Solid run, legs are sore today but run felt decent. Sped up to about marathon pace the last half mile.

Am- 10.25 with Henry Jake and Kolten. Very bad air quality, my mask worked great though. Was a good investment.

Pm- 8 on treadmill and then braved the outdoors for .75 extra to cool down after Weber states gym closed. Did 3x2 a 11mph with 4 mins rest between, went up to 11.2 for the 2nd mile of the first rep. Was struggling the other two. The treadmill I was using randomly died with a quarter mile left in the 2nd rep so I jumped over to another treadmill and did an extra .3 before the 4 minute break.

Apparently the air quality at places like vasa and other box gyms isn't much better than outdoors, and Weber state and Ogden athletic club are the best bets for decent air quality on a treadmill unless I get my own.

With Jake Kolten Kyler and Wyatt out on a gravel road near the salt lake in Farmington. Ended up doing another 3x2 mile workout. Splits were

11:34 (5:48, 5:46)

11:30 (5:42, 5:48)

11:30 (5:50, 5:40)

Felt harder than I would like it to, but muggy conditions on gravel will do that. I could have done another rep at the end if I had to.
