AM:  Set my alarm and don't even remember stopping it.  Ergo, I missed a very good group run today which was similar to what I wanted to simulate.  I guess everyone's first mile was slow today.  I hit the mile mark @ 7:58 and it felt like 10 minute pace.  My legs were tired for sure for the first 3 miles.  I felt like going 10-12 miles just depending on how I felt.  I knew at some point in the run I would either do some 1/2 mile repeats at 5:30pace.  At mile 3 I felt warmed up enough to start the first of 4 1/2 mile repeats with a 1/4 mile to 1/3 mile recovery jog in between.  I felt very good on the run.  By mile 7 I was done with the repeats and my legs felt a little tired again, but it was a great run.  Last 3 miles felt like a walk but glad to feel this good after Saturday's LR.  My right quad seems to be hurting a little.  If its not one thing on my body, it is another.  These aches and pains that occur are funny and weird.  Very humbling sometimes.  I feel I have been very fortunate thus far.  Hope I can stay consistant with the workouts.  Now it is just time to tune up for a great debut marathon.  Very excited but the marathon is still a very long run.  Gotta not think about it.  

PM: what was going to be a simple 3-4 easy shakeout run turned into a nice little mini-double. Went out at a snails pace trying to work out the kink in my right quad.  Went through the mile mark in 8:14 and thought hmmm what if I pick it up a little will that help my quad?!  Ok, so pick it up, ok that feels good pick it up more, and more...anyways, after a mile and half I look at my pace and I am at 5:55 pace.  I decide to try and go faster.  I end up at 5:45 pace and held it for another mile.  I don't know where that came from but it felt awesome.  did another 2 miles easy after that and called it a day.  Ol fat boy here still has some gas in the tank.  While I was on my run, I thought more about a race idea I have that I will be working on through out the year and hope to launch it in 2014.  I need to do some more research on race dates... let's just say the race will be really fast and the prize money will be fantastic(no gift certs for the winner @Riley Cook) I will post more details as it comes together.  In the meantime, my consistency is coming together.  Now to relax and have some much needed food and ice cream!!!

Lunch:  Easy 6 miles around Draper.  Looking to only do 65 miles this week.  PHX is only 2.5 weeks away.  Let the fun begin.  Tune up time.  The base is there for me.  Hopefully the speed just keeps getting better.  Legs feel really good.  I am pumped. Sub 2:50 is the goal.

Lunch:  Felt really good today.  I ate a lot before the run so stomach felt heavy, but I was so hungry.  Decided to do a little tempo today.  Went out and did a solo effort.  I was 7:19 on the first mile to WU.  I did the next 4 miles in 6:08, 5:57, 5:52, 6:05.  I felt very relaxed.  Just focused on my stride and ran comfortable.  The last 1.2 miles I just ran to CD around 7:10 pace.  I think I was 6:26 overall for the run which is a good little MP run for me.  Running again later tonight...

PM:  Easy 8 miles around Draper (7:20avg pace)

Lunch:  Have my boys this weekend so I am doing my LR earlier.  I started out @ 7:20 pace for the first five miles with Ben Martinson.  He is a newcomer and did very well today.  Loving his progress for the SLC marathon.  I picked it up to right at 7 minute pace for the next five miles slightly incline.  Quick bathroom break then back out to do the next 10 miles.  I started out the same 7:20 pace for the first couple of miles and then through in some 6:40 pace for a few(3) miles then backed off for bit.  Then the mile 17 and 18 picked it back up to 6:50 pace.  At mile 19 I was depleted but crusied in at 7:00 pace.  Overall good LR.  I feel like with 9 16 plus LR since October I am prepared to race PHX.
