles in the dirt which slowed me down. Going out I was at 9:35 pace, slower than I wanted but totally expected because of all the climbing and also it was dark all the way out. Going back I tries to push the pace a bit faster but not race pace. Body feels pretty good but could use some rest. The right hip took 10 miles to loosen up but felt ok the 2nd half.

Plan is to cut the mileage back to 50sh this week.

Weekly totals for this year-

18-25-38-54-48-60-71-76-100-100-65-98-91 I jumped the mileage too fast but the body has been ok with it so far. Now I will go 50 and 30 for the 2 weeks prior to Boston
