Morning: 16.09 in 2:09:37. Ave pace of 8:03

Started at about 7:00 at the base of the Provo Canyon and ran up 8 miles and back down.  Weather was ok, but it needs to get warmer.  I didn’t care how long it took me to get up the canyon as I was only focused on trying to hit MP on the way down (I was looking for the downhill to help me keep the pace up).  Hit the 8 mile mark at 1:11:17, and then turned around.  Splits for the next 8 were:

Felt good about things.  Obviously the downhill helped with the pace.  About mile 12 my legs got heavy.  I still think the marathon is affecting them.  More than anything, the faster miles helped me feel better about being able to sustain a 7:15 marathon pace.

Early afternoon: 4.13 on the TM after lifting for an hour.

Nice pace on your way down the canyon. Good luck with the 3:10 goal in 2009.

I'm also an Accountant working as a controller and will be out of a job soon. Let me know if you hear of anything.

Thank Terry. I'll certainly let you know if I hear of anything, although most openings I hear about are probably below your level.

By the way, you're a very good runner. I believe I ran with you and Tom Lee for the first 6 miles or so of the Provo half a couple of weeks ago. Then you broke away from us and steadily built your lead.

Those are some wicked splits. Ogden is almost here...you totally have it.
