On the road to BOSTON!

Went out at 9:10 pm after a full day. Went from home past Deseret Hills High to River Road, turned onto River Road and run to the Chevron turned into Bloomington Hills and to the park for a quick drink then onto the bike path and back to River Road. Up to Fast Freddy's turned and ran into town past the temple then to Black Rock road to Tonaquint and home. 9 minute pace. Stupid neuromas kicking in at about 11 miles so the feet hurt like hell till I got home. They feel fine now that I am not running- Good night

Late morning 5 miler. Went out for a continuous run at an easy sustainable pace. Very slow to warm up for first 1/2 mile then picked it up to bring the average to 8:30. held 8:06, 8:03, 7:59 for the next 3 miles then closed the last mile with 7:26- average pace 8:03

Up to Bloomington Drive and the clockwise- 3.78 miles @ 8:03 pace continuous run

Ran the Snow Canyon Half this morning- new course. Love the changes, much faster. Did well with a PR 1:32:46  Had some blister issues at around mile 9. Fatigue got me towards the end but overall I am satisfied.

6:41/ 6:52/ 6:41/ 6:13/ 6:08/ 6:21/ 6:36/ 7:42 first hill slowed down a bit 7:51 took shoes off and put some wintercrest on the feet and  lost some time 7:33 fighting to finish strong 7:45/ 7:52 realizing sub 1:30 wasn't going to happen today 7:39 just get this done, feet are both hurting-blisters/ 7:35 average pace 7:03 course measured out as 13.14

I have been thinking about the race today and trying to compare it to Cedar Canyon. I have decided that Cedar is faster at least for me. Today I ran a much better, controlled, no whimping out and walking race and only beat Cedar by 29 seconds. Had I ran with today's effort I am sure that I would have run 2-3 minutes faster than today. Cedar I could look back and find port a potty break and several walk breaks in the last 2 1/2 miles. Today I did have a shoe break but no walk breaks so 1 minute I could have saved without that break- Also Cedar was 13.03, helps out in the time thing too!
