AM - 21.25 SGM. Logan and I hitched a ride with Dad up the course above Veyo and headed out on a Marathon Michigan of 4/8/4 after a 4 mile warm. The morning was perfect - temps, tailwind, moonlight. The first MP push was very solid - 5:40 up the Dameron Hills (if only I could do that on race day! I'll take 6:00). Then the Tinman was just super easy. Then finished the workout with 4 into town and almost to the finish. Hit a 5:18 ave here. It was the best workout I've had in years; I really felt like I was in the zone, everything was so effortless and I didn't ever have to push out of a comfort zone to do what I wanted. Cooled for just over a mile. (Kinvara green 217.25) noon - 5.5 SugarHouse. Up on the State course with the Varsity teams. I didn't have the legs to push the fartlek with with the legs like bricks, but still hit the sections into the 6:00's and 5:00's by the end. Teams ran well at Herriman and it was a good trip.
