I went running along the East Shore of Bear Lake. Unlike Saturday, with snow & rain, the conditions were great; plenty of afternoon sun, and warm.  I even ran shirtless on the way back to the car. Sorry for the blinding paleness, passing motorists!

I snuck in a few miles this morning before everyone was up and around.  I ran out and back to Garden City from Kimball Lane.

AM: Black Sheep Workout at East High.  After the 1.2 mile warmup, we ran 5 x 300 m at increasing pace with 100 m jog between.  Then we did John Straley's famous "Penny Run," the goal of which is to stagger runners so that everyone finishes more or less together, regardless of pace.  For me, this meant running a little less than 700 m while most ran 600m or so.  We did this about 8 times.  I was running in the 2:12-2:14 range. Then some cooldown. 

 PM: Ran home from work, 2.25 miles.

AM:  I ran with Emily Bates from my house. We did a 3 mile warmup and then 4 "spicy" tempo miles.  Just spicy, not very hard.  Times were in the 6:30s, except for the last one at 6:14.  It was good to move my legs a little more quickly, but honestly 6:30 should feel much easier than it did.

 PM:  I ran home from work, 2.2 miles.

I ran "Ye Olde Loope" this morning, without the Ensign Elementary extension part.  I don't know how to express that fully in Olde English, maybe something like: 

 "I have runneth over Ye Olde Loope in the Morning, but over the Ensign Elementary route, have I runneth naught."

This morning I ran out and back up Emigration Canyon, just past Ruth's Diner. I saw Jed flying down the canyon at a rapid clip just before I hit my turnaround point.
