No running. Headed up to East Canyon early for some time on the SUP (stand up paddleboard). Beautiful morning.

Park City trail run.  12 miles up and back on the Armstrong trail, up to mid-mountain, and then a couple more miles easy from the base.

For the first time in years I ran twice today -- though with very modest mileage!I ran 3 miles on the AM on the treadmill, waiting for the sprinkler guy.  Added another four miles at lunch, up Memory Grove in the heat.

Arrived East Canyon Reservoir at 5:40 am.  We had a group of 15 this morning -- all swimming except for yours truly, spent the morning on the paddle board. Watched the sun come up over the water, gorgeous.  Paddled 2.5 miles.

Next up, got dropped off at Little Dell Reservoir and  ran up Little Mountain and down Emigration Canyon, ending just below the zoo.  Pace was just under 7 min for most of the downhill section -- added two "spicy" miles starting at the Fire Station: 5:56 and 5:49.  These felt fine, but hey, they're downhill.  It got quite warm by the finish. A long morning, but a lot of fun.

Longer run for the first time in a long time -- took a tour of the east side of the SL Valley.  Felt better than expected, but took it very easy.  Running time 2:56.

Speed work at Highland track with the Black Sheep.  9 x ~750m. The awkward distance is part of the workout, John's "Penny Run."  Most splits in the range of 2:38/2:39

Workout at East High with the Black Sheep.  Following a one mile warm up and 800 m of speed changes, the meat of the workout included 7 x 1200 m.  The first and last 200m of each of the 1200 was at ~44 seconds.  The 800s in between were at ~2:57.  Fairly consistent overall and it felt pretty good, though a little slower than where I would like to be. I would say that it projects a 3 hour marathon, or barely below.

Grand tour of the east side of the SL valley with JD.  Great run.  Total time 2:54.

I may go run .10 just for the joy of seeing "70.0" for the week -- even though the number is a bit of an illusion because it includes two long runs in the last 7 days.

Five miles on the treadmill in the morning. I had planned to run at lunch or in the afternoon for a few more miles but then, suddenly, life got in the way.

Black Sheep workout on the Highland HS track.  After a warmup around the park and 400m of speed changes, the workout was 10 x 800m; Yasso style.  Times for the first few were in the range of 2:57.  After that, pretty consistently 2:51-2:53.
