Finally got back out again today, my travel schedule has me very busy, but it has been fun.  I lousy the first 2 miles, but really good for the last 3.  Hopefully my week will look better than the last 2 days.

Maybe a bit too much to drink last night, but at least I got out for a decent run this morning.  After starting a little sluggish, I actually felt pretty good for the last 6 miles of the run.  I am hoping to get out this evening, but I would not bet on it.  San Fran is a beautiful city to run it, nice and cool and stunning views.

After a brief warm-up around Sugar House park, I did a three mile tempo run with Ian. I wanted to run conservative and put a goal of running about 5:50's. It was pretty hot, we ran at 3:30 this afternoon. We came through the first mile 5:43, it was comfortable, mile 2 5:50, and mile 3 in 5:51. The heat got to me towards the end, but overall I was not that tired at the end. I am still struggling a little with some motivation, but I am glad to have gotten some quality in this week. After talking to Bill tonight he has convinced me to run the 10 miler tomorrow with him, we are planning a marathon pace effort - should be interesting - I do not think I will have too many ill effects from today's tempo.

The plan was to go out and run around 6:10 pace and just relax for the race. Bill and I put a plan together to run with each other throughout the race. I wanted to do some marathon pace work today and figured this pace was about right. The first 2 miles are uphill with the second being a pretty aggressive climb. We came through the first mile in 6:40 - felt very easy, and the second through in 7:21 - again very easy. There was a group of 5 of us running together and that continued through 6.5 miles. Braden was running with us and occasionally I would drop back and pull him back into our group, he finally fell off the pace at 6.5. Bill picked up the pace a bit around mile 6, and we continued to get a little faster each mile until the end. As soon as Bill picked up the pace our little group fell apart and Bill and I ran in together. There were a couple sections I felt the pace was a little quick, but I did not feel taxed at any given point. I am pleased with performance and I accomplished the goals I set for today.
