Very Easy 7 - Desert Reserve.

7 on the treadmill evening @ 6pm.  I decided I needed to start doing my workouts earlier.  I have found that if I wait for it to get cooler and do my evening workout outside I'm not able to get to sleep until 12 or 1am at night. . 2 Miles Tempo @ 5:45 pace

Here is my plan for the week:

Mon: 14 miles - 3-4 Tempo on Evening Run.

Tues: 14 miles - 3-4 miles at Marathon pace

Wed: 10 miles - 4 x 1mile repeats on track

Thurs: 14 miles - Evening Run A little faster.

Friday: 10 miles Easy

Sat: 15 mile long Run

Overall Mileage Goal: 75-77 miles

7 Miles on the SCHS track with morning Tues morning group. 3 miles at marathon pace.

Evening run with Kendra tonight. 3 miles

Desert reserve morning run - 7 miles easy.

This evening we met at the St. George Acceleration Ctr. for a lecture on nutrition and training.  We ended up leaving early to get our run in. 8 miles - Bloomington Loop.  After about  2 miles in we picked the pace up a little but, after about 3 miles my Burrito from lunch started trying to get out of my system (if you know what I mean).  So, I pulled off the trail while Clyde watched for people - and I took care of business. After that I felt much better and we just cruised back to the cars.

Morning Reserve run 7 miles easy.

Great run this morning with Bill, Dave and Steve O. Ran from the Veyo Store down to the running store. Took a while to warm up but once we started going I felt great.  Dave decided he wanted to drop 3 miles at 5:20-5:30 pace and stupid me tried to keep up.  I think it really effected my run the rest of the way.  I've noticed I don't handle speed changes very well in the middle of a long run.  Overall I was really happy with the run and I'm noticing improvements.
