I ran up in Mountain green with Riley and Dave. Not really with them, just went up there with them so I could do a 5 mile tempo to get ready for the Snow Canyon half in a couple weeks. I did two miles flat then I ran uphill on Trappers loop for 5 miles. It was slow and long but when I finally got 5 miles up I started my tempo downhill. I felt good and was happy with the result I feel like I'm ready for the half coming up. Here's my splits for the tempo.

Sariah was so nice and watched katie's kids and my kids so we could do a workout together this morning. We did mile repeats in Sariah's neighborhood and they turned out really well for me. It helped to have someone to do them with. Much faster then last weeks mile repeats.

Ran on the parkway with Sariah in the afternoon. We pushed kids, I felt like I had no energy then realized I didn't have much to eat today because I was preoccupied with watching extra kids and forgot to eat. Oh well glad I got a run in. AP 8:07

I did a workout this morning with Katie. I decided to do 8x400, I haven't done something fast for awhile so I figured I should. It was a tough workout particularly because we couldn't find the right pace we were all over the place. We did a two mile warm up and two mile cool down.

Ran on the trails today behind Weber State. Scared two women pretty good, I felt bad about that. But I didn't feel tired from my run yesterday.
