Nice 5 miles this morning in the Desert Reserve. Was able to make a couple phone calls while on my run. I felt pretty efficient.

I'm planning on doing some mile repeats tonight. If anybody is interested let me know.

Ran mile repeats with Clyde at Worthen Park. Small warm-up then started the intervals. I think I should have warmed-up a bit more.

1. 5:21 - Felt pretty good the first 1/2 then going up the hill on the 2nd 1/2 I felt my lungs start to burn. After 1/4 cool down HR was 27 for 10 sec. I didn't start until it was down to 21 so it took a little while. By the time I was down to 21 Clyde was at 16.

2. 5:58 - At 1/4 my trap door was letting loose and I was having a hard time keeping the latch shut. My body just isn't used to being pushed like this. Pretty disappointed. After going to the bathroom and running 1/4 cool down my HR still at 26. Waited a little longer and it only went down to 24, Clyde was at 16. So I told Clyde to go ahead an I'd catch him on the second 1/2.

3. 800M - 2:37 Felt OK, I would of had a hard time pushing that on a mile. Clyde passed me the last 50M. My legs just wouldn't turn over.

Intervals suck, but they serve a great purpose. I'm looking forward to tracking my improvements. Last track season I took my nephew and helped him with some intervals on the same loop at Worthen Park. I would have him do 4 with a 600M cool down, and he would pump out 5:12, 5:15, 5:17, 5:12.

Ran a 5.5 mile run in the Desert Reserve.

Then ran over to Snow Canyon Pkwy for my hill repeats.

Hill Repeats - .30 mile hill - Elevation at Start 2829ft, Finish Elev. 3038 -

1. 1:44 - Felt like I started off pretty slow and thought I was going slower than last week.

2. 1:45

3. 1:51 - Started to have some good, strong and intense intestinal issues.

4. 1:48 - A little more mentally prepared since it was my last repeat.

Each repeat my heart rate was between 25-27 at the end and I started each repeat except the first at 21. My heart rate dropped down today faster than Tues.

Ran a 1.2 mile "cool down".

5 miles in the Reserve this morning.

Just in-case you haven't heard Running Club Tonight is at 5:15 pm due to the time change over the weekend.

Ran with the group tonight. I'm happy to see our women's group slowly growing.

We ran almost 6 miles. 1 mile around the park, up to Skyline Dr., around the trail and back down to the park. Dave and I pushed for the last 3/4 mile and came in before Bill and Clyde, good thing they didn't know we were in front of them.
