10 miles easy in East Ogden with about half on trails, avg pace 8:03/mile. My legs were quite tired from the leg strengthening I did last night. After the run this morning I did some light upper body lifting.

AEROBIC BUILDER 2x4

I met up with Ben, both Jons, and Denver at the pond for our normal aerobic builder route. We missed the rain thankfully, but is was very windy, especially the last 2.5 miles of the builder!

I wanted a 5:15 overall average for the whole thing. First four miles were just a hair under 5:15 avg, but was somewhat easy on effort with a bit of tailwind for the middle two miles. The second set was 5:20 avg, as the headwind was too much, despite an increase in effort, to hit 5:15s. But overall, the effort was good and this should be a beneficial workout for me moving forward.

A few weeks ago I could only manage a 3-2-3 at this pace, so now I've lengthened that to 4-4, and hopefully next time 6-2, if not just 8 straight. Eventually I'd like 12 miles uninterrupted at 5:15.

LONG RUN W/12-MILE PICKUP

I met up with Ken, Dave, Jon, and Tom for a long run. We warmed up 7 miles and then did a 12-mile steady state effort followed by a 2-mile cooldown. Average pace for the whole run was 6:20/mile, average pace for the 12 miles was 5:42/mile. It was a beautiful morning out there with great temps. 

The run felt really good except for the last mile of the steady state when I picked up a wicked side-stitch, but other than that I felt strong and comfortable.
