One of those mornings where the legs and mind are both on the same page. Both didn't want to run today. Forced it for about 4 miles and then started feeling better and sped up quite a bit. Ran down Wasatch to the trail that leads to the retention pond below the canyon and then back up.

Ran the 'outside the canyon' section of the Big Cottonwood Marathon course with Baptiste. Out and back on Wasatch is much better than last year but still no walk in the park. Then ran down to the finish area on Fort Union Blvd and back up to the parking lot at the mouth of the canyon.

Ran with my neighbor, did a couple of hard pushes into the 6:20 range for a total of 1 mile. Ended up running 7 miles in the same time it took the neighbor to complete 6. Felt nice to run since I have been super sick/congested the last several days. Still a bit stuffed up, but overall feeling much better. Also, 0 hip pain still. Super happy about that.

Was going to go to LCC and run a few hill repeats up the big hill at the mouth, the wind was almost unbearable. Felt like it was slowing me down over a minute per mile. Just ended up doing 1 time up and then back down and around the neighborhood.

Didn't really plan to have a 3 mile tempo, but with the gradual down for 2 of it I just decided to roll with it for a bit. The last mile was flat and slightly uphill on 6200 S. Felt decent. The last few miles of climbing were alright as well. Fall is definitely in the air. It was in the 40's during the run and I had the crist smell of leaves the whole time.

My neighbor told me he wanted to go at 6:00 AM so we could do a longer run. I got to his house and he tells me he wants to do 10 miles. In my head I thought, this is going to take forever! but I just went along with it and he actually kept a little bit quicker pace for the first 2 miles. During which he explained that he wanted to get faster. I nearly shed a tear because I have been dying running slow with him. Well around mile 3 he just decided to run slow again. No explanation, just about 1 min per mile slower. So I did my usual thing and ran in and out of cul de sacs and added mileage wherever I could or I would run ahead and then back track to find him. In the end I added 2 extra miles in the same time he did his 10. My 12 miles were slower than I care to admit, but 12 miles is still 12 miles. Right?
On a better note, I registered for Boston 2016 when I got back from the run! Hope I make it in.

Warmed up by running 2.25 to the Brighton High track. Then did 8 x 400m. Had a 200m break in between. Was the first track workout for my neighbor and took it pretty easy to stay with him. First one was slow, then we had some decent pace for the middle 6, and then a quick one to finish off the 8th. Felt great to be back on a track. Will start throwing in a few of these here and there to keep some speed work in the rotation. Then ran the 2.25 back to the house and continued to do some loops in the neighborhood while I waited for my neighbor to make it back up Bengal Blvd.

Strolled through the neighborhood nice and easy. Neighbor bailed on me last minute and I didn't have my phone on me so I sat outside his house for a bit and then decided to just run a couple of laps around the block to give him time to get out, never came. Got home to a text that said he was going to bail because he was too tired.

Got out 15 min before my neighbor so I did 2 miles solo. Then met up and did a 2 mile warm up with him before beginning a little 'speed' workout for him. Did .5 at about 8:30 then slowed back to his normal pace of around 10:50. Did 4 of those and progressively got faster during the speed portions and slower during the recovery portions. Tried to explain to him that he needs to push the recovery sections so stay at his normal pace. He was huffing and puffing at the time I told him so he didn't really care .
Got home and my email from Boston informed me that I missed the cutoff by 15 seconds. Super Bummer:(
