Ran 5 miles this morning up Emigration Canyon. In the afternoon we ran around the VA hospital along Foothill. Then ran up to 11th avenue and came back the same way. Added to 10 when I got back to the track.
AM run was an easy three miles. Felt really good to get out and loosen up my legs. In the afternoon we ran up Sunnyside Avenue to the Governers Grove (it's a gravel loop). We jogged one loop to loosen up and measure the distance. It was close to a half mile. We then did a fast loop that was supposed to be about 30 seconds slower than race pace. But I was feeling really good so I decided to go a bit faster and Chris stuck with me so that was awesome. Then we jogged back to Sunnyside Avenue and ran up to the Hogle Zoo trailhead. We did a 400 meter hilly run that was supposed to be at race pace. Then we jogged farther up the trail and did 4 half mile hill repeats. The trail had at least 3 uphills as you ran up and then running back you had really good downhill to push on. I am really glad that I was able to get some hill work because it is making my legs feel really strong!
3 in the morning. Ran down to Liberty today and did 3x2 mile. I hit 10:07,10:18, and 10:20. Coach wanted me around 10:20 so I was pretty happy. Felt really good but during the thrid one I really had to work. Ran back to the track.
