Eight miles on the BSL trail starting at the equestrian park.  I looked forward to this run all week.  It had rained the day before and it was a beautiful morning.  I loved every minute of it.

Average pace 10:51

Pre-race run.  I probably ran a little faster than I should have, but it felt good.  9:29, 9:04, 8:41 and 8:48 for last .5.  Average pace 9:03.

Cheris picked Jackie and me up at my house at 3:50 am.  We drove to Eccles Stadium and got on the buses.  It was really warm in town.  It was a little cooler up the canyon.  The race started at 6:30.  It was my first time on this course and I really liked it.  I held back the first mile and tried to ease into my pace.  I passed Jackie at about mile 3.  I had a Gu a mile 4 and another around 9 or 10.  I carried my little bottle with Gatorade and sipped on that for the first 10 miles. It was a fun atmosphere running on the parade route.  There were tons of 5k people walking side by side.  That made it difficult to get around.  I did a lot of dodging the last 1.5 miles.  Overall it was a good race.  I finished the race and headed straight to the porta potties.  I'm glad I didn't have to waste time during the race.  My splits are 7:51, 7:37, 7:30, 7:32, 7:44, 7:33, 7:29, 7:48, 7:22, 8:04, 7:53, 7:42, 8:00 and 7:59 avg for .22.  Overall average pace 7:42.  I've lost about 5-6 lbs in the last month.  That's a lot for me.

6 easy miles on the treadmill at work with a 1% incline.

My legs felt pretty good considering I ran the 1/2 the day before.

I ran on the treadmill at work.  I switched my running schedule around this week so I could run the Deseret News 1/2 on Tuesday.

1.5 miles wu, 3x1600 w/ .5 recovery (7:18, 7:18 and 7:13), 1 mile cool down

It was so hot in the gym.  I got it done.
