Hilly 10k loop.  Beautiful day for a run.

Did an out and back up Mill Creek Canyon.  Decent workout. Heading up the canyon is lots of fun and then worked on turnover on the way down.  Did a mile and then a half mile at threshold pace on the way down.  Here is the elevation profile and splits.

Ran with James at the Cottonwood track.  He was doing some mile repeats at my goal pace for the upcoming half marathon and was nice enough to let me tag along.  I think we were close to 6 minute pace for the first two and the last one was slightly faster. A good run for me as I need to get comfortable at that pace.  

Looking forward to taking it easy for a couple of days now.  

Easy longer run for me today. Ran about half with James and Tyler.  Very nice morning, until I got home and put my legs in the ice bucket.

Easy 4 miles.  Will likely do a 5 mile tempo tomorrow morning at goal HM pace. 

Decided to do the tempo at the Cottonwood track instead of up on Wasatch.

Warmed up for 1.25 and then got right into the 4k tempo.  

First 1600 was right at 6 minute pace and the last one at 5:50.  Average pace of 5:56. There was a little breeze on the backstretch that made things fun. Overall 10 laps at a good clip.

I can tell my body is still climbing out of the hole that the awful virus I had put me in. 

1.25 cooldown. 

12.1 easy miles with James.  Did a loop up to Tanner Park, the run went by quickly for me.  Beautiful morning.
