TRACK WORKOUT

Met Matt, Scott, Chris, Reed and Toni at the track on a very windy, rainy, chilly morning. 4 up including a couple laps of straight aways. 

3x2m (10:38, 10:28, 10:26) w/ 800m jogging recovery

Switched off every 800m with Matt. The wind was brutal and made the effort much harder. I'm happy with the pace given the conditions. Scott did a few fast 800s and looked sharp. Everyone had a good workout.

TRACK WORKOUT

Met Matt, Toni and Chris at the Lehi track. 5 up,  including 2 laps of straight-aways.

6x800m (2:24, 2:20, 2:21, 2:19, 2:20, 2:15) w/ 1 lap jogging recovery.

No wind. A little chilly (33). My stomach was still a little upset but otherwise I felt really strong, probably because I haven't done a workout in a week! Matt and I took turns leading. He said he felt a littel tired but he looked strong as always. 1+ cooldown. 

PM: 5 easy on the murdock trail. 70 degrees! I almost cried.

Provo River Trail with a big group. 10 up to a little past south fork.

10 miles @ MP effort down the canyon (5:21 avg).

I was hoping for a little faster but the effort was right for the day, well under the red-line. Ran with Matt the whole way. I felt good today, but not great.  1 more mile of grass loops with Matt, Scott and Brandon, I then hurried over to Lakeridge Jr. High to run a 5K with my son, Ezra. He ran 23:50, a big PR for him. The first 1/4 mile were complete torture but the rest was a blast.

I was pretty disappointed with this race. I felt sluggish. I followed Steve and Matt through the first 2 hilly miles and then some fast downhill miles (3-6) that put me in early trouble. I let them go while heading down city creek. I passed Matt around mile 7, he was having a nasty GI day. I was at 5:15 avg through mile 9 but then the wheels really came off and I crawled in. Scott ran with me nearly the whole way, thanks Scott! He was hoping for a good workout but I think he was bored with how slow my last few miles were :(.

5 miles cool down with Steve, Ben and Scott on the bark chips around Liberty Park.

Fritz won the marathon in 2:28 on a hobby jogger's training load. He's a machine.

Long run with Matt on the Jordan River trail. 1 up, 1 down.

18 miles at ~6:00/mile. 

Felt kind of crappy the first 8. The last 10 I felt really good. It poured rain the last 10 miles. I haven't done much of this kind of running. I really liked it. I think I'll incorporate more long "tinman" tempos into my training.

4 x 0.5M (2:19, 2:22, 2:23, 2:19) w/3 minutes rest.

Garmin was juding the distance so it wasn't perfect but I got what I wanted. Felt good.
