St. George Running Center - Run For Life.

HOLY HOT HOT HOT! I Feel like a lobster. I ran my 9.6 route to the store today at 2pm and thought I was being grilled on the asphalt.  It must have been 90F.  I couldn't believe it. I finally made it to the store. Nice steady pace. I must have drank up the whole water cooler once I got to the store.

The run home was a little cooler - the down hill back to the house helped a little.  A little faster on the way back.  Still pretty hot however. Glad to be done for the day. Tomorrow and Wed. are supposed to be cooler. 9.5 (cut the tangents).

Ran with the group this morning ( Dawson, Stacy, Natalie and Myself) at the SCHS track.  Did 800's with them. Nice steady pace - a little slower on the cooldowns. Did not have the Garmin but I think it was around 5 miles total.

Morning 7.5 to the store.

Evening 7 miles from the house. Really windy still.

Great run with Ken Carlson this morning. Met at the store and drove up the SGMarathon Course 15 miles. Little cold at first so I bundled up - but it got warm pretty quick as we got going.  By the end of the run I must have looked pretty fun with my tights on, shirt off and my two tops wrapped around my waist.

Anyways, here are the splits below:

1. 6:59

2. 6:51 - going up out of Dammeron Valley miles 2-4

3. 6:46

4. 6:40  

5. 6:15 -heading into Diamond Valley

6. 6:05

7. 5:48 - Going around the volcano to the north SC entrance.

8. 5:57 - Water stop

9. 5:46

10. 6:04 - half of winchester hill

11. 6:03 - other half of winchester hill and a stop to put a stick in my shoe

12. 5:32  

13. 5:34 - Ken and I taking turns leading - nice strong pace - really felt great. 

14. 5:40 -  

15. 5:50 - At the end my legs started tightening up a little and Ken dropped me and a 5:18 the last mile.

Really happy about my performance this morning. I'm mostly happy about my leg turnover for those two mile at 5:30 pace. At the time it felt pretty smooth. I'm looking forward to my 5 mile tempo on Sat. 

 Evening Club run 7 mile loop. Pretty tired - very slow.

Great run with the guys this morning convention center loop 3 time + 3 miles. We were going to do tempo but everybody was pretty warn down except for Bill.  Good run - all I care about is getting my 80 for the week.
