Last night I got over 7 hours of sleep and felt well rested this morning. My legs were a little sore from the hard running yesterday, but they functioned in today's morning run. I wasn't very happy last night with the horrible officials in my daughter's soccer game last night so I kept thinking about that all night. I'm kind of bummed because my daughter's first XC race is this Thursday, but her school class is going on an overnight expedition. This won't allow her to attend the race, but school has to come first.
This morning run I ran up Olympus Rd, and back down side Booth rd to get some uphill and downhill work. Then I ran down Yellowstone and turned on Industiral road and back home. Started out the first two miles with a 7:56 and a 7:29 this was going to be my easy day of running. Although I did run two consecutive faster miles 6:40 and 6:15. I tried mainly to keep the pace in the 7 minute range. I really need to training on rolling hills these next few weeks to simulate St . George. Totals 10.51 miles at an overall 7:07 pace in 1:14. This might be my only run today because of a busy schedule. (Mizuno Precison - 575.5 miles) Evening Ran 8.12 miles at an overall 6:58 pace in 56.37 minutes. I ran in a very strong headwind, but my pace was still fast, but I felt like I was running an easy run. Very weird, but I did a few hills going up Olympus rd down Booth Rd. Basically the same area, (but not same route) that I ran this morning. I did this while waiting for my daughter at soccer practice at the Gate City School by Highland High School. (Asics Trainers 13 - 329 miles)
