A.M. Long run along the Jordan River Parkway Trail
This was pretty solid run, but I don't have HR data because I forgot my chest strap. I ran with AdamRW. We started out very slow with the first couple of miles averaging just under 10 minute pace and then settled into ~8 min/mi until the turn around point at 5.5 miles. We picked it up a little on the way back, running 7:35/mi, which was still very conversational. Adam called it good at 11 because he is coming back from injury. I continued on for another four but spent the first mile or so warming back up because I stopped and talked too long. The final 3 miles for me were 7:46, 7:33, and 7:23. My legs were definitely depleted by the end, but that's what I wanted and I still finished strong.
Overall this was a good week. I got in every planned run and put in a lot of work. I feel healthy and am free of injury. It looks like I may have dropped a couple of pounds this week which is good because I need to lose 10+ more. This was my 3rd week of my planned 6 week base phase so I'm half way through.
