LONG RUN

Matt and I couldn't make the long run work on Saturday so we decided to do it today. Matt had to meet at 4am!! We were surprised to see Reed at the soccer park too.

10 up past South Fork. 8 temp down (5:25 avg). 2 cool down. 

Felt OK. Hamstring is tight. I'm happy with the workout given last week's break.

Race: Hobble Creek Half Marathon (13.109 Miles) 01:08:40, Place overall: 5, Place in age division: 1

Hobble Creek half is always a fun, competitive race and this year didn't disappoint. Warmed up 2 miles with Matt, Reed and Jason. 

Dave Taylor took it out fast (about a 2:10 800m!) and Brett, Jason, Matt, John Coyle and I followed. Dave came back to us after the first mile. We stayed together for 2 miles and then we slowly started to string out. John had a stitch and pulled off to the bathrooms at 3 and I was alone, trailing Matt for most of the rest of the race.

I felt good but not great so I just went into cruise mode and tried to hold a good pace on my lonely way down the canyon. I held it together pretty well until the hill at 11 which beat me into a submissive 6:00 pace. After it flattened out I was able to get back up to speed and finish strong. 

Jacob Howell caught me at 11.5 and politely asked permission to run with me. He was encouraging and helped me through the next mile, after which I couldn't hang with him any more.

LONG run on the murdock canal with some of the BYU team/alumni: Ian, Wit, Sweed?, John Kotter and Matt. 5:57 avg. Locked in at 6 after 1/4 mile and stuck it the whole way. Last 4 miles were tough but I felt pretty good. Fun running with some very talented folks. My hamstrings were tight the last 10 miles and I hope I didn't overdo it. We'll see next week I guess.

TRACK WORKOUT

Lehi track with Mat, Trevor, Reed, Chris, Chad, and Jeff. 3 up, 2 down.

2 x 2m (10:24, 10:25) w/ 800m recovery at ~6 min pace (ouch)
1 x 1.5m (5:15, 2:40)

Ran out of gas on the last one and bailed early. Still happy with the workout. Matt powered through the whole thing and looked strong as always. Trevor is getting in shape fast and did most of it. Fun stuff.

PM - 5 easy
