Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
3.80	8.25	12.05

Early meeting at work this morning meant another evening run. Decided to try and do a true 8 mile aerobic builder at aerobic threshold rather than more of an 8 mile tempo at close to lactic threshold like I have been doing. First I did a 2 mile warm-up with strides. Target pace was 5:30 and I felt like I was holding back the whole run until the last .25 miles when I let loose. Mile splits were: 5:26, 5:23, 5:27, 5:28, 5:25, 5:25, 5:28, 5:11. Last .25 was in 70 seconds. Then I did a 2.05 mile cool down.

I felt strong and controlled. It's good to know that I can run that pace fairly easily.

Kinvara 4 Miles: 12.05

Nicely done Steve! You running Top of Utah Half or just the two marathons you have listed on here?

Thanks Riley. I'm registered for the top of utah half. I'm not sure if I'll be racing it or running it as a workout for circuit points. It just depends on how I recover from the Skyline Marathon this weekend.
