Just over 7 miles total at 7:09 average but all but 2 miles were easy. Sasha wanted to run a 3 mile tempo and I decieded to pace him during the 1st and 3rd mile with just over a 1/2 mile jog rest between while waiting for him to come back from his 2nd mile. Another strange day pace wise in the sense that I thought we were going much slower than we were on both of the miles. On the first mile I would have guessed we would hit a 5:35-40 and we hit a 5:26. On the second mile I was thinking anything under 5:30 would be tough because it was an uphill mile. When we were running the second mile I would have guessed it would be about 5:30-35 and we hit a 5:18. So two times a mile at 5:26 and 5:18 with a 1/2 mile jog rest today. I'm not sure what to think of my fitness level right now as far as what to expect but I know I am starting to run faster. If I can up the miles after Ogden and lose the last 10 pounds of extra weight things will be looking much better for a decent Fall marathon.

You are obviously peaking. I'm looking forward to big things from you at Ogden and beyond.

Nice run. There's no way I could run an uphill mile at 5:26 nice job.

Kory - 5:26 was the downhill mile, 5:18 was the uphill, the same mile coming back. It is actually not that much uphill or downhill. I have established through a sequence of mile repeats on it that it is 7 seconds faster going down than up. Going down, even though it is down, according to my estimate is still about 3 seconds slower than you would go on a perfectly flat mile for some reason, likely due to a large number of small rises and drops. Note however, that Ted was not alone and in the back of his mind was trying to give me a run for my money on it, which made things quite a bit faster.

Thanks Sasha. I'm planning on Thursday running a hard 7 mile tempo and really pushing myself. I want to start adjust my body to get use to a consistent pace of 5:40. Hopefully I can shoot for that. I need to get faster and the only way to get faster is run faster and push harder.
