Life Liberty and the Pursuit of a Shiny Gold Medal

Once my legs got moving this night run was incredible. I was stuck in a car for 10 of the past 24 hours and it was mostly me driving. Salt lake trip to the medical examiner (just for remembrance). Dropped below 7 minute pace for the last 2.5ish and below 6 for the last mile. And that was up main street. I was hardly breathing. Very very exciting run although my form might need improving. Foot strike and knee lift seem off. No residual effect from weights.

5 in the morning and lifting.

6 in the night. Right foot started acting up in the usual place.

6.7 easy. Cody drive. Didn't kill myself on the hill, but kicked from a mile out with Bryan and dropped a solid sub 6. Now that I think about it I probably didn't do a full mile in the 5's Monday. Another mental breakthrough and a solid run.

6.5 miles easy. Foot started to hurt the last mile.

5 in the morning 5.5 in the afternoon. Easy. Foot didn't hurt.

6.25 easy in the morning. New route on the new trail. They've killed bridge. It's so sad. Foot didn't ache and I sprinted at the end and felt good. 

7.25 first 4 was on a field while I was playing ultimate frisbee. Last 3 was up in the neighborhood around the campsite in mountain green. Finished with a 1.3 mile tempo (I think I did four of these tempo things this week) started out at 6 minute pace but the average dropped out to 5:50 by the end. 

Long run ending in a 1.6ish mile tempo. Slow pace for the first half and picked it up as the run went along. 5:34 pace for the tempo. Right foot hurt in the usual place, but the pain was gone by the end of the run. Over 70 miles this week. It was stupid jump up in mileage but it worked so I'm happy. Definitely gonna need an easy week next week and then a couple more 70's.
