Today was a hard run because I was so beat by the time we ran this run. I say threshold because although I could have gone faster, they were not easy miles at all. This got me up above 50 miles this week, this is the first time I have ever reached 50 miles in a week! I am really happy about my accomplishment and I hope to repeat this again. We were supposed to run up at Alta ski resort but the road was closed off because of a marathon coming down. Instead we went back to Alta high and ran from the school to the Draper Temple and circled around a few time, Kramer said we ran about 12 miles. I felt tired this run and some of my joints and tendons were aching and hurt a little bit, my calfs and quads were really sore. I think I will do another easy 2-4 miles with my brother after I get home from work tonight. I have a lot to do if I want to catch some of those guys in Bingham's top 5, and I do. A lot of our guys did good work today.

Well done!

Take the day off tomorrow and rest that achy body.
