Two weeks ago, I increased the pace slightly on my user-defined interval workout on my treadmill, and I wasn't able to complete all the intervals at full speed. Tonight I was able to do that. It's great to see myself make progress!

And today I found out I made it into St. George. I'm excited. I haven't felt this motivated to train in a long time. I'm hoping to string together some good weeks of training. My mileage won't be as high as some people, but I will do as well as I can.

4 miles with some hills. Didn't push too hard but got the heart rate up.

Each week my goal is to do a tempo run that lasts 42 minutes with 3 minutes cool down (and then some walking to cool down more). Why 45 minutes total? Because that's how long it takes to watch a TV show on hulu.com. Anyway, my goal each week will be to run farther than the previous week. This week I started strong and then really struggled. I barely held 7:30 pace for the last 2/3 of it. But it gives me a good baseline. In the 42 minutes I ran 5.84 miles.

I felt good, so I did the same workout as yesterday. I struggled again. Hopefully sometime I'll get back into shape. 5.57 miles during the 42 minutes. But I think I already passed 20 miles for the week.

I ran outside today. And it was a beautiful run. To the west of the Point of the Mountain on I-15, there is a big dropoff that goes down into an industrial area. I'd never been down there before, but some parts are actually quite beautiful. I took a wrong turn and ended up going through some private property, but oh well. I finished out on the frontage road. It was great to be outside. I think I'm going to have some good fun exploring trails in that area.

For the week, I got about 26-27 miles. That's a great number for me right now. My goal for next week is 30.
