Easy 15 on our normal Ogden Loop. Pretty big fire on the Ogden Parkway this morning, was cool to see driving by it but also pretty sad, looked like a couple homes mightve caught fire. Hoping not. Legs were pretty heavy for the entire run today. Just the norm of marathon training.

PM

4.31 miles after work around Layton.

Sluggish run today. Legs never responded the entire run. Just felt exhausted and just wanted to lie down and take a nap for a couple minutes. I didnt think it was to much to ask for.

Workout|Wednesday

Another workout, another day. Met up Ken, Riley, Matty, Jason, Dave and Jared at Ken's office to do a workout.

Warm was 2.70 miles with 4X20 second strides

Workout was 5X4K with 1K active recovery

Splits 13:16: 13:29; 13:13; 14:18; 14:10

Lost pace for the last 6K of the workout. We hit the road by the canyon and the wind is super strong in the mornings. With the combination of a slight uphill, killer headwind, it puts me into threshold and its hard to recover for the rest of the workout.

Though its tough I like to fight through the pain a little bit. Also overall I was 10 seconds faster for this workout then I was when I did the same workout back in April.

1.44 cool down with Ken and Riley

Overall mileage- 19.00

A.M.

8.21 miles easy on the Canal Rd. Legs felt actually somewhat decent this morning. Better than I expected for a recovery day. About 2 miles in a saw a coyote which was pretty cool. I hear them all the time from my house but have never seen one. Then about 4 miles in I ran into Brayden Youngberg and joined him for about 3 miles or so. Nice to run with him made my recovery run go by just a tad quicker.

Solid run this morning with Riley. Met the guys at Ogden high and warmed up to the top of 46th st. Had a great tempo this morning. Pace was honest and nailed a solid split up the toll road. Ready for a little down week, then back at it again for a couple more weeks for STG
