Ran with the club, Steve H, Wildbull, Holt and Logan. They were just taking it easy today so I was able to hang with them without blowing a lung. Ran about the first 7 with them and then add to stop to use the bathroom and was there for awhile, thankfully I brought my ipod so I was able to have some music while I climbed up Snow Canyon. I absolutely love this run. My legs felt awesome and I really felt I was moving up it at a pretty good pace. Got to the top and started down the marathon course and I could see the guys up ahead and I felt great so I made a run at it to try to catch them, just as I was really starting to close the gap (mile 14) I had to stop for the bathroom again, but this time I had to trek off into the back country to find a spot where I could have some privacy. After that I stop I slowed down a little, starting to feel sick to my stomach, and i think i was dehydrated too. I was very happy with todays run, my legs felt incredibly fresh! (6:52,7:13,7:12, 6:36, 7:17, 7:14, 7:12) these were some of my faster miles, the last 7 of the run.

avg pace 7:50

Ok and I also vowed my would never do this but I am going to start posting my weight once a week to keep me accountable. (I ate too much junk last night so hopefully this will help me not to that during this training season!)

109.8lbs

Great workout! And you hit 70 miles! You can handle some junk food if you are running that much! 109.8 eh? Not 110, but 109.8! I should get a digital scale.

I like my digital one, its right on with the one at the gym and my dr's office.It does body fat too but I dont think that feature is accurate at all!

You are much braver than I am! I need the accountability but would never dare post my weight. Great splits on the last part! Have a great weekend!
