I was headed for the trails today until I finally got off work and the mountain was black and windy.

So i went to the gym and ran on the mill and did a little workout. 10 minute warmup and then 40 minutes of 1 min on 1 min off hills. 5 sets of 2.5 incline, 3, 3.5, 4.5. first set at 9.2 mph and went up .2 every set until the last one was 10mph. I didn't slow on the offs, It was a break because there was no incline :). After the last set I did 5x 200 at 14mph with 200 jogs at 8.6. Short cool down. A plan is beginning to formulate.

I embraced the opportunity to run some glorious soft trails after work. The storm yesterday made everything peachy. Now is the best time of year to get out and enjoy some singletrack. So fun. 70 minutes of twists, turns, colors, climbing, and descent :).

Met Scott, Mike, and Reed at the Lehi track for some 400s. After a warmup I changed into flats and we did some strides. The plan was 8-12 400s. This was my first experience doing them with a short standing rest. It was tough. After 6 I switched it up and did 8x 200 with 200 jogs. It was a great workout for me. I'm liking the track. I've got a long way to go but I'm confident that the track sessions are key for me. 400s were ~71, 200s were ~31. Mike and Scott are really fast, everyone looked great today.

I slept in 11 hours and then ran easy around town. I love fall. The trail around the ball fields was especially fun with piles of leaves to run through. Scott lent me a garmin 205 to use until my 220 gets here. I think it's really cool. Fun to use the old brick style. 7:02

I had the pleasure of running baldy with Mike and Reed today. it was absolutely perfect. We met at the soccer park and ran the bst to battle then up to baldy. Tagged the summit after a bunch o' climbing. I was so excited for the return via great western and 33 that I nearly peed :). The whole return was Mario kart goodness but the section from baldy to the rock pile is some of the best single track I've ran, I was flying. We regrouped at the rock pile and then ran various track until we hit the markings from the race last weekend and cruised it back to the soccer park. Such a fun day and even better to enjoy it with Mike and Reed. 10:00 avg for the run, 4900 vert :).
