AM: 16.45 miles on the aerobic builder route extended into Ogden at the end, avg pace 7:00/mile. Ben, Taylor, Henry, and Jared showed up. Jared ran first three with us. We ran into Coach Hislop toward the end, who was out on his five mile walk. Good run that went by fast with some good conversation.

LONG INTERVALS: 4X5K WITH 1K REST

We switched our route a tad and ran the Uintah route we did for the 16-mile tempo a few weeks ago. We started on Skyline at Aztec. I ran well and I'm happy with it, but I'm just slightly behind where I was for Ogden at this same point in the buildup. I wish I were a bit more fit, but it is what it is at this point. I'm three pounds heavier now than I was then and I just cannot shed it, even with restricting sugars.

Splits:

16:07 (3:07, 3:14, 3:17, 3:18, 3:10)

16:16 (3:11, 3:13, 3:15, 3:19, 3:17)

16:12 (3:28, 3:15, 3:15, 3:07, 3:05)

16:04 (3:06, 3:18, 3:11, 3:16, 3:11)

Average of 16:09.8 or 5:12/mile. I was a 15:59 avg for same workout in spring.

PM: 4 miles easy pushing Hannah and Nora in the double stroller, avg pace 7:21/mile.

AM: 8 mile shuffle, avg pace 7:51/mile. Yesterday pretty much drained me. Today and tomorrow will be easy recovery runs and then the big one on Saturday!

PM: 6 miles with Manny on the Centenntial Trail from Uintah, avg pace 6:51/mile. I only felt about 100 times better this afternoon than this morning! Phew, I was worried with how badly I felt this morning; I thought maybe I was getting sick. But I feel much better now. I got in a ton of calories today and drank lots of water.

LONG TEMPO

Ben, Bryant, and I ran up in Monte Cristo. We did a three-mile warmup with half of it up the highway and half back down. We started at the dirt lot and did 18 miles of tempo. We did one mile out and back up toward Causey to get a good uphill mile in the middle of the tempo. Bryant and I ran the whole way together and did a 5:20/mile avg. So, basically 18 miles at 2:20 marathon pace. Three more weeks to STG!
