Gully long run with Alta track and cross country legend Rob Murphy, had a great time catching up and running. Perfect weather, little windy. Probably the busiest I've ever seen the gully. I'll have to make it to there more often while I'm back, amazing views and a great workout. 

This whole week is in the 60s and 70s so I might run every day through saturday. Meeting Jake up in Weber county tomorrow for mile repeats. My goal is just to stay under 5:30 for 3 and then do what I can on the 4th. If I can't go under 5:30 on the 3rd I'll cut the 4th.

Ran a warm up mile in the park and then went to the track and did another half mile to a mile of warming up, then we ran 3 mile repeats.

Mile 1- 5:27

Mile 2: 5:30

Mile 3: 5:45

I probably could have pushed it a little harder on mile 3, but I thought I was going slower than I was and had kind of lost motivation. Awesome day though, lots of good athletes at the track. Cooled down a mile in the park. Walk/jogged 3 laps between each mile. We went out in 75 on the first mile and it felt pretty good, I think I could make a good run at sub 5:00 right now. We'll probably do that next week, and then have 15 minute recover before we try two sub 5:30 miles.

Broke my finger playing football with my brother. Was going to run after doing some sprints with football routes, but ended up getting my finger taken care of tonight. Long run tomorrow.
