Morning run in St George mostly on the bunny trail just down the hill from the condo.  Ran about 5 with Kim then 5 more solo.  Lots and lots of bunnies out and about today.  Felt a little sluggish some of the time (too much eating the last while!!) but still enjoyed the run.

Early morning run.  Temps nice and cool but a little muggy.  I was surprised to find the legs seemed to have a little extra zip so decided to do an MP progression run.  Start out comfortable then gradually speed up so that I hit MP about 1/2 way through the run then just try to hold it until the end. I was pleased with the run and how the legs were feeling.

Easy shorter run. Want to have good energy level for the 22-23 mile run tomorrow.  The canyon wind was relentless again this morning.  Did a few strides toward the end when I had the wind at my back.

Another Friday long run mostly down Provo Canyon on the river trial but with a little uphill backtracking around miles 8-10.  Felt pretty good for 13-15 miles, probably went out a little too fast but couldn't seem to get myself to slow down.  I would think I was slowing down but garmin said pace stayed the same - in the 7:30-8:00 range. 

We started this run later in the morning (around 9:15) and paid the price later in the run coming out of the canyon as temps got into the 80's and I majorly hit the wall and had to majorly death-march my way to 20 miles. I was hoping for 22-23 miles but I was entirely done for at 20. Actually I was done for at around 18 but I knew I had to get at least to 20 so I hobbled it in.

Nice to get the last 20+ run out of the way! Looking forward to TAPER TIME!!
