15 miles with Jon, Riley, Moss and Denver. At the end of the run we did 4 sets of uphill/downhill sprints. Beautiful morning, mid 40s felt fantastic.

 Broke out some Skechers GORun 4-2016. Great update to the shoe and felt great right out of the box.

Started at Rainbow with Bret, Riley, Jason and Denver. Headed up to the canal rd. Jason, Denver and I turned around at 3.60 before the canal turned into the BST. Riley and Bret kept going. Jason and I dropped down to the Ogden Parkway and ran 3 miles on that to make it a little over 10 for the day.

PM

WORKOUT|WEDNESDAY

Met up with Riley and Matthew at Smiths for a workout. I had nothing really planned for this week and was just focusing on mileage. Riley was doing 20X1 minute, 10X30 seconds. So I decided I could do my 200 workout that I havent done for awhile, so thats what I did.

I ended up doing 30X200 with 200 meter active jog. Avg pace for the 30 reps was 33.3 second/avg.

2 mile cooldown around the hospital.

Riley ran well. Matthew did a great job with his workout. Also weather was on the spot. Felt great this morning.

PM

3.10 on treadmill

Snails pace run from Smiths solo. Slept in for an extra hour which felt great. Also was nice to run without a headlamp for the entire run. Plus the weather was fantastic, it really feels like Spring is here.

Legs were pretty tired today. Left hammy was giving some fits today but I think once I can roll it out I should be good to go.

Crazy fun run sort of with Riley and Bret started with us and ran 3.5 or so. We started from 12th street by the canyon ran the canal rd system past Weber High in Pleasant View, then climbed up into Pole Patch then hooked on to the BST. BST was clear for the first mile then the snow started coming. It just got deeper, and deeper. Riley and I trudged through knee deep snow for 2.5 miles and it just lit us up! Took us closed to 42 minutes to do that section. Also the closest I've came to saying the F word! Memorable for sure, fun not so much. Once we got off the mountain we were spent. Finished the last 4 miles strong. Definitly great marathon training with time on the feet.

Good to get another long run in! I will remember this one for quite some time.

Legs actually felt really good today. Not as much residual fatigue as I thought I would've had. Met Jon and his to brothers at Lee's market. Headed east to the canal where we ran into Roger Snow then Cody Watson. We made them join us, so we had a solid 6 guys today on our run. Weather was phenomenal, it was 50 degrees to start the run. Been spoiled the last week, hoping the weather sticks around. 

Recovery pace today 7:53 min/miles
