I wwent a little faster than my goal pace of 3:05 but I felt good throughout and at the end. I only did the minimum slow miles so that I don't go too far over 40 miles for the week. I stay on 40 miles for 2 more weeks then bump up to 45.

I went camping in central Utah (Boulder Mountain) over the weekend. The entire plateau is at 10,000 ft. I was excited to get some good trail running in, but this run turned into somewhat of an overland run. It was beautiful but not much trail to follow. The woods are sparse and there are a lot of meadows so it wasn't too bad. Just a little rough on the ankles.

I decided to stick to a graded dirt road for this run. The road had a lot of rolling hills and at 10,000 ft the hills were tough. My total elevation gain was 1000 ft. For the last 3 miles I sped up.
