So I don't know why but I did it anyway. Decided that it was a great idea to run from work at 2:30 in the morning! So I did, and it was actually pretty cool! Ran from McKay Dee down to Washington blvd then ran Washington all the way into north Ogden, straight shot! Pretty fun, roads were well lit, I think there was some type of meteor shower going on because there was a bunch that I saw once I got off the main rd where the streets weren't lit. Planning a quick run after school probably hit some fast downhill miles to get ready for snow canyon next weekend.

 

P.M

Did a quick workout tonight up in North Ogden down my normal tempo route. Started on 3100 N and ran to the Pepsi plant in Pleasant view for a quick 4 mile tempo. Not going to lie this is the best that I have felt and I think the fastest 4 mile tempo of the year for myself.

splits- 5:17.58; 5:12.93; 5:10.92; 5:03.74

If I can feel like this next weekend and add 9 more miles to it; 1:08 is very attainable

1 mile warm/1.10 cool

It's always awesome to have a solid 4 mile tempo. Excellent work. Didn't know you were running snow canyon! You and Dave will run awesome there! Best of luck and it's fun to watch your times continue to improve.
