A progressive 8.  I probably ran a bit too fast, but when I get in these moods I tend to over do it.  It felt good to run hard though!

2 up, then an 8 mile tempo all at 8 mm or better.  It kind of turned into a progression with my last 3 miles getting down to 7:41, 7:33, 7:28.  It felt good to work so hard

Good run today, out at Saltair.  Pushed a stroller the whole way and was able to maintain an 8:12 pace.  It started to get a little hot towards the end, but it was well worth it.

Early: 5.5 miles, mostly easy, but I did go hard for a little while.  It was sooooo hot out, but I figured I better be ready for anything at the most overrated running event ever in a couple weeks!  I hope to get back out later, after my class . . . .

Late: 3.5 miles in 20 minutes.  Pretty easy pace, but the legs definitely felt the earlier workout.  Another good practice for Ragnar . . . .

Treadmill day today . . . went a bit harder than I should have, but that means I will just take it a bit easier tomorrow. 

Late: 3 more easy miles, REALLY REALLY easy.

Hot and windy run this afternoon, but the heat is always good for me.  Did a big loop involving the JRP.  Did a 1 mile fast effort for mile 9, other than that just kept things nice and easy.

Race: Wasatch back (legs 6 and 18) (15.1 Miles) 01:55:31

Leg 6: 1.5 up Avon pass, then screamed down it! It was so steep, and I was such a maniac that I had a 3 mile stretch of 6:13, 6:15, 6:40. It was really steep, but still felt good to run so hard. Overall average pace was 7:11, that first bit up hill slowed my time a bit. 6.9 miles total

Leg 18: From the outskirts of Morgan up east canyon road to the reservoir. Managed an 8:11 avg pace, running really hard. It was pretty steep, but I feel like I was giving it about a 7:20 effort, but I could be wrong. Ran from about 11:30 to 12:30 at night.

Leg 30: ran hard, had nothing left in the tank, first mile was around 8 min the second around 7:20 and the last quarter around 6:50 pace. Glad to be done with the race.

Little shake-out run today.  4 miles, and it was nice and cool out!  Felt good to loosen up a bit, but I could still feel the effects of running hard for 17 miles over the weekend.

Early: 6.1 easy, yet still very hard miles . . . Had some gi issues, but got through it all.

 Late: 4 easier miles, but the legs felt better, for the most part.

Took a few days off, feel better.  Gonna start back to the build up again next week.  Ragnar really took a toll on me . . .
