Easy miles with Casey and Jan to stretch the legs after racing.

I had an 8:15 dentist appt. so had to cut my run a bit short this morning. I ran from home and did two loops around Liberty Park, easy. I was fairly sore and a little sluggish. Since I had to cut it short in the morning, I added 2.5 after work here in the neighborhood.

Speedwork @ East High Track with the Black Sheep. On the menu was 10 x 800 @ 2:40 pace with 400 meter jog recoveries after each.

Ran a mile warm up and then an 800 with accelerating straightaways.

For the main course, here were the 800 times:

1. 2:41

2. 2:42

3. 2:37

4. 2:38

5. 2:39

6. 2:40

7. 2:40

8. 2:41

9. 2:41

10. 2:39

The last couple were tough. Josh was hanging in there with me and we (well, at least I) had to push hard to keep the final 800 under 2:40. Then one mile to cool down.

A 7:30 a.m. meeting at work meant I would have to split workouts today. So, I was out the door with JWood at 5:45 for an easy 6 miler to City Creek and 11th Ave.

After work, I added another 4.75 in the gorgeous Morris Meadow on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail at sunset.

Here are a few things I listened to on the evening run on "Lil' Trooper II", my iPod Nano: The Editors/Hot Chip/Mew/Love is All/TV on the Radio/Tapes 'n Tapes/Camera Obscura/Danielson/The Pipettes/Arctic Monkeys/Belle & Sebastian

Met up with Jed Burton at the post office on Sunnyside at 5:45 and we ran up Emigration Canyon, easy pace. Jed told me all about his Park City Marathon race and I'm excited to see the momentum that win will create as he takes the Grand Slam through TOU and STGM.

I didn't track any splits today, but our pace was easy all the way around, though we did pick it up a bit running down the canyon; controlled moderate pace.

From home, I ran a loop that went through the U, past Steiner to 13th So., up to Wasatch Blvd, Bonneville Golf Course, the Zoo, Research Park, Fort Douglas, Federal Heights and home. This was a nice loop that puts together bits and pieces of lots of other routes. Kept the pace easy, but added some surges on the downhill stretch through Federal Heights at the end just to practice the downhill form.

Bear Lake. Heather and I drove up to the cabin last night and got in fairly late, just enough time to eat a bit,chat with the rest of the family, and go to bed.

I wanted to get out the door before 6am, but Heather wanted to run with me, and she doesn't like the early hours on the weekend, so we didn't get out until before 7am. We drove down to Pickleville and parked, then ran for an hour on some lonely roads. It was cool and already sunny. We got in about 7.5 together. Heather headed back up to the cabin, and I headed north along the lake road through Garden City and turned around just after crossing the Idaho border. It was then a long 6.5 back. I got very hungry and stopped and bought a banana and a gatorade. That helped me avoid a bonk, as I don't think I ate enough carbs last night. I pushed the last couple of miles to 7 minute pace. Came back to the cabin, took an ice bath, then had a massive plate of eggs, pancakes and potatoes. I always say, the best part of running is the overeating!
