Went this afternoon and ran the Bloomington Loop.Kind of pushed this run a bit. 7:44 warm up- slight up hill/ 7:11 continued slight up hill/ 6:59/ 6:32  average pace of 7:12

Felt pretty good. Wanted to have a positive run on the loop in preparation for Painter's Half next month. I plan on running a lot on the painter's course in the next 4 weeks. I want to have a great race. I am trying to get used to my Saucony's to see if I can get a half marathon out of them without killing my feet.

I started at the Dixie Center and ran the first 6 1/4 miles of the painter's course and then turned back to the DC. I felt like this was a recovery run.....legs not cooperating today like I wanted them to. I was going to run the whole 13.1 but decided to bag it and not push the tired legs in the cold.

8:10/ 7:51/ 7:21/ 7:41/ 8:05/ 6:54/ 6:58  7:38 average

I have decided that my goal time for Painter's is going to be 1:34:59. I then want to work towards a sub 1:30 at HobbleCreek in August. As far as marathon goals I am going to run Ogden and St. George. The goal is 3:25 for Ogden and 3:15 for St. George. I would like to run a sub 20:00 5k and a sub 42:00 10k. Those goals should push me pretty good this year. I am going to cut back on the miles this coming year. I haven't looked at it yet but probably around 1800 miles instead of 2200.

Ran from the Dixie Center and did the last 7 miles of the Painter's course  7:43 average pace.

 7:39/ 7:35/ 8:00/ 7:33/ 7:45/ 7:46/ 7:43/ 7:26

The legs were a bit heavy so I just tried to go with the body and be consistent.
