Journey from 238.5 lbs to 2:38:30

Went out North on the JRT and it is now fenced off just north of Olympic park, north of 1500 North in Lehi due to bridge construction.  Will be closed until fall of 2011.  So headed south on the JRT and tried to keep the pace up.  I thought I was running fast, but would look at the watch and see that I wasn't going as fast as I thought I was.  I ended up the same pace I had for the half on Saturday.  7:09.  splits of 7:47, 7:17, 6:51, 7:08, 7:07, 7:05, 6:54, 7:00.  With the average heart rate of 152.  At least the heart rate came down 8 beats from the run saturday.  I was hoping to keep the heart rate at 165, but didn't come close.  Maybe next time.

Ran south on the JRT for some easy miles. averaged 8:05 over the six miles.

Ran with Sasha and Jeff on the PRT.  Thanks for the advice and conversation, makes the 10 miles go by very quickly.  my max heart rate hit 186 on a half mile pickup of around 5:40 pace.  Very nice run, though a little on the slow side for the full pace.

Ran the PRT with Sasha and Jeff.  Another glorious day for a run.  Averaged 7:43 over the 15 miles.  We did 2 1.5 mile exertions.  I did a 9:22 on the 2nd mile and a half which pushed the heart rate to 180.  Felt pretty good, but knew I had burned through a lot of fuel on those 3 miles and at mile 13 I hit glycogen depletion and bonked the last two miles.
