Went to the Olympic Oval in Kearns with Matt, Scott, Toni. Met Jake, Andrea, Colin, Kevin and Kramer.

We decided to do 4 x 1M repeats with about 800m recovery. My splits: 5:11, 5:07, 5:13, 5:12. Jake, Kramer and Scott were about 4:50 ish. 4 mile warm up and about 2 cool down. Scott is back! Matt did a 4m tempo run as he had done mile repeats earlier in the week.

Felt good. The last one was tough. I was feeling Thursday's run a bit. It was super fun to be back on the track. It brought back some great memories. I hope to get a few more workouts like that in this winter!

That was a really good workout Mike. You're making some nice fitness jumps and the speed is coming around.

Strong work Mike. It's coming!
