Went out for the long run this morning bright and early after eating the seafood buffet in Mesquite last night.  It made the  last few miles kind of tought, but I was still able to keep them in the 7:50 range.  I'm glad it's over.  Never fun running that far on your own.

I ran this morning before taking off to Vegas.  The first mile was just under 8 pace.  Then I kicked it up under marthon pace average for the last 5. 

While I was in Vegas I got a text from Dace about running 10 in the evening.  So after rushing back to Ashlyn's choir performance out at Tuacahn, I met Dace for a fast 10.   We finished just under 7:30 pace overall.

Dace and I went out for a run in the afternoon.  It turned out to be a great time because there was a nice break in the weather.  A little wind, but it just made us work a little harder.  It rained most of the day so we got lucky and picked the right time to run.

I just kept a nice easy pace for the most part.  I didn't look at the watch much.

Under marathon pace for the 4 miles.  Worked out at the gym for over an hour as well.

Dace and I ran for the the first 13 roughly and then I tacked on an additional 3 at the end.  3 of  the last 4 miles were under marathon pace so I finished up pretty strong. 

I had to get the long run in today because of the scout overnighter we're going on later today.  I averaged 7:37 overall.

Left from my house and then did the figure 8.  I did some jump rope and sit ups afterwards.

Today was the long run.  The temps were awesome.  Met Dace at his house at 5 am, and we took off.  We were in the 7:40's for the whole run.  Dace finished a little stronger than I did.  I ran out of gas on the last mile up River Road.

I felt good about the run though because there were a lot of uphill.  Nothing way steep, but not a lot of downhill like we'll see in the marathon.  I feel like I'm in pretty good shape with my training.  I just need to drop a few pounds over the next few weeks.

I went to the track to do some 800 work.  I did 10 800's with 400 cool downs after each.  I took a break after two 800's as well.  My 800's were 3:14, 3:13, 3:15, 3:15, 3:15, 3:13, 3:14, 3:15, 3:14, and 3:13.  This was my first attempt at speedwork for the year so I felt pretty good about it.

I had to go for an evening run today due to my trip to Vegas.  I hate evening runs.  Not my cup of tea.  I always feel much better in the morning.

Went out for a nice easy run this morning.  Didn't want to do anything too crazy with the Hurricane Half coming up this Sat.  Did some jump rope and situps afterwards.

Race: Hurricane Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:39:28, Place overall: 16, Place in age division: 6

I did the Hurricane Half Marathon this morning.  It was freezing cold at the start line.  The wind was blowing at a pretty good clip from the north to northeast.  So it was headwinds most of the way.  The headwind was even blowing climbing the big hill.  I decided to use it as a training run.  I was going to try and do a personal best.  I ended up finishing 6th in my age and 16th overall.  I felt good about that.  I ran a couple of slow miles after I got home.
