Decided to try something new today.  I went down to Highland Drive and just started running.  I had my ID card with me so after I went about 7 miles, I caught the bus and came back.  It was a pretty sweet deal!

Went the Hogle Zoo route today.  Ended up being longer because it was from my house.  Still feeling some pain in my IT band and legs.

Legs are still feeling a bit tired this week.  I was going to go six but I got back to the school at 5.5 and decided to just stop.  No big deal.

50 minutes on the stairmaster today.  I don't like cross training on that thing because it's hard.  The elliptical is easy... Guess that's my lazy talk comin out.

I ran 8 miles South on Highland Drive and back.  Actually when I got to 7000 South there was a massive monster hill that I didn't want to climb so I went east for about a half a mile.  My AP was about 7:50.  I figured I would keep this one slower.  I have run this distance before but it was at about a 7:10 pace so I think this run helped me because I was on my feet for a longer period of time.  I ended up running for nearly 2:10 and that's the longest amount of time I have ever run.

I had to make a bathroom stop at Subway.  That's what's nice about Highland Drive.  There is a bathroom basically everywhere.  I actually used my fuel belt on this one.  I brought two little bottles of water (belt holds 4), a GU, and 2 endurolyte capsules.  I took the first capsule at about 4 miles and had the GU at 7.  That tasted really gross btw.  It was the Lemon Lime GU.  I then took my 2nd endurolyte pill at mile 12.  I noticed that I was sweating a lot of salt (as I usually do) and my legs were getting pretty fatigued.  I think I could have used more endurolytes for this one.  The amount of water was about right as I finished it off before I got home.  

Last time I ran 16 I didn't have any fuel or endurolytes but it was also still in the winter time so I didn't really sweat much.  The temp was pretty cool out today but it was warm enough for perspiration.  Felt good to get my long run out of the way.  Thanks to BB for idea to do the long run today instead of tomorrow.  Tomorrow I commission in the AF as a 2nd Lt so it's a pretty exciting time.  Next week I plan to do 18 and then 20 the week after.  From there I will start to taper to the race.  We'll see how it goes.

Ran twice around the perimeter of Sugar House Park.  My legs were feeling pretty tired from yesterday but I managed to maintain a 7:30 AP.  I commission into the Air Force today as a 2nd Lieutenant.  What better way to start such a glorious day??
