Today I wasn't for sure what or how I wanted to run, normally I try and do my hard runs on Wedensday's but with the race on Monday and then being sore yesterday I really didn't want to push it to hard. I decided that I would not run Payson Canyon and try and run some flat instead. I planned on doing 12, starting with a 2 mile warm up and then 4 miles at a comfortable pace and then 4 miles at 6:45 pace and then finish with a 2 mile cool down.
Warm Up
1 8:07
2 7:13 (Kind of got carried away)
Steady Pace
3 7:05
4 7:07
5 6:59
6 7:20 (Heart Break hit at this mile, always fun to run that hill)
Tempo
7 6:46
8 6:57 (Hill up to Osborne's, I need to push the hill's harder)
9 6:46
10 6:51 (little hill at the byu dairy, I hit this mile and my watch read 1:11:11, kind of cool)
Cool Down
11 7:24
12 7:34
Total time 1:26:07 - ave pace 7:11
I felt really good today, better than I had anticipated. I think that I was just feeling sorry for myself yesterday. I think I needed to just get out and run. The weather was perfect this morning, long sleeve shirt and shorts with gloves, drank 10oz of water and really felt good through out the whole run.
