Week's Summary
This was a pretty uneventful week to say the least. I did manage to get in 1.5 speed workouts though. The one on Tuesday, I held back a bit on account that I wanted to be somewhat fresh for the half marathon. With the week's temperatures being fairly reasonable for mid-June, I also got in a tempo run on Thursday, which I ran at a comfortable hard pace.
My overall volume for the week was pretty average -- maybe down a few miles than usual. Again, I wanted to come in fresh for the half marathon. I also got in some decent cross training / preparation for my trail half marathon at the end of July by hiking 10 miles on Sunday. Being that I don't have a marathon on the near horizon, I can afford to try and get by during these dreadful hot weeks.
Friday's Half Marathon
This Friday I am doing the Provo Midnight Half Marathon. This race starts at 10 PM but it will still be somewhat hot out. I am hoping my legs will have recovered from the Lamoille Canyon half. I was able to run with some soreness on Sunday, but Monday it seems almost worse. That is usually a fact of the matter after running a course with nearly 3000 feet of elevation drop.
I don't have any time goals, other than to not blow up from the heat and try to run as evenly as possible. I always enjoy the race as it gives me an opportunity to stay out late and do something a little different.
