2.5 in the AM with Sammy Dog. She was tired from yesterday. The warmest morning since I have been here, I think it was almost up to 45 degrees when we left the door. Soon, I'll be shedding the hat and gloves -- can't wait.

To the track tonight -- I'm not excited, but it's only once a week.

 

PM:  Warm afternoon, around 75 with a little wind. The warmest day since I've been in UT. Did a mile and a half warmup -- felt terrible and considered postponing the workout til Tues. But I know how that goes, so I didn't want to postpone.

5x800 with 400M (2:15-2:30) recovery:  The first one was rough 2:38 and it was all I had. 2nd one was not much better, got down to 2:36.  By the third one I hit a rhythm and ran a 2:34, my easiest one of the day. The fourth and fifth were a bit of a struggle as I tried to keep taking time off. 4th one was in 2:31 and the last one in 2:28.  Splits were pretty even throughout, a couple times I got out a little fast. 

Total for the day: 9 Miles

I've been wondering...is that picture the view from your backyard there in Heber City, Utah? These last few days here in Utah have been great, haven't they? It would be nice if we could stay like this for a while before hittin' the big numbers on the thermometer! Good running! Is your wife a runner by any chance?
