Crappy day at work yesterday, crappy night sleep last night, crappy 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer in the hotel gym. 

I was just peddling along on the elliptical trainer at 5:00 am, when all of a sudden I had an "Ah Hah" moment, ran upstairs took a quick shower, got dressed, ran over to the Salt Palace and fixed all lifes problems before the day even got started.  Hopefully today goes much better.

9 mile progressive in 58:12  6:28 avg pace.

The point of these runs is to get faster, but I seem to end up just doing the same run every morning.  I  get to that 6:00 pace and start feeling sick and can't force myself to go any faster.  I need to eat better and get a job with less stress I think.

A bit more aggressive progressive run than normal.  Started at 7:00 pace and bumped it up .2 mph every 1/2 mile, ended at 5:20 pace for the final 1/2.  Funny how the Wendys frosty from last night seems to know exactly when I hit 6:00 pace.

 7 miles in 43:10  6:09 avg.

8 miles in 54:42 6:50 avg pace,  Ran slow until some guy decided to come and race me on the treadmill next to me.  I'm pretty sure I won.

Guess what I did this morning?  Yep, a 9 mile progressive run.  Started at 6:40 pace instead of 7:00 bumped it up .1 mph every 1/2, finished at 5:30 pace.  When I hit 9 miles right at 55 minutes I thought to myself, "all I need to do it run 1 mile in 5 to go 10 in 1 hour" then I thought "nah, that ain't happening" and pushed the big red button.

9 miles in 55:00 6:06 avg pace.

The finish line for the SoJo marathon was setting up right across the street from Lifetime this morning.  I thought, boy that would have been nice, I could have finished the race and came across the street and took a shower and sat in the hot tub.  I'm pretty upset I didn't just run the SoJo with Kurt today instead of St. George but instead I'm sitting at the airport waiting for a plane to fly me to San Francisco.  On the plus side this is my bi-annual trip where I get to run on my favorite trail.  Sawyer Camp trail, so I'm pretty excited about that.  Last time I ran it I had a stress fracture and didn't enjoy it at all.
