Decided to warm up with the bike before the run, but, I forgot how to ride a bike and crashed on State St. Anyone driving by at about 10:30 on Friday night probably got a really good laugh. Bloodied and bruised, I returned home after the "warm up" (3 miles) and managed to run for about 1.5 miles.I was so mad at myself......and embarassed! | | Comments(1) |

Left at about 8:45pm from my in-laws house in Lindon when it was pouring rain. The effects of my bike crash didn't slow me down much at all. Ran along the canal to Center St. in PG, then dropped down to somewhere south of the Purple Turtle and headed back to my house via State St. So nice to run off-road and I didn't have to stop once!! Came in at 1:13, was hoping for 1:12 - 1:15 so I felt great about that. | | Add Comment |
| | Ran 1/2 mile quick, 1/2 mile recovery just to get an idea of my speed. Finished 22:53 with the last 1/2 mile @ 3:15....hard to breathe, but fun to go fast!!! | | Add Comment |

Tried to keep consistent pace for entire 6 miles. Aiming for 8 minutes per mile.... finished 48:19 and very happy with that considering I had to stop for a total of 1 minute for different stop lights/cars. A couple of the miles, I must've come in closer to 7:30 - 7:45. | | Comments(1) |

A big shout out to Matt K. for letting me borrow his GPS watch......Thanks man! It was nice knowing where I was at as far as pace and distance and just going out there and running. Nice even pace: 23:47 | | Add Comment |
