In search of old age PRs

Run from house up to the Avenues.  Great hill through cemetery on Center St.

1 mile warm up and cool down with track work at East High.  Ran 10 :60x:60.

Quick run around Liberty Park and back to the house.

Ran the Greek Festival 5K this morning.  The course  is very similar to the Race for the Cure course at Gateway in Salt Lake.  Not my best time, but I had a good 2 miles.  I believe the altitude got to me the last mile where a slowed down considerably.  After the race, I drove up to the Canyons to run with a friend of mine doing the Mid-Mountain marathon.  

Quick late night run around Liberty Park.

Speed work at East High.  1 mile warm up with 1 mile cool down.  Ladders at 5K pace 1/2/3/2/1 minutes with 1 minute jog in-between.  3 minute recovery then :15/:30/:45/:30/:15 with :30 jog in-between.

Run from House to Sugar House park and back.

Run with Coach Bills' group up Emigration canyon at 5 AM.  

Run around Sugar House park and Highland track while Elizabeth and Lucas played at the playground.  Included four 2 minutes 5K pace/2 minute jog tempo into the run.

Short run from the house up to Foothill via the park on 15th East.  

Speed work at East High School.  1 mile warm up and cool down with 14 x :60/:60.

Early morning miles from House to Liberty Park.

Run along the new Legacy Parkway trail with Coach Bill's group.  Early run at 5 AM, but nice sunrise.  I'm getting over a cold, so the run was a little slow, but it was good mileage.

1 mile warm up and cool down with 6 x 200 at East High track.  I did this run about 8:30 PM.  It was a little creepy, because two shadows in the bleachers watched me the entire time.

Quick run through the streets of Sugar House.

House to Sugar House Park.

Run in Golden, Colorado along the Golden Trail.  My GPS died early in the run, so the mileage is an estimate.  I stumble across a cool "dinosaur" trail next to a golf course.  Several large dinosaur tracks in the clay.  It was pretty neat.  The trail runs parallel to Hwy 6.

Speed work at East High late at night.  I arrived from Denver about 7 PM, then had dinner and went out to do speed work.  1 mile warm up with 8 x 400 with 200 recovery.  1.5 mile cool down.  First couple were hard because of the heavy dinner.  Tried out some new shoes-Asics Nimbus.  Comfortable shoes, but heavy and loud.

Easy, slow run with Coach Bill's St. George group on Jordan River Parkway.  Afterwards, we stopped at the "team's" massage therapist for bagels, motivation and stretching.  The St. George group seems to be in great shape.  They should all have a good race next weekend.

Speed work at East High School.  2.5 mile warm up with 1.5 mile cool down.  Speed was 7x200's.

Longer run from my house to Sugar House Park with a quick visit up Miller Park. 

I was in Tucson yesterday, so I drove the marathon course.  A few tough hills early and some rolling hills in the middle and at the end, but it looks fast with long stretches of downhill.  The drop is not as much as St. George, but it's spread out through the entire course.  The last 1/3 of the course is on 5 lane highway, so that will be an issue.
