3 - 2 - 1 workout this morning with Matt, Zak and Chad on the murdock trail. No wind, 20 degrees. 

3.5 up. 1.5 down.

3: (5:36, 5:18, 5:19) w/ 1/2 mile jog recovery
2: (5:15, 5:25) w/ 1/2 mile jog recovery
1: (4:58) 

Felt pretty good today. The first mile we ran through a 200m icy/crunchy snow span which slowed us down a bit. The 1st mile of the second interval included the murdock dip. Going up the hill at the end of that mile beat me up pretty good; it took a good 1/2 mile to recover and get back to pace. Good times.

3500 miles! That's impressive, Mike! You looked great this morning. Thanks for the company.

Nice work Mike! Now I know and can visualize what you mean by the Murdock dip, that would certainly take your breath away for a few minutes.

That's not nice placing the dip where you did ;).

Nice work! You guys have sure been lazy while I've been on vacation. So glad to know that you will be sluggish and slow when I get home :-)
