Total Distance
15.00

AM: 3 miles before work with Sammy Dog. *This is going be a long week I think.* 

Lunch Run: 3 more miles. My legs felt pretty good actually. Going to Park City to run tonight and watch Erica play some soccer. 

PM: Bought some new shoes and just felt like running a workout. The weather was right and my legs felt like crap so I figured what the heck. I went back to the 400's, it's been a few weeks. Ran from the soccer fields to the track (2.7 miles according to the van).

Here are the splits for 8x400 with 200 jog recovery: 71,70,69,69,68,68,69,67

2.7 mile cooldown. 9 total for the workout.

I never felt "good", but the workout was solid. Going to start training with Park City HS on Thursday -- my next workout day. I will be asst coach with the HS so the training will be 5k geared on those days.  Hmmm....Sounds better than marathon training.

I hear you will be on our WBR team- that is great. Fun race. Related to that, I have a dilemma that you may be able to help me with. I have to leave my car in Midway so that I can leave immediately after my last leg for a wedding. I was planning to drive down and leave it sometime Friday morning. But I don't have a way to get back to Logan for the start. Do you know when/how you were planning to get to Logan, and would it be possible for me to get a ride with you?

Yeah no problem.

Give me a call at 810-625-3761 when we get closer to the date and we'll set up a time to meet / drive to the start.

You can even leave your car at my house in Heber if you'd prefer.

Great, I'll give you a call next week. I think I'll leave it in Midway right at the middle school so I can high-tail it out of there as soon as I finish. I appreciate your help.
