Got out early for a club run. Started at top of Veyo for a 15 miler to the Stake Center. First mile warmup @ 8:28 then gradually picked up the pace but wanting to keep it slow. mile 2 7:53, at this point I knew I was going to have to be strong mentally to keep the guys in sight. mile3 7:38 not feeling too bad but not knowing how this run was going to go- so far running about a minute per mile faster than last weeks run and didn't know if I could keep it up. mile 4 7:19 pushing hard for me up those darn Dammeron Hills. Mile 5 6:57, good bye to the 7's for the rest of the run except for one up Winchester. 6:57/ 6:49/ 6:43/ 6:46/ 6:55/ 7:27/ 6:58/ 6:37/ 6:57 6:30 Average pace for the entire run 7:08, throw out the first mile of warmup and I have a 7:02 average. Now if I take the last 13.1 miles of the run I ran 1:29:20 which is a 3:26 minute PR for a Half Marathon.
Now I need to take it easy for the next 2 weeks and see what can happen at Utah Valley- Thanks Steve, Bill, Mike and Ty for pushing me without knowing it- just tried to keep them in sight was a good method for me today-
