Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
8.15	2.00	0.00	0.00	10.15

Did 10.15 miles this morning at a 7:03 pace in 1:11. It was a little chilly this morning at 31 degrees, but I stayed in my racing shorts no way was I going back to tights. I wore a tech short sleeve shirt with arm warmers in case I got hot I could roll them down. Pretty good progressive run, but the knee was still a bit achy. My last mile was way inconsistent with the rest of the progressive pace at 6:07. But it didn't feel hard, but felt good and comfortable. I actually got sleep last night from two late nights of 1:30am.
splits
7:5, 7:37, 7:23, 7:13, 7:02, 6:57, 7:00, 6:51, 6:48, 6:07 (got carried away on the last mile)

Coming back I need to find that MP pace for several miles, that's the big key in the marathon. Need to really work on that in long training runs.

I was talking with Luke (co race director of the Pocatello50) today and he said you will be virtually guaranteed a spot in the race. Cool. Are you doing the 20 mile distance?

Cody - I keep asking myself if I can do it or not. I haven't trained on the trails at all or extreme uphill altitude. Not sure what trail shoes to use since I've never ran in any. But challenges is what I've always been able to succeed at.

Any advice or what do you think? You been trailing for a while.

I think you can do the race as long as you play it cool. It is by no means anything like a marathon. Go slow! It is just a jog.

Shoes are not that important. Road shoes are fine. If you have to have to have trail shoes there are lots of good options.

One all time favorite is the brooks cascadia. A new favorite is the Altra Lone Peak. Also, I love my Hoka Stinson B Evo shoes but they are pricey. Definetly don't want to ever pay full price for those. Call Steve Hooper at St. George Running center and he will help you out. Ships to your home. No shopping necessary.
