Easy 6 miles with last quarter fast in 1:18 for leg turnover.  6:20-7/min pace.

Badly wanted to run SLC half but just couldn't justify spending the money. These events are becoming so ridiculously expensive now so I have to pick them carefully and sparingly.  Wasn't easy though especially in light of the horrible tragedy in Boston this week.  I so wanted to be a part of this event to stand with everyone else and say that we will not be intimidated by such cowardly acts on our nation and we as a people.

AM-12 miles with the last 2 at MP effort. (1:22:10) 

 Right hamstring and sacrum are tighter than usual this morning. I think it's time to just go get a heel lift and raise the shorter leg until I can figure out how to correct this imbalance. That is if it can be corrected at all..  Trying to stay optimistic about this but it's been an ongoing thing for a few years now and it's time for some real answers.

AM-4 miles easy on the soft deck treadmill at Gold's. A less bone jarring and joint shearing choice than the usual concrete today. (29:21) flat level.

Long run up up and down Provo Canyon with Sasha, Chad R and Collin A.  I really enjoyed getting out again and meeting new people while taking on a longer run. Good times..  I have'nt run 20 miles for quite some time now and although I'm not quite as fit as I used to be, it still turned out to have a much better result than I had expected.  The first 12 miles were at smooth and easy pace with the last 8 progressing gradually in effort until the last mile that is.. with some rather brutal hill climb it turned the legs to jello.   A great training run however and with no bonking issues which in and of itself is really encouraging.  For now I'm going to make a few changes in the coming weeks on the training in order to regroup and then work towards strengthening the legs and core more in order to improve economy.  I just have to keep building patiently and being thankful for the blessing I have.  

20 miles total with 12 at 7:30-8/min pace with 8 at sub 6 to 6:20ish/mile.

AM-8 miles high aerobic with 5 at MP pace. / 0.5-1% incline at 6-6:15/mile. (51:37) total time.  Not fully recovered from Saturday but still pretty doable.  Need to buckle down and take another easy day especially after a longer hard run that I'm not used to.

PM-5 miles easy on 7th east in (38:42} including a mile with my son.

AM-Easy 5 miles on the grass and parkway trail.  No watch.

PM-Easy 3 mile jog. (26:11)  About 1.5 miles with Ian while we talked about orchestra.  He plays viola and really enjoys it. You can always tell when it's orchestra practice day because he is usually up at about the same time I am.
