| | Longest run of mylife so far, and it felt like it. for this run I started out at a quicker pace and tried to hold consistent paces for the whole run instead of negative splitting. It worked out pretty well. I ran on state street from lehi to university parkway, then down to UVU for the track meet. started out at 6:41 for the first mile, slowest mile was 6:58 or something. Average pace ended up being 6:38. felt pretty good at the end altough my legs were in shock. Oh and my stomach hurt the whoel entire run, which gives me confidence that I can still push through my stomach pain at a decent pace. **don't eat cobler and raman noodles the night before the marathon**

| | two mile warm up, 16x200 alternating between mile and 5k pace (36-37/42-43), mile cool down. Splits were 42, 37, 41, 37, 40, 35, 39, 35, 38, 35, 38, 36, 37, 34, 36, 34. They all felt really good and really relaxed. I had 90 seconds rest in between. By the end I could feel my legs start to hurt and my muscels start to tighten up so I am glad I didn't have to do any more.

| | Legs felt better but calves are still tight. I had to get a hill work out in so why not do it while my claves are super tight. I treated this as a strength run and pushed the hills, both up and down. Got in 7 up and 7 down, and my legs started loosing up towards the end which was nice. average afater I warmed up was 6:40ish.

| | This was a rough run. I was planning on just taking it easy and averaging around 7:15, and my first mile was great and easy at just under 7:30, but I didn't have another mile over 7 after that. After mile 11 I didn't have another mile over 6:30, and I started to feel it in my achilles around mile 15. The first 13 miles felt great though. I felt extremely strong up the hills, and under 6:30 pace felt nice and relaxed. The last four miles were the worst. I didn't slow down but my legs started aching pretty bad, and my achilles felt like it was close to the damage control zone. I made it through it and really need to focus on taking the 20 miler next week easy so my body can adjust to these distances. Overall average was 6:39 with some good hills thrown in the loop.

| | Was going to do a track work out but I had to get some grading done so i will move that workout to tomorrow. However on this run my form felt horrible and my knee was bugging me the whole time. My achilles felt fine which I am thankful for, but I really dont' want to have to start dealing with my knee again. I'm hoping it is just lag from my satruday run and that I got all the bad juju out so I will feel better tomorrow. We shall see.

| | Track workout: 2x(1600, 400, 800). 1600 @ 10k, 400 @ mile, and 800 @ 5k pace with 3 minutes rest in between each. I went fast on all of them and felt ok but on the last couple intervals my calve tightened up really bad so I didn't finish the last 800. splits were 5:28, 1:12, 2:38, 5:21, 1:09, 1:19. It is really hard to relax and run these slower paces when I am by myself and just want to get things done with.... Bleh....

| | Warmed up with luke and ryan before their race. Felt fine, wish I would have been able to go more but it didn't work out.

| | This was an interesting 8 miles. I never felt great but I didn't feel horrible. I was supposed to do a pace run but on my warm up mile I already felt fatigued. Then it started hailing and raining pretty hard the last two or three miles, which was... funish. It's nice to have that every once in a while.

| | I got in about 2 setting up the interval course for the teams pracice, but once practice started I didn't get anymore in. Again I wish I would have but I wanted to see how they all did and then I had to get home quickly.

| | BLAH.... This was supposed to be my 20 mile run. Instead of going around 6am like I normally do, I waited to start until around 11am. I felt fine and I was going slow which felt nice. It was a lot more hilly of a run than I have done on my long runs, but I felt like sinc I was going slower I could handle it. The heat took its tool on me and when mile 15 hit I started tanking really quickly. I didn't bring any water and I couldn't find any avaliable water close so it drained me physically and mentally. I made it to 16.5 before Lacey came and picked me up. This was stupid because my body was feeling fine but it's a good learning experience of what to expect when I run later in the day. Oh and now I have a horrible sun burn.... Avergae pace was 7:09.
