Ogden Loop with Ken, Dave, Riley, Matt and Denver.

Can't believe how much destruction that the wind caused over the weekend. Trees were down everywhere. I'm grateful not to have that much damage done to my place. I will take a shattered patio table anyday then what most people went thru.

Nice morning for once. Ran some chilled miles with Denver, Matty, Dave, Riley and Jason.

Even ran some trails this morning. Which was sort of enjoyable, but at the same time it was plenty and got my trail fix in for the month.

Another day and another workout in the books.

Met Riley and Jason at Kneaders on 21st. Left a car there and headed to 36th. We ran a 3 mile warm up, I did a couple of strides to get loose.

Workout plan was somewhat progressive. I wanted to hit around 5:50-6:00 min/pace for 14 miles.

Splits at first were nice and progressive. Starting a little over 6 min pace then worked down into the 5:30s. I was feeling pretty fatigued the last 3 miles and coasted in around 5:45-5:50 pace.

Overall workout pace was right at 5:50 so exactly what I wanted today. Though I didnt feel that easy, glad I gutted it out.

Nice run in Mesquite. Threw in a mile pickup @ 5:15 around 4.5 miles into the run. Feeling good. Doing the run portion of the STG ironman tomorrow. Should be a great time. Excited to see some pros dominate tomorrow.

Ran the ironman portion of the STG 70.3. Kept the pace as close to marathon pace as possible. I ended up having the 2nd fastest time of the day. 1st was the overall winner of the pro division. Our relay team took 2nd overall. STG is always a great place to visit. 

Time on course was 1:13:58
