With Kolten and Henry, also met their friend Matt this morning and ran most of our warm up with him. Last workout before Ogden, I did 4xmile with 2 mins rest at goal hm pace. First couple I started out a bit fast but I evened out. Splits were 5:22, 5:19, 5:26, 5:26. Felt better towards the end. I think the first 4 miles of Ogden I'll probably go 5:30ish. Crossover will be really interesting, I think I should just win it if I can but with lowest possible effort. Excited for all the races I have this year:

Crossover this week

Ogden next week

Founders day in late June

Probably a 4th of July race

Des News Marathon July 24

Top of Utah half in late August

Peach days

So 7 races in the next 4 months. This fall I'll at least do cottonwood heights thanksgiving 5k and another half or full... might pace Kolten at St George assuming I've gotten free entry from my half time.
