Easy 8 miler on trail going north.

Felt great for having run 26.2 this past Saturday. Legs feel a little tired but not bad at all compared to the marathons where I run all out.

I ran 8 miles with my baby Jamillie in the stroller. Felt pretty good, prob ran 7-7:20 pace.

Legs are coming back to life. Left calf was a little tight but not too bad.

Easy 8 miler, tried to keep it slow as we are running a 15 mile tempo tomorrow. We are running a good portion of the Top of Utah Marathon course so I hope it helps.

Spencer down in Draper organized an outstanding run this morning. There were about 16 people that showed up. The goal for the run was to do 3 or 4 warm up and then do a pregression run after that. Doinf 5 miles about 6 min pace, 5 miles at 5:45 pace, then 5 miles at 5:30 pace.

When I looked at the workout I did not know if I could accomplish this task. For the first reason, I ran 26.2 miles last week and I dont know if my legs are fully back. I feel they are but hard to tell until I do another long run. The other reason being that 15 miles at those paces is pretty fast but it is downhill which makes it a lot easier.

My splits were

6:40, 6:27, 6:38, 6:00, 5:51, 6:03, 5:59, 5:44, 5:44, 5:52, 5:30, 5:42, 5:34, 5:35, 5:23, 5:29, 5:27, 5:27, 7:43, 7:40, 6:54

Avg 6:04 entire run so not bad. It was a good solid run. I got gapped with about 4 miles left and Mike, Matt,  and Ben took off and I could not catch them. Every single one of them are in great shape. I could see any of those guys winning the Marathon. I have a ton of work to do and it might be to late to bust out a fast Marathon but we will see in a few weeks. Im very happy with todays workout, it gave my confidence even though I got beat by many people.
