Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
5.00	15.00	20.00

Real strong workout this morning. 2.5 mile warm-up, 15 mile AB, 2.5 cool-down. AP for 15 miles was 5:26.73. Mile splits were: 5:22, :23, :33, :27, :25, :28, :28, :27, :33, :22, :25, :18, :30, :35, :25. I ended at the same place I started so it was an honest course. It's amazing the difference a few days can make. I felt really good and my legs felt pretty good.

Afterwards I used a certificate I had won at that small St. Patty's day race to get some Positional Release Therapy (PRT) done on my piriformis. It was interesting. So far I feel like it may have helped. Time will tell.

Great workout! Looks like you are definitely in sub 2:30 shape. Probably well under. Keep up the great work!

Very good run. I agree with Derek, you're likely well under 2:30 shape.

From Steve Shepherd on Wed, Apr 09, 2014 at 09:23:08 from 168.180.136.153

Thanks guys! To be honest at this point I am hoping to go under 2:25. But as you know, to have a great race things have to line up just right. There are just so many factors.

Impressive! You are looking very strong. I think sub-2:25 for Ogden is more than realistic for you.
