I did the Nephi's Twist Trail tonight.  I felt pretty sore, so I ran pretty slow. I spent another 30 minutes on the exercise bike.

Better workout today, but still not where I would like to be.  I once again had Sunny drive me out to Anderson Junction.  I figured I would not try to run a 6 mile tempo, but settle for a 5 mile tempo, and I also figured since it was still well over 100 degrees I would only do 1 mile warm-up instead of 2.

1-5:58 Started at Mile Marker 6 this was a big improvement from this mile last week.  Last week I ran 6:23 on this mile, granted I had already done one mile of tempo last week at this point, but still.

2-5:45 Last week was 6:00

3-6:11

17:58 (5:59 average)

Like last week, I only made it through 3 miles, then I stopped

However, unlike last week after I gave myself a few minutes to try to recover I attempted two more miles.

1-6:52 this mile was hard and I struggled to get going again.

2-6:03 All I was wanting to do on this mile was be done.

12:58 (6:28 average)

Anyway, not the best workout, but at least I felt a little better than last week.  I also did a lot better on the 2 mile cool-down home.  In fact I was able to run most of the way home, this of course was after I went and laid in the creek for awhile to cool-off.

A decent workout this afternoon, once again in the heat.  It was around 102 when I started my workout.  I did a two mile warm-up then did 4x1000m with 2:00 min recovery.  I did this workout over by the cow field on the course I have measured out.

1-3:30 Felt easy

2-3:29 Still feeling  pretty good

3-3:32 Struggling

4-3:35 Ok I'm done.

I was really hoping to be able to do 5, but this was the first time I've done these repeats during this marathon training cycle so I guess I should be happy with 4, plus the heat took quite a bit out of me again.

Did a 3 mile cool-down over to Pah Tempe and then back home.

Ran with Bill this morning.  We went from the house over 600 North to Maverick and then back.  We stopped and watched some of the high school cross country meet.  I didn't feel very good today on the run.  I was having quite a bit of problems with my hips.  I had to walk up most of the hills on the way back.

A few easy miles this afternoon.
