Out the door at 6am, I ran over to Foothill and met up with Casey and Derrick. We ran back north and those guys turned around at 11th Ave and Virginia. I completed my usual loop from there.  The run ended up being twelve miles, which isn't so bad for a Monday in February.

Workout with the Black Sheep. We met at Foothill and ran "Stan's Hill Workout"--which basically involves running every hill above Wasatch Blvd between 1300 So. and 1700 So. multiple times at top speed.

Met up with Josh and ran a Big Workout.  We warmed up 3 miles to Sunnyside/Guardsman and then began a 2 mile Tinman tempo run, up 9th South and then south on 21st East.  I missed the split on the first mile (prob 6:10 or so with the little climb on 9th So.) and 5:55 for mile 2. Then some rest to 21st South, followed by 4 x 1 mile with ~3 minutes rest between. My watch had my splits as 5:47; 5:44; 5:38; 5:44.  Josh was several seconds faster on a couple of these. By the start of the third mile interval we were at 3300 South. We had to symmetricize some of the recovery portions to optimize terrain gradient.  That's right, we symmetricized.  Then we had a long, long cool down home.

Met up with an early group at Foothill for three miles and then ran another 12 with a group that started big (10-12 runners) and slimmed down as everyone tailored their run to different distances.  Our route, an out and back, took us nearly to the Capitol before turning around.  I felt decent, not great.  My heel was giving me some problems. Enough problems that, after the run, I went out and bought a Strassberg sock and a foot roller designed for PF.  I hope these will help a bit.
