Stew's Corner

AM- 6.05 CT. Ran into Danny on the trail and ran for about a mile with him. Ended up being a pretty nice run.

PM- 6.07 before sunset.

Sunset Canyon loop with Greg. Kept it pretty chill being Greg ran a race yesterday.

Went to the track today for a speed work out which turned out to be more of a pace workout. I did 4x1600m. I hit the first one at 5:30 and just felt real bogged down and tired from a late afternoon lake trip yesterday and a few long nights, so I just decided to go for consistency and what I would call goal HMP. The next three I hit in 5:31 each so that was good. Also my foot has been killing me lately. My PF has really been acting up. I need to see the doc. I would like to go out again today, but I think the smart thing will be to just ice it and stay off it the rest of the day.

Easy 5 this morning with Gregory. Ran a nice pace around 6:56 av/mile.

Ran just over 8. Wind was blowing and I thought I might get rained on but no such luck. 7:02 av/mile.

2nd annual Bryce Canyon tune up. Ran up to the Summer Games 10K start. Kept it pretty easy at about a 7:50 av/mile. Then tempo ran down. Thought I'd just run off feel and not look at my pace. Thought I'd go around 6 flat on the first mile and just bring it down from there. Well ended up hitting the first mile in 5:39 and felt great. I just focused on keeping it relaxed and going with the flow. I took a gu at the 5K mark and that seemed to help. Ended up running the whole 10K in 35:11 with my fastest mile being a 5:36 and my slowest a 5:44. So all in all it was a good day. Last year I ran this run with some one pushing me along and ran a 36:16, then ran about a minute faster by myself this year. So hopefully this is a good sign for next week.
