AM: I ran with Gemachu today. We ran down to Sugarhouse Park, ran in the park a little bit, and then went back. I kept it easy today, 7:31 pace. It ended up being nine miles. Even though we started at 7:30, it was still too hot. We had to stop for water at the park and run through the sprinklers! My mile splits were pretty even, and the run was pretty easy. The only hard thing was all of the uphill was on the way back! My mile splits were: 7:32, 7:19, 7:16, 7:16, 7:14, 7:36, 7:34, 7:43, and 6:50. PM: I later went to the track to do some sprints. I did 6 times 90 meters. My fastest was 11.570. They felt pretty good. I did a mile warm up, and then cooled down about 3.5 miles. I cooled down at about 7:35 mile pace or so. There were quite a few people at the track for how hot it was outside. I even saw two guys there who looked like pretty good runners. I usually only see really slow joggers! On a side note, I am almost finished with Once A Runner. Has anyone read it? I like it so far.
