I got a late start, hit the trail head about 7:15. Ran up Provo Canyon, had a faster than normal pace going up. I knew I had limited time. I had to get home and get my son ready for football. I wanted to get 8 in before I had to take him to his game, so I pushed the pace going up, and was hoping that I could equal that going back down. The wind sucked going up! Wow. I hate when you feel like your loosing ground. Finished my 8 just in time to get Brady to his football game, then took of from the parking lot for 4 more miles. That was tough. There was about 30-40 minutes between runs, and I did push the pace up and down the canyon, my knees felt like they were pounded on. The route for the 4 mile was basically the coarse (NOT flat) that is used for the Turkey Tri in Nov with enough added on to make it 4. So, the breakdown:
.5 : 4:03 .5 - 1.5 : 7:41 1.5 - 4 : 19:40 (7:52 pace) 4 - 6.5 : 17:22 (6:57 pace) 6.5 - 7.5 : 7:18 7.5 - 8 : 3:50 59:54/7:29 pace
Next run 4/32:00 8 min pace (was tired and it showed. Like last week) |
