Easy little jog along this trail by the cabin I stayed at.  Just wanted to do something active before we shot guns and went fishing.  Really have enjoyed just getting away out here in the middle of no where.  I really needed to clear my head.

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...

PM:  Slept through my alarm this morning.  Fail.  Was slammed at work and finally made it over to Scott's house to do the loop there.  I had to cut my run early after I thought of an idea for some marketing at work.  I started at 8:15 and finished at 5:50 pace.  A nice progressive run that I was not planning on doing but I needed to work again on this idea so that is what happened.  90 degrees at 9pm is weird.

AM:  Turkey Point loop with Matt and Riley who is down for the holiday.  I was planning on only doing 5-6 miles.  Fun to have Riley along and talk about the Ogden crew.  Solid guy and runner.  I was told to stop the weights by these two.  Going to listen now and apply.  Ran with these guys for about 6 and then cut the loop short and ran back to Matt's.  Did 3 200 meter stride outs after the run at 5k pace.  Legs feel decent.  Looking forward to racing the 5k tomorrow...

Felt good going into this race.  Thought I had it in me to do a 17:20 but was not in the cards today.  Not too much to report. Splits( 5:37, 6:11, 6:41,.41).  Not really exciting at all.  Moving forward...
