AM: Managed 6.5 hrs of sleep. In to
work at 6am, planning on running right away but changed my mind to wait a
little later. Finally got out at 10:40am and did a 3xmile w/ ½ mile recoveries.
I ran my usual Memory Grove out and back starting the first mile repeat at the
FireHouse. Then for the recovery I turned back and ran the ½ mile back up and
repeated. This way I ran my 8-mile course in 10-miles, a fun little twist. I was
much happier with this workout compared to Tuesday. Here they go…
Mile 1 5:39 Down 143ft Rest 4:26 Up 66ft
Mile 2 5:29 Down 122ft Rest 4:28 Up 149ft (went up City Creek instead of
the way I came)
Mile 3 5:14 Down 231ft (was shooting for 5:19 but I’ll take it!!!)
Then I recovered the 4-miles back to
lab. The run was great. In addition to the nice mile splits the quails were out
in force. I think they are the funniest birds ever. I love to watch them run,
and the funny feather on the males makes me laugh every time. On top of it
there were two hummingbirds playing around the Shriner’s Hospital on my cool
down just darting back and forth in front of me. Mi 10-T2 Avg. 7:26
PM: Just three easy TM miles while on
daddy duty. Mi 3-T2 Avg. 8:00
