Track work with Mike, Scott, and Spencer. The plan was 6x 800. After adjustment for me it was 4x 800, 2x 400, 2x 200. My body is not yet a fan of standing rest, it will be eventually though :). The 800's were 2:28, 2:25, 2:32, 2:30. 400's 72, 70. 200's 29, 29. This was fun. I'm learning and will continue these workouts, I will work on getting the speed right. I'm not yet :) as fast as the rest so I don't think it serves me well to stay in the pack at first, even though it's easier because I'm drafting. The fun is learning throughout the process. The guys all looked great and Mr. Nelson has some serious wheels! Warmup, strides, workout, cool down.

Early canyon miles with a good group. Light rain and snow but it was warm and fun. I put a couple half mile pick ups to get the blood moving. :) 7:05

Slept in and then ran around Spanish Fork on the flat hilly route in the wind. The wind was constant but very strong up by the canyon. It was a fun solo run that got gradually faster throughout but felt relatively easy. I decided to push the last mile and ran 5:16 after a bunch from 5:50 - 6:00. Feels good to feel good :). 6:19

Very windy in Orem so we bailed on the canyon and went to Lehi for a good run in less wind around the Alpine area. Mike, Zak, Matt, Scott, Chris, Reed, Toni, and I cruising. I took my new Garmin 220 for a spin and like it very much. Kept it easy today after the tempo push yesterday. The guys looked awesome on their push, i held it back today but still got 3 around marathon effort. The post run waffles hit the spot, thank you Mike! 6:47
