I ran the Mount Loafer loop this morning, probably the last time I will run it now that the marathon is just around the corner. I felt really good this morning and I had the best time going up and coming down the canyon, I didn't go all the way to the gate I only wanted to do 6 miles this morning so once I hit my 3 mile mark I turned and ran back down. My splits going up, and keep in mind this canyon is pretty steep, went as follows; 9:13(151), 9:12(149), 9:34(160) this mile was the steepest. Usually these three miles are all over 10 minutes so I was very pleased with them, I then did 3 miles at marathon pace and those went as follows;8:05(136), 7:44(140), 7:30(151) I felt like I was holding back on all of these so that was really cool. My hip felt really good going up and I could only feel it slightly on the way down, just enough to know it was there and considering how it felt yesterday this is a really good sign, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. My average pace was 8:33 with my heart rate at 148 and total time was 52:24 I then finished up with some strength training on my upper body...
Thats about it for today, feel pretty good today so I will try and remember this one.
See ya tomorrow.
