Did intervals at the BYU indoor track today.  Each interval was one long lap (~320 m), each rest period was one short lap (~225 m).  My goal was to run each interval at a 7:30 pace (1:30 per long lap.)  Actual interval times were: 1:28, 1:28, 1:26, 1:23, 1:24, 1:23, 1:24, 1:24.  My recovery times were all around 1:35.

Did five on the treadmill after work.  Had a one mile warmup and one mile cooldown and ran the middle three at a 7:54 pace (7.6 mph).  Total time was 42:58 (8:24 avg pace)

Ran west from Novell past Footprinters Park, out to Center Street and then west to the Subway (2000 west).  Looped back to Novell for a total of eight miles.  I did stop at the park for drink breaks on the way out and the way back, but didn't include that time in what's listed below.

Finished the eight miles in 69:53 (8:44 avg).  Split times were 9:02, 8:51, 9:00, 8:51, 8:27, 8:29, 8:16, 8:56.

Ran the Art City Days 5k in the morning with my family. I ran with my 8 year old daughter and had a great time.  Only thing I would change is arriving on time - We arrived about five minutes after the start gun had sounded.  We stayed for the prize drawing and my daughter won a Kindle.  She's been reading all weekend. :)

Later that afternoon I ran 7.15 miles in 63:11 (8:50 avg).  Splits were 8:56, 8:57, 9:01, 8:52, 8:53, 8:23, 8:53, 1:15 (.15 mi).   It felt kind of hot (78 degrees), but wasn't too bad.  I hope the WBR doesn't get any warmer than that.
