10 miles

 went out with the dog and ran for 92:00minutes total.  mostly on paved trails. i was a little surprised that they have been clearing them of snow. this is good to know. picked up the pace a few time for a few hundred yards.  i am just guessing but i think we covered about 10 miles.

3 mile warm up on the streets.  Then  2 x 2mile on the track. goal pace was 6:00 miles

set 1--mile 1 5:57  mile 2 6:00  total time 11:57

set 2--mile 1 6:02  mile 2 5:54  total time  11:56   started to get a little behind pace but just increased and effort and pain and finished strong.  pretty good workout for this time of year and considering my training since SGM.  i was pleasantly surprised. weather was great today.

total workout 9 miles.

8 easy miles with the dog.  She seemed tired, felt like i was dragging here along the last 4 miles.

I felt pretty good today.  i would like to get a good solid workout in tomorrow if i feel up to it.

13.09 miles out and back.  had a really good run this morning. Temps were mid 20's at start and low 30's at finish.  i just wanted to get a quality run in that was half marathon distance.  the effort was on the hard side of easy but still felt really comfortable.

total time was 1:30:16  9 sub 7:00 miles, fastest 6:26(last mile) slowest 7:18.

my watch died at 11miles, here are my splits:  took a half of GU at about 5-6 miles, one before race.

mile 1 6:22

mile 2 6:23

mile 3 6:12

mile 4 6:12

mile 5 6:11

mile 6 6:21

mile 7 6:22

mile 8 6:27

mile 9 6:24

mile 10 6:21

mile 11 6:30  watch died at 11.07miles and 1:10:16

 last 2+ miles at 13:00 minutes.  many seemed to think that the course was long but my watch let me down.  This was a good race for me. I had 4 goals in mind heading into the race.

goal 1 match or better last years time of 1:22:42

goal 2 run my splits at the same pace

goal 3 focus on breathing  to avoid side aches which seem to plague me in longer races

goal 4 good leg turnover esp. on the up hill sections

considering  that last years course was short, my time this year is probably at least equal and i feel good about the race.  i have to admit that i surprised myself a little bit. my training in oct,nov,dec was very low key(so few miles that i didn't even keep track). 3 weeks ago i ramped up the running to hit the mid 30's to prep for the race.  sometimes less is more because i ran alot more miles leading up to the same race last year.  it was a fun race and i don't mind an honest course as apposed to the downhill races that we usually find in southern utah.

Legs felt really good today.  probably as good as they felt most of last week. no soreness after the race just a little tightness in the calfs

11 very easy miles after playing a church basketball game earlier in the morning.  took the dog out for the first 5.5 on a route i have ran only once before. It has a really good hill on it that i would like to use for some hill workouts down the road. after dropping the dog off at home i went out for another 5.5 on my usual route minus the extension up the canyon trail.

 considering the basketball i have played this week and not running monday or tuesday, i feel pretty good about this week.  body seems to be holding up well enough.
