4/6/11 (Wednesday) Run

Today I ran 10 miles in 1:12:55.  Though I was supposed to run 10 miles, I tried something different based on a recommendation by Ed Eyestone.  He is a coach at BYU and has coached many athletes to first place finishes.  Anyway, after the warm-up I ran 6X1000 meter intervals at 9.5 mph.  I made it halfway through the 7th one before I had to back off.  Just one minute of recovery in-between each interval.  The goal was to do 12 of these intervals, but my legs were just too fatigued from Friday's and Saturday's activities.  I did well but now am a bit concerned for having rested legs for the race in 10 days.  I did finish the last 400 meters at 9.5 mph.
