10.1 Total Miles - Out and Back on Rose Canyon Rd to Yellow Fork
- Total Time 1:30:57
- AP 9:00
- Foot was a little sore from yesterday's run so I didn't push it ..
- Not going to kid you...that was tough this morning! My legs just did not want to turn over today. Plus inhaling all the smoke from yet another fire made deep breathing really yucky at best. But in spite of all that it is still a blessing to be able to get out and run! It's a great day to be alive!!

Love the view! BEautiful race. Well organized and since I love pineapple I liked the finish line food. I could tell at about mile 10 this wasn't to be a PR day for me...but this is one I would come back and do again. |

JRP - Long Run
- Total miles 16.5
- Warm up 2 miles
- Then went to intervals 1M Fast Pace (10k-HM pace) then quick jog rest followed by another 1M Fast Pace then 1M easy pace...then repeted for the full time.
- Obviously speed is my focus right now...gotta get it up!
- Heel felt really good after and through the weekend. I'm thinking I may just go with my Gel DS Racers (light shoes) for the SGM. Of course by then I may need a new pair.
