42 min easy run this morning.  Ran up Loafer Cyn Dr and then up to Elk Ridge Church, so a lot of uphill in the beginning but then some good down at the end.  Speed work tomorrow and Thursday!

Today was another interval day.  Same as last week, 10-12 was the plan I opted for 12 because they are only 25 seconds each with a 1 min rest.  These seemed easier than last week so I hope that means good things are happening.  Warmed up for 20 min because the temps were pretty cold, cooled down after for 22:58, probably should have rounded it up to 23 min and 8 miles but I am not real concerned about mileage just the time that I am on my feet.  So far so good, no real pains and I feel great!  Speed again on Thursday, cant wait to see how the body reacts!

Walked for a mile and then did 25 min of yoga, then had to get another 20 min of something easy in so I walked another mile on the treadmill while I watched the jazz in overtime.  To bad they lost, but what can I say...its the Jazz.

So today the schedule called for a 20 min steady pace tempo run.  I used the pace calculator to see where I should be pace wise and it said between 7:10 and 6:53.  I warmed up for 20 min, out 10 min into payson and then back to by my house to start the tempo.  Plan was to stay relaxed and see if I could hold around the 6:53 pace for the first mile and then go from there.  After the first half mile I got sick of looking at my watch so I just found a comfortable rhythm and stuck with it and just enjoyed my music and the fact that I was running kind of fast. 

splits- 6:47, 6:42, 6:39 I was very surprised at how easy this felt today, I was only supposed to run for 20 min, but when I checked the watch at 19 min I figured that I could hit 3 miles pretty close to 20 min so I actually went 20:08.58...oops.  When I finished the run I actually felt like I could have easily kept going.  This makes me hunger for more but I know that I still need to be careful.  

Finished the last 3 miles back to my house for 24 min cool down.  Went down stairs and walked on the TM to warm the legs back up.  They felt like ice blocks with temps this morning.  So glad it went well today!

total running time 64 min.
