Awesome weather in Cedar!!! Today's plan was speed, so I didn't run until 11. I started with 6 easy miles, trying to find a track to run around. Practice was taking place at SUU so I jogged to CHS, but as I was lacing up my spikes, a PE class came out and took up the track. So back to SUU and by then the team was gone and I could finally get started. The workout was 5x1000 and my program calculated each at 3:00. I can't remember ever doing 1k repeats and that sounded much too fast, but I gave it a shot anyway.
I jogged 400m between each repeat and when I finished, I was very pleased with how things went. The 3:04 seemed too easy, so I guess my program knew better than I. Last week was my first speed work in ages and I struggled to hit my times, but now I'm wondering if it was the humidity that got me last week. It felt effortless to come through the 800 mark at 2:25. I guess I'd much rather run @ 6000ft and dry air? Anyway, 2 easy miles to cool down, plus 1 mile barefoot on the grass. Body is feeling pretty good.

I really struggled this morning to get anything going. Not sure why? I didn't swim for a week while in Oregon, so I'm guessing I was a little tired from yesterdays swimming. Anyway, I started with 3 easy miles, then just stood there, not wanting to start a tempo workout. Not only was I lacking in energy, but I wasn't into it mentally either. Anyway, after 10 minutes of delayed stretching, I finally started. I ran the hotel frontage road out 2 miles, back 2 miles, then under the freeway and past the movie theater. I finished the 5 mile tempo and did 2 more easy miles, then called it a day. I'm tired. Total Tempo Time: 28:04 Pace: 5:36 Sinister(137) Bike 5 miles

Ran 2 easy miles this morning. I forgot my gloves and had to call it quits when I couldn't feel my hands/fingers.

Amazing run this morning. I'm in Arizona for the weekend and I ran around Monument Valley as the sun rose behind the red cliffs. Very cool. My wife was following in the car and took some sweet pictures--I'll try and post them when we get back to Utah. Started with half of a bagel and banana 1 hour before running. It was a little windy this morning, so to avoid the wind head-on, I ran back and forth on a 3.5 mile strip of road. It got a little boring around 17 miles, but I survived the mental aspect of the run. It was basically 3 miles up-hill (1 very gradual, 2 &3 somewhat steep), then the opposite back down. I did 20 miles at a good pace, then did 1 more very slow mile to cool down. Gatorade @ 5, water @ 8, Gu @ 10, Gatorade @ 13, 16 and 18. No cramps--my gut is ready to race. Another week down....
