AM: Nice, cool morning with the sun shining. Great morning to do anything. Ran about 4 miles with Sammy. My legs felt better this morning than they did any morning last week. Must be a good sign. No lunch run today -- workout at PCHS tonight. 400s

 

PM: Workout at the North 40 Fields in Park City. Grass Loop, 400 M. We even checked it with the GPS to make sure it was accurate. A little downhill, but also a little soft, even some mud in one spot. Not super quick, but nice.

The first 8 were all 73 or 74, with one 72 sprinkled in there. 73,73,74,72,73,73,74

The last four were a little quicker: 73,69,69,62

Great workout for the HSers. 4 of them ran the entire thing with times very similar to mine. I felt crappy most of the time, my legs felt tired. But now I know that I'm in shape. I was never really tired, I just wasn't clicking like I would want to. I also felt that I could have done at least 4 more at 73-74. This is a good sign. I am strong right now, and ready to race this weekend.

I told Cody I thought you would eat it up! And the altitude won't bug you since you live there.

I'll call you later this week regarding you picking me up from Midway on Friday. I don't know if you were planning on driving all the way to Logan, but Sasha will be driving through SLC around noon and has room available (first come, first serve) if you want to park your car there and have him drive us the rest of the way. That way, you don't have to go all the way to Logan after the race. Just a thought.
