AM - 11 miles. Met the team at the JRP. Rob asked me to pace Kramer through a progression run today. I agreed (last week), figuring it would be a good "lead in" to my other workouts for the week. After the fall on Saturday, I was unsure of how my knee would hold up to this, and that made me a little nervous but I decided to give it a go anyways and help Kramer out. The idea was to do a warmup mile, then drop to 6:50 pace and take it down ~15 seconds per mile, finishing around 5:00 pace or faster. It didn't quite go as planned... the first half was fine and then we turned around into a 15 mph headwind, just enough to make it brutal when its hot out. Once we got under 5:45 pace Kramer was having a harder time so we ended up bagging it early. I ended up with 4 miles in the AT spectrum - 5:45, 5:31, 5:21, 5:25. Knee wasn't great but it wasn't worse. Lots of ice today. Sweat was a little salty so gotta clean up the diet!

PM - 11 miles. Horsepark loops. 

Rob's planned morning workout...

And our failed attempt to do it...

I didn't realize you were helping coach at Alta. that's fun. I coach at Highland. Nice job today. They are so lucky to have you to push them.

Kassi - are you head the coach at Highland? That's awesome...any girls that you can do workouts with? :)

Kassi - Can you take over the cheerleading team and have them start practicing somewhere other than lane one of the track in the mornings? :-)

That's awesome that you are involved in the program there. Rob is the head coach at Alta... I'm helping him out as much as I can. Mainly, I just love running w/ the kids and already seeing so many of them improving, so its very rewarding. They motivate me just as much as I motivate them, I think.

Don't worry Jake, you motivate us...me. :)

Glad the knee wasn't worse.

Nothing like a hot headwind to demotivate.

From Rob Murphy on Mon, Aug 05, 2013 at 20:19:42 from 24.10.249.165

What kind of crazy coach would put together a workout like that?

From SlowJoe on Mon, Aug 05, 2013 at 20:21:50 from 66.69.93.8

I like how it says 11 miles, then has 10 splits.

From Jake K on Mon, Aug 05, 2013 at 20:22:49 from 67.177.11.154

Stupid Joe Vigil!

If we had started at 3300S and did this the opposite way, I think it would have gone a lot better :-)

I told Kramer not to worry, every workout can't be perfect. The way he ran on Saturday at Bear Lake was a much better indicator of where he's at than today.

Joe - Rob is a history teacher, not math.

From Rob Murphy on Mon, Aug 05, 2013 at 20:54:33 from 24.10.249.165

OK, I was assuming a cool down mile. Jeez!

From Jake K on Mon, Aug 05, 2013 at 21:03:52 from 67.177.11.154

Which is exactly what we did... Except started the cooldown a little early!
