Snuck out early to get in a run. Usually not a big fan of running on Sunday but when I do run I try to reflect on how to be a better husband and father, and things I can do better in my life. Sort of sets the light for my Sunday meetings. With that said....

Workout today wasnt going to be fancy, goal today was to hit 15 miles maybe throw in 5 miles around 6 min pace. So I took the warm up nice and easy and got in 4.6 miles. Started my tempo and when things got going I felt relaxed and just went mile by mile. After 5 miles around 5:50 pace I told myself I will go to 8 miles, once 8 miles came I just did 10 miles. Avg pace for tempo was 5:48 min/miles. 

Overall I take this to the bank and call it a good deposit. Didnt feel like I was overworking and felt like there will be no setbacks. Good mental and fitness booster

cooled just short of a mile back home.

From the pond to do the traditional Monday Funday route. Ran with Kenneth, Kenver(Denver's new name) and Jonny Boy.

avg pace 7:11 min/miles

After the run I enjoyed watching the Boston Marathon at work, where I was basically worthless for 2 and 1/2 hours.

Congrats to Scott Keate and Fritz Vandekamp for there accomplishments, looked like a brutal day with wind and rain.

Met Jon at Lee's Market in North Ogden. Did a little over 2 miles with some strides for warmup. 

Workout

8 mile Aerobic Builder. Goal pace was 5:30 avg. I was 5:32 avg. Jon was right there with a 5:33 avg.

Very happy with the workout coming off of a 10 mile tempo 2 days ago and to come back and hit 8 miles in 5:32 is great. To be honest I was hoping just to get in 5 miles of tempo today.

1 mile cooldown.

P.M.

3 miles Easy, Then 2 hours of Basketball

Solid 3-2-1 breakdown. Woke up around 7am and headed out the door at 730. Goal today was to hit a 3 mile warm, 3 mile tempo, 3 mile cool, 2 mile tempo, 2 mile cool, 1 mile hard, and cool down for the rest of the run

splits were 5:35, 5:37, 5:34. 2 mile- 5:28, 5:25, 1 mile- 5:08

avg pace for run was 6:24 min/miles.

Interesting perspective on the last 3 weeks of running. I base my mileage off of Strava.

The last 3 weeks I have hit the exact mileag of 80.7 miles a week. One thing I noticed was a the down trend on running time. 3 weeks ago I ran 80.7 miles in 10 h 13 m, 2 weeks ago, 9 h 49 min and this week 9 h 22 min.

Almost 1 hour off total run time. I feel my fitness level is coming back fine and my body is handling the mileage great. Hopefully this down trend in minutes and miles will continue.

On to the next week
