Easy recovery miles on the treadmill. 
Legs felt beat up at the start but much better towards the end.

I had to work late last night and early this morning for a sales demo (lame) so I missed the group workout this morning. I headed to the gym for lunch.

The warm up felt good so I decided to throw down some speed. It went like this:

 

  • 4m warm up
  • 1m @ 12.5 (4:48) 
  • 1/4m @ 6 (2:30)
  • 1m @ 12.5: (4:48)
  • 1/4m @ 6 (2:30)
  • 1/2m @ 12.6 (2:22) 
  • 1/4m @ 6 (2:30)
  • 1/2m @ 13.5 (2:13)
  • 2.25m cool down 

I wanted to do 3x1 mile but it wasn't happening at that pace. Cut down to 2 halves. The last one was inspired by Scott and...it was hard.

10 blissful easy miles in a balmy 25 degrees with Scott, Matt and Spencer. I've never been so happy to run in 25 degree weather.

Met Spencer at 11am for a long run. It was a pleasant 38°. Spencer dragged me all over northern Utah County. First 18 were great. Last 4 were rough, didn't bring anything to eat and I felt very depleted at the end. 

Spencer threw in the "mother", a really big hill at mile 21. Had I the energy I would have poked him in the eye. Good times.
