| | Today we did a virtual 5K. It consisted of our usual 3 mile tempo down the canyon plus a little extra to make it a 5K. I ended up with 15:04. My last three miles were 4:48, 4:56 and 4:48. Definitely no tailwind makes a difference ;-).
After finishing, I paced William in the second 'heat' of our family 5K. We ended up averaging under 20 minutes, a first for us. Granted, there was downhill ;-). But it still felt good.

| | Today did 3 x 1 mile down the canyon. The target was 4:40, but headwind made that difficult. Ran the first one in 4:45, then 4:46. The wind died down on the last interval, plus I smelled the barn. Ended up with 4:39.

| | Today I did 4 x 2 miles in the canyon. The first interval I paced Joseph and Jacob for a two mile time trial. Jacob broke 5:20 average - 10:39 for two miles. Then I did an interval uphill in 10:59 - 5:21 and 5:38. Next was a downhill interval in 9:55 - paced fairly evenly.
The first uphill interval I started out too fast (76) trying to catch some other runners who were doing a workout. On the second one, I decided to start slower, and it paid off. My splits were 5:22 and 5:15 (last 600 in 1:53) which gave me 10:37. This is a record for going up the canyon.
Ended up with 17 total miles.
