TRACK WORKOUT
AM: Met Matt, Reed and Toni @ Lone Peak HS this morning around 5. Did a little wu to the bathroom. Felt a little refreshed due to the low mileage last week but still felt mentally out of it. Plan was to do a 5k time trial at tempo this morning. We did a 4 mile wu along the trailhead. Winds were pretty crazy. It has been warm in the mornings the last couple of weeks and today was no different. Got to the track and we did some strides and then a 1/4 mile in 79 sec to officially prime the legs. Matt, Toni and Reed all did the 5k time trial. I wussed out and decided to do 3Xmile repeats with a 100 walk in between. Mentally I wanted to keep it fun and do a workout but not hate myself the rest of the day. I cannot afford to burnout with running. It has been a great drug for me. Splits were 5:39, 6:04, 5:50. Did a 2 mile cd. I am pleased with the workout. Nothing fancy or exciting. Really I never felt I was pressing. I just mentally was not ready to do a time trial. Legs feel ready for Thursday. The pace today felt very comfortable. I still need to do a better job on my breathing. LUNCH: Met Matt at the mouth of Provo Canyon. Ran 5 more easy miles on an out and back. Stupid Hot during this run. Couldn't even think after 4 miles haha. Great conversation with Matt the whole time. Good man...
