Ran up to South Fork from Palisades with Scott, just in time for the start of the Provo City Half.

Joined Riley for the first 1.5 miles and then backed it off to a more manageable pace. Felt good for 4 and then started to feel that deep fatigue. Darn marathons! Went 2 more and then shut things down.

5:18 avg for the 6. I had auto lapped turned off on my watch so I didn't get the splits.

Track Workout!

Met a big group at the track at 5am (Matt, Scott, Trevor, Jeff, Kyle, and Ryan!). 4 up + 2 laps of striders.

10x400m with 400m jogging recovery (about 2 minutes).

Splits: 1:09, 1:11, 1:08, 1:10, 1:08, 1:06, 1:07, 1:06, 1:07, 1:00

Lovely morning. Slight breeze, overcast, but no rain. Perfect temps. Felt good. Full recovery was nice.

LONG RUN + threshold 3-2-1.

Met Matt, Scott and Zak for a 6 mile warm up to the tempo loop where I reluctantly sent them on their way and got down to business. 

3m (5:36, 5:24, 5:27) w/ .5 jogging rest
2m (5:21, 5:20) w/ .5 jogging rest + a gu and some water
1m (5:07)

There was a slight north-west headwind but otherwise perfect conditions. I felt a little sluggish, probably residual from Wednesday's system shock. 7 slow miles back home.

4 down. Felt kind of blaaaa today.

Met, Reed and few other nutters out for an early morning Murdock run.

Matt wanted to do 15 miles at MP. I wanted to throw in some tempo. Splits: 5:26, 5:20, 5:20. 5:15.

 

Felt good. Ran the last few with Matt, who's fitness it building fast!

Jordan River Trail with Matt, Chad, Chris and Reed. Felt like garbage. Threw in a few faster miles near the end to shake out the cobwebs from a week off (5:35, 5:19).
