On the road to BOSTON!

Got out late this morning, wanted to make sure I got this run in before the winds picks up....perfect timing for me, 10:45 all was great out. Ran to the Dixie Center then over to Flying J and then home. Kept a steady run going without stopping other than at the DC to get a drink.

8:13/ 7:59/ 7:48/ 8:20/ 7:52/ 7:40 (7:59 average) I was trying to run each mile faster on the run. Mile 4 is uphill from the river and to Flying J. I did close stronger so overall a good run for me.

I need to get some longer runs in now to be ready for Snow Canyon in 1 1/2 weeks.

Waited til it got to 40 before I went out this morning. Went out for 11.25 miles with a 8:30 pace.

Started at home and went to the Bloomington market then over past Deseret Hills High then River Road to Riverside Drive then on the bike path to home. Good run.

I just looked at my splits and it blew me away how consistent they were:

8:35/ 8:31/ 8:39/ 8:37/ 8/36/ 8:16/ 8:26/ 8:15/ 8:35/ 8:41/ 7:53

Waited till 9:15 to run to get the sun warming things up. Ran out to the Dixie Center then followed the painters course then broke off at Riverside and got on the trail back to the DC then home.

8:33/ 7:38 trying to catch some runners that were .4 miles away/ 7:28 caught them after 1 3/4 miles/ 8:29/ 8;14/ 8:00/ 7:46/ 7:59/ 7:43/ 7:16 I really wanted to close a semi long run strong. The body feels pretty good right now. My runs are becoming more runs than run walks. For the last month I have not taken any walk breaks on any run. I may stop to get a drink when there is one available but no breaks out on the actual run. To me that is major! Hoping to get the body ready for Snow Canyon Half next Saturday. I want to really enjoy it but hitting 1:35 would be AWESOME!!!!
