Hit the Lehi track with Matt, Mike, Scott, and Jeff. The guys were doing mile repeats and I wasn't quite ready for that so I did some shorter stuff. Warmed up a half mile before the guys got there then a 4 mile warmup with them with 3x strides. Then I did 2x 100, 2x 200, 4x 400, and 4x 200. The first 200's were 31 and 30 according to Mikes watch. My garmin dies so on the rest of the intervals I kept the effort the same. It felt really good to move fast. It's been a long time since I did shorter stuff and I don't know that I have pushed like that in.. well ever. I didn't go overboard though and it felt smooth so I'm happy. Consistency with the track will only build build confidence moving forward. 2 mile cooldown around the field felt very nice.

There is a reason mile repeats have a reputation; they are hard on the body. Good recovery, and here's to many future mile repeats. :-)
