Up all night with sick kids. Slept in and ran at lunch time. I was going to do 15 but my left calf felt a little tight at 7 so I headed back early. 

Threw in 6x160 meter strides at the end. Felt good. (6:59 avg)

Met Scott, Toni and Dan for a run on the Jordan River trail. Plan was to do a long tempo at MP (7-8 miles).

3m warm up. 3m cooldown.

5m tempo. I only made it 4.5 at 5:42 pace. Effort was way harder than it should have been. The same thing happend on Saturday. I'm having trouble sleeping. I think I'm starting to exhibit some signs of early overtraining. Thankfully I don't have any injuries or tweaks...just fatigue.

I'm going to back off the rest of this week and hopefully pick up the pieces next week and try and salvage what I can of SLC on the 20th.

Met Scott and Reed for an easy run on the Murdock trail. It was painful to turn back half way out...

Perfect Saturday morning. Great group, good workout, perfect weather. I couldn't really ask for more. To name a few: Scott, Toni, Brandon, Reed, Dave, Melody, Chris... and more!

2 out n' backs. One on the Murdock trail to the north. One up Provo canyon.

First leg was pretty easy pace, I think we averaged 7s for the first 10. The next 2 were 6:45 and 6:30. Then Scott and I upped the pace for the next 3 ( 6:13, 6:05, 6:12 ), these were into the wind and slightly uphill so the effort was pretty close to my MP so I'll call them MP miles. 

We waited for a minute or the so at the top to regroup with Brandon and Reed and then started down. Scott said 5:20s. I thought he was joking. He wasn't. Next 3 (5:19, 5:19, 5:18). I started to feel it after 3 so I backed off for a 1/4 mile. Next two were 5:50, 5:45. 

It was a good workout. Legs were pretty fresh after 3 days off but I still wasn't feeling 100%. I think I'm out of the hole, just need to be careful the next 2 weeks and avoid digging a new hole.

1.25 miles of grass loops slow for  a cooldown. 

Brandon and Reed looked super strong today. Scott was a monster, as usual. Dan ran 20 miles!
