| Nice 5 mile run along the trail. It was a nice day. I tried going the other direction this time. I used to live in some apartments over near the little wood and steel bridge that crosses the river just past Macey's. I always ran towards the lake from there, and never ran the other direction. I was curious to see what was past the bridge. I'll have to go even farther some day. I felt good during this run. I decided to push the last mile a bit, and it felt pretty good. Total time was 36:23 for around a 7:16/mile pace. Splits were 7:38, 7:31, 7:26, 7:12, and 6:34. | | Comments(1) |

| Nice sunny day. It was a little cooler, but it didn't feel like it without the strong wind of yesterday. It was another 5 easy miles along the trail at 7:23/mile pace for a time of 36:55. Splits were 7:42, 7:37, 7:18, 7:13, and 7:03. It took a couple of miles to warm up and feel good, but the last three were nice. | | Add Comment |

| Just 3 easy miles along the trail this morning because we have a basketball game tonight. The pace was a little slower at around 7:41/mile for a time of 23:05. The glutes were a little sore this morning and it took a little longer to get going. I think the soreness had to do with my crazy dreams last night and not from running. It happens every once in awhile. I think I have dreams where I tense my muscles, and then they end up sore the next morning. Splits were 7:53, 7:45, and 7:27. I also saw a little beaver swimming down the river under the I-15 bridges. I thought it was a leaf or something at first, but then it veared off towards the bank across the current. | | Add Comment |

| Four easy miles along the trail. The weather was nice and warm. My legs felt tired though from running and playing basketball yesterday. Total time was 30:03 for around 7:30/mile pace. Splits were 7:40, 7:23, 7:24, and 7:35. I tried adding a little extra to the last half mile since it is short, but I think I added about 8-10 seconds over. I mapped out the route I take, and it shows that the first and last half mile are 0.03 miles short. I mapped a slightly different route adding a little extra and it was right on. | | Add Comment |

| It was another nice day. There was more wind though. I decided to do a 3 mile tempo run. I started off with 1.47 miles in 11:34 (7:52/mile), and then started the tempo. I wanted to go around 7:00/mile pace to get a little speed work but not fast enough to be uncomfortable. The first mile was 6:35, followed by 6:45 (with a turnaround), and finally a 6:42. It was a bit faster than I planned, but the pace felt good. I finished with 1.5 in 11:16 (7:30/mile). The legs are a little sore after this week, which is probably due to the increased mileage and the basketball game on Thursday. I plan to do the same mileage next week with a 10K race on Saturday. | | Add Comment |
