AM: Warmed up for about 3 miles then did a 5 mile tempo run. Legs feel pretty good considering I ran a fairly hard race last Thursday and a 21+ mile run on Saturday. However mentally and on the nervous system side of things I felt drained. Also not good sleep at all last night with all the storm and wind commotion. I saw quite a few large tree branches and even a few small trees blown down and blocking the roads so I guess the winds got pretty nasty. So anyway I decided to give myself a good size pace range so I wouldn't quit early. Decided to run anywhere in the 10K to 1/2 marathon range which I figured to be around 6:00-6:40. I ran the middle section of the Spanish Fork 1/2 marathon course which is quite hilly so I was unable to stay under 6:40 going up Zephyr and toward Harry's Hill, but at least I finished the run and was able to keep the overall pace below 6:30. So all-in-all I think it was an OK workout on a groggy Monday morning. Saw Pat Loss and Kent Wing as I was headed home and talked to them for a bit.
Splits were 6:13, 6:42, 6:52, 6:11, 6:22. Ave pace: 6:28. PM: Ran 3.1 miles with Nate. Ave pace: 8:03. RHR 47
