| 10.01 mile in 1:20: a 8:02 average. This was my first speed work of the year. I hope I didn't over do it. The plan was to run 10 800's with a 400 (rest same time as the 800) inbetween. This is how it went 1.46 miles in 11:26 warm up 800 times are 2:55, 2:57, 3:03, 2:57, 3:02, 3:04, 3:04, 3:04, 3:03, 3:10 400 times (rest recovery lap) 2:25, 2:28, 2:44, 2:54, 3:54 (500), 4:50, 3:06, 3:02, 3:09 1.1 miles cool down to finish out the 10 miles I think it was a pretty good workout and I was able to maintain the pace until the last 800. I felt like I was about to day after the 7th and spent a little long on the recovery lap. The first few recovery laps were to fast |

| Saturday long run. 20 miles in 3:35:51 a 7:44 average The run felt pretty good but I was pushing and ready to be done by the time I crossed the finish line. The course was a three lap course. The laps were 7.5, 6.5 and 6.0 to add up to 20 miles. Each lap I has 250 feet of elevation gain and loss. Pretty tough course. Two things of interest is about mile 13 the Garmin Beaped and said low charge. So I was hoping I didn't run out of charge before Run. The other thing that happened at about 18 mile this dog comes out wanting to play. Doesn't bite my jumps on me. Dogs are not my friend
Mile splits are 8:07, 7:35, 7:38, 7:32, 7:15, 7:15, 7:53, 7:46, 7:16, 7:45, 8:08, 8:19, 7:47, 7:14, 8:05, 8:22, 7:42, 7:22, 7:40, 8:09, 0:56 (7:21 average)

I ran the Striders 30K, this is the first race of the year. Coming into the race I had a two goals, See where my fitness level is and see what a good marathon pace would be like. The other think I wanted to find out is what the first half of the Ogden Marathon is like. Nine miles of the course is on the first half of the marathon's course.
I got up early and drove to the start. At the start it is raining lightly, no wind. The conditions stay the same throughout the race.
At the start I start and settle into a confortable pace (to fast) By mile 2 I have settled into a group of about 5 runners. I would run with this group for until about mile 14 when they pull away from me. At the nine mile 3 mile aid station I get a drink and grab a GU and put it in my pocket. I end up using the GU at the mile 6 aid station (They don't give GU's out there)
Mile 7, 8 and 9 feel like a gradual hill that just doesn't quit. a Little after the Nine mile we turn onto the marathon course and start going down hill. I feel pretty good and thought I could hold a 7 minute mile down the hill. I was trying to gain on the group infront of me but I don't seem to gain or lose on them. I take a GU at mile 12 and then continue to try to maintain a 7 minute mile but am failing. I got a drink at mile 15 and my legs are feeling like I have bricks for feet. At this point the group of runners have pulled away from me. Now I am all by myself can't see anyone infront of me and there is a big gap behind me. At mile 18 some one catches me and I don't put much of an effort to stay with him. I am able to speed up for the last .69 miles to finish. The guy only beats me by about 20 feet. The next I finished a minute and a half infront of the next runner.
