Did the out and back 6 today towards Fort Pierce.  Just a nice easy run.  I have to make the trip to Vegas today for appointments.   Supposed to be a late one.  Not really looking forward to it.

Ran the Little Valley loop the opposite direction so there was more uphill.  There were 2 runners across the road from me so I pushed the pace up the hill to stay with them.  A little friendly competition is always good.  Tommorrow I'll do some speed stuff.  Not looking forward to that.  I have Webelos and Hunter's basketball.  I had 14 Webelos this evening.  I'm solo with them now that the ward split so I invited one of the dads to come.  Two of them showed up so it worked out good.

Today was speedwork at the Desert Hills track.  I did 4 800's and 2 400's with quarter jogs in between.  I really detest speedwork, but I guess it's a necessary evil to get faster.  Especially when I have to run my training runs at a slower pace than I want to so I can stay injury free.

I ran the 4 800's at:

2:58

3:00

I ran the 2 400's at:

Dace and I met for some repeat hill work on River Road in the industrial area. We ran up and down the dirt road that goes to the water tanks. It's a little over a 1/2 of a mile up to the last tank. We did that 4 times, and then ran to Desert Hills High and back. I thought I was going to die on the uphill. I hadn't done a lot of steep uphill recently.

Dace and I ran our 12 mile loop through Tonaquint, Bloomington Hills, and around the river.  He tried to back out due to a little rain, but I was able to convince him.  The temperature was perfect.  We kept the pace down, and was just a nice easy run.

Woke up to fog covering the city.  I ran in heavy fog most of the way.  It was pretty cool.  Just went at a slower pace the whole time.

I did a little tempo run today.  I ran the first 4 under 7 pace.  I needed a rest after the 4, and then I picked up the pace again on mile 6.  I did a 6:48 on that one.  Nothing super fast, but it was for me.

I met Dace at the Dixie Ctr. for the middle miles.  He ran just over 5 with me.  So we went at a pretty good pace for those.  It was a great run overall.  I felt pretty good afterwards.  It was my longest run since the St. George Marathon.

I had a full day today.  We took 2 of the kids on their date with us on a hike to the Temple Quarry.  It's probably 3-4 miles round trip I'm guessing.  Then we all went on a 8-10 mile bike ride with all 4 of the kids.  So needless to say I had a pretty full day, but a great one.

I ran the first 3 out and back at 8:08 pace, and then I ran with Steph up the hills and back down of Stone Cliff.  I ended up at 9:12 pace overall after the slower miles with Steph.  It was good to get a chance to run with her it doesn't happen very often.

Did an easy loop around Little Valley this morning.  I'm starting to feel some minor pains in my lower right leg.  Hopefully it's nothing serious.

I decided to go a little further today so I didn't have to run so far tomorrow.  I had Bill's Dad's funeral to go to as well.

I did the 7.5 mile Little Valley loop that goes by Hannah's school.  It has a good amount of uphill in it.  I added a half mile in my neighborhood.

It was a muddy wet run this morning due to all of the rain we've had the past couple of days.  I love all of the moisture though.  We need it.

Dace and I went out from my house around the Little Valley loop this afternoon.  We went out pretty fast.  The 5th mile was at 6:51.  We even posted good times on the uphill portions.
