AM... [E] 5 mile run (32:41).  Pace was fairly quick--had to pick up Kate at airport.  Felt pretty good--plan on another run in afternoon.

PM... [E] 6.1 mile run (39:49).  Pace a little quicker than I wanted, but didn't feel terrible.  Legs a little tired toward the end of run.  Go very easy tomorrow.  Stretch after.

OK All... since I'm running on the Marathon GIS team for the Wasatch Back relay I figured I better join the group and get my training log on Sasha's website. Plus, it'll be a good motivational tool to stay sharp. I took an entire week off after Boston, and last week put in around 38 miles, so I'm starting to build back up where I need to be. This week is the beginning of throwing in some speed work again since I'm running the 1/2 at Ogden in a few weeks. I know I have the aerobic base from my Boston run--just need to tack a little speed on. Glad to be part of the group! Also--I run my training weeks Monday to Sunday--anyway to change that on our individual calendars?

AM... [E] 6.3 mile run (43:53). Concentrated on keeping pace VERY easy and comfortable. Stopped @ Viewmont and did 2x200 for some turnover (33-34). Light stretch after.

PM... Push-up pyramid to 8

Since this is the first workout day since Boston, I wanted to do a little speed work but not completely blowout my legs.

AM Run... [Q] 8.3 miles total (55:53). Warmed-up to Viewmont HS then 800m of speed builds (jog curve, stride the straightaway) prior to workout--total warm-up was around 2.65 miles. Decided on 5x800m with 200m recovery (~70 second slow jog). Workout went as follows...

800m #1 - 2:32

800m #2 - 2:35

800m #3 - 2:38

800m #4 - 2:37

800m #5 - 2:38

The first two intervals were quicker than they should have been--could have been because I had to deal with the Viewmont track team practicing at the same time. The effort really wasn't that difficult and I probably could have comfortably done three more 800's. Getting to 10 would have been doable, but tougher. Cooled down 800m @ Viewmont then same route home.  Light Stretch after.

PM Run... [E] 4.8 mile run (31:36).  Pace was a little quicker than I would have liked--probably should have worn a HR monitor to keep it easier.  Legs were tired after run--go easy tomorrow.  Stretch after.

PM Run... [E] 8.55 mile run (57:00). Well, so much for an easy recovery day. I ran the 8.3 mile Huntsman to City Creek loop with Kyle. We maintained a pretty steady pace until we turned back toward campus on 2d Avenue. We pushed the hills up 2d Ave--probably around 6:10 pace--definitely tough by the time we hit the U golf course, especially on the heels of a workout yesterday (even if it wasn't very long). Did 4 XC strides on soccer field after which tacks on about another .25--call it 8.5 for the day. Stretch.

Off for no good reason, other than I felt like it.  The beauty of slowly building up after a marathon.

AM... [Q] 10.9 miles (1:12:07).  W/u to Viewmont HS plus 800m of speed builds.  The weather was pretty decent during the warm-up and first set of 1200-400, but then started to get nasty in a hurry.  Rain/sleet/snow mix for most of the workout and wind picked up to about 15-20mph on the backstretch.  The workout was 4x(1200-400) w/200m recovery after 1200's and 600m recovery after 400's.  Considering how crappy the weather was, I was very happy with the workout and stayed right on my goal pace (5:20 pace for 1200's, 4:48 for 400's).   Workout splits were as follows...

1200 #1 - 4:00

400 #1 - 72

1200 #2 - 4:01

400 #2 - 72

1200 #3 - 3:59

400 #3 - 72

1200 #4 - 4:00

400 #4 - 72 

Legs could definitely feel effort on last couple 400's.  Cooled down 800m at the track and then c/d back home.  I was very pleased with the workout since I stayed right on the splits I wanted to hit--even more so because of the dreary conditions.
