Solid group from the pond this morning. Ran the Monroe Route with Ken, Riley, Jon, Denver, Matt and Manny. Warmer morning today with some light rain. Legs are feeling great and ready to pop off a couple of hard interval sessions this week.

Nice chilled morning up on the trails of Ogden with Riley, Dave and Ken. Avg pace was a little over 8 min/miles which has been our fastest in a couple of months.

WORKOUT

Met with Jon, Riley, Dave, Denver and Matt at Smiths. We all did the first couple of miles together then split to do our workouts. Matt, and Denver was doing a 5 mile progression tempo and Riley helped pace them. Dave was just going easy. Jon and I proceeded to do 2X3 mile Fartlek workout.

Goal was to run alternating 90/75 for quarter mile. Rest was 3 minutes in between sets.

Splits- 87,75,85,77,88,78,85,77,88,79,86,76 Total time 16:30 5:29 avg

2nd set- 88,76,88,75,90,77,89,81,87,81,89,72 Total time 16:41 5:33 avg

Great overall workout. Felt strong for the most part, had some slower splits do to a pretty nasty headwind coming from the east. Glad I nailed the easy portion of the workout. That part seemed to be the hardest coming off a quick 400, the body naturally wanted to rest but had to still give a solid effort.

Total Mileage for the morning- 11.05

Met up with Ken, Denver, Moss and Jon from the Riverdale Parkway. Felt suprisingly good today considering its a day after a workout. At the 5 mile turn around, Jon and Denver headed back while Ken, Moss and I added on to make 12 mile total.

Colder down by the river today. 44 degrees to start.

Epic trail run to Lewis peak down windsurfer in the valley. Run was pretty awesome. Saw a huge bull moose around 1.5 miles in, viewed an awesome sunrise. 

Calves flaired up about half mile in, hurt pretty bad, had to stop and stretch for a bit but managed once I got them stretched out.
