Early PM: 8 easy downhill miles, right around an 8:00 min pace.  A bit harder than I wanted to go, but I had some time constraints.

Late PM: 90 straight minutes of basketball, my team kept winning so I kept playing, and playing hard!  Overall it was a great day of exercise!

Overall a pretty easy run.  I wanted it to be at an easier pace, but I wanted to get 8 miles in so I pushed it towards the end.  Started @10 min pace then gradually worked it up til 6:47, then I cooled it down for .5

AM: Basketball on a Thursday morning, let's just say I played really good defense, and very little offense. . . .

PM: 7 miles of good work.  2 up then 6x800 with 400 jogging between. Times were 3:19, 3:19, 3:19, 3:10, 3:12, 3:05. Then I cooled down til I hit 7 miles.  Nice workout, but I definitely could have gone harder, which is a good sign.  Hopefully this means a good time is coming my way by the great salt lake.

The only bad thing about the run is that I was on the treadmill, other than that things were good.  First 14 were really boring, 8:34 avg pace.  The last 4 I did a bit of progression starting at goal marathon pace.  7:30, 7:24, 7:19, 7:19.  I didn't have much left after those 4, and so I walked for 5 minutes then headed home.
