Big Workout. First in a long time, probably since SGM. I drove up to the mouth of Blacksmith fork canyon to escape the pollution and I was greeted with a nice headwind. It made for some cold temps on the way up the canyon, but the air was clear. I ran 7.5 miles up at 7:20 pace. I was working pretty hard to maintain that pace and I sure felt fatigued on the way down as a result. For the workout portion I ran from the turnaround 7 miles at Marathon Pace (~6 min miles) with a cooldown of 1/2 mile. It was a struggle to hit the times, but the workout is in the books. Tempo Miles: 5:57, 6:00, 6:03, 6:00, 6:03, 5:59, 5:57 T-1:40:20 (6:41) 167 ave 178 max (175 ave for tempo)
