The goal this morning was to simply run for 1:05:00. I chose to do a loop that had a nice little trail segment on it, it was great! A lot of hills, so it was kinda slow, but I wasn't to worried about it. Tomorrow is the day to go fast.

Tempo run Tuesday. I ran 6 miles up to vivian park, then 6 down the trail, back to the care and hurried over to work. 

The pace was 5:36, which was pretty good. I think I started a little bit too fast, my first mile was 5:35, then 5:29, then 5:31. The last three miles I kept 5:40 or faster, but they hurt a bit more. I think was the most frustrating thing was that I was having some stomach cramps and a little bit of that throw up feeling. The frustrating part was just the fact that I felt like my legs and lungs could go faster. Part of the problem might be lack of sleep, and maybe just because I ate a little costco roll on my way to the park. I don't think it will be as big an issue during the marathon, but I want to be sure that I can run at my best.

Good workout this morning! It was fun to have my friend Robert come out and join me for 4 of the 6 mile repeats. The goal pace was 5:20, and my splits were: 5.21, 5.19, 5.19, 5.20, 5.21, 5.17

Really pleased with the workout, it was smooth and felt very controlled. Good things coming

Did a trail race at sundance super last minute today, it was a blast. The most beautiful race I've ever done, and one of the most beautiful runs period that I've ever been on. I took second overall, and I won a bar of soap, but not just any soap, hand made soap, now that's fancy! haha. They took forever with the awards though, so I didn't get in as many total miles as I would have liked.
