Black Sheep workout. We started at Popperton Park (11th Ave and Virginia). We ran a one mile warm up. Starting from the firestation on 11th Ave., we did 2 minutes hard/2 minutes easy, running west, and then north down past the entrance to City Creek, and south to the Capitol. Easy jog down to Memory Grove. We did 4 hard sets of stairs between Memory Grove and 4th Ave. Then we did the Black Sheep classic "Over and Up," which means running easy on the flat numbered streets and running hard up the hilly lettered streets. The first few were not so bad. Josh and I were hanging in there, with Derick not far behind and the rest of the group a little bit back. By the time we were running between 9th and 10th Ave, I was getting anaerobic. Heart rate was up to 180. On the final stretch, between 10th and 11th Ave, I was wasted. My HR was 186 at the end of that long climb, and I think I only have a couple of beats to go beyond that for a maximum. It took a couple of minutes to catch my breath and jog it back to the finish. Kind of a brutal start to the morning, but fun.

Chad thanks for the comments on my workout. I had some of the same thoughts myself.
