6:04am, Suncrest Loop.  Strong headwind going up the backside but came down the front much faster than I thought I had in me.

 5:44, 5:16, 5:33 mile spits coming down.  Now I just need to do that for another 23 miles

12:05pm.  Just flew in from San Fran, Ran down to Bull river path, ran 6 6x1600's back and forth on trail 3 times.  Burned out on first split since this was my first time running 1600's and didn't realize I can't run 1 mile at 5:30 pace.  Had a strong headwind coming back so 1/2 of my splits where barely below 6:00 pace.

 Overall not a great run, didn't feel real good and had stomach problems.  Attribute it to 3 weeks of travel.

Decided since this was a recovery day I would swim instead.  1 1/2 miles in 1 hour.  Big run tomorrow and needed to get some new legs.

5:26am Last 20+ miler until Ogden marathon.  I started at the Maverik (so I wouldn't have to climb back up the hill to my house after 22 miles of running) ran out Center street to Utah lake, cut up to Redwood road, back north past Camp Williams (not a fun hill) and out to Bluffdale.  Back to freeway frontage road, realized I had errored in my route and had to have my wife come rescue me so I could make it to soccer games at 9:00am.

Averaged 7.02 min/mile which was slower than I wanted but not bad considering wind and hills.

5:05am Medium/Long run.  Suppose to be a 14 miler but I ran out of time and cut it to 13.  Started at 6:40 pace, slowly increased to 6:19.  Average 6:31.

5:19am.  Recovery run w/speed.  Tried to keep HR under 140 for first 6 miles, I think 2 weeks at sea level has taken it's toll.  Average HR 145 at 6:40 pace, and then finished run with 6 x 100's 4:58, 4:55, 4:52, 4:49, 4:48, 4:46. pace.  Legs where a little shaky at that speed but I pushed through it.

Did a 1/2 hour of leg strength training and core exercises.

5:00am.  Pure Recovery day, feel like I am finally starting to get over jetlag.  Legs are feeling good after my run.  Was going to run 8 miles but decided to cut it to 6 and take a 30min swim.  (always good on a recovery day)  6:24 average pace, ran last mile at 5:39 (just because I felt good).  Good 3/4mile swim.

According to my schedule today was a "10 mile tune up race" day.  Well I searched all over the internet and couldn't find a singe 10 mile race going on a 5:00am this morning so in regular fashion I hit the gym.  My plan was to just run a pretty fast 10 mile run at about 6:10 min/mil pace.  About 2 miles into it I decided it would be fun to do 3x5K's instead since I hadn't ran 5k strides in a while.  My first one was kind of slow since I didn't decide to run 5K's until 2 miles into it.  I did it in 21:30,  I took a 2 minute break and then ran my second one in 19:22.  Looking back through my Garmin logs the last time I did a 5K run was back in Dec. 21st of last year in 19:38 so not to shabby.  I decided to go all out on my last one and try for an 18:00.  My math was a little bit off and even at a 5:30 pace for the last mile I ended up at 18:12.  By far my fastest 5K time.

 Legs feel pretty good, hope I have the legs to do my last long run of the schedule tomorrow, 18 miles over SunCrest.
