AM - 7.5 miles. Just an easy 60 minutes with lots of loops on the grass at the horse park.

PM - 11.5 miles. Wanted to get in some MP miles today. My left calf/achilles has been feeling a little weird since the canyon run on Saturday (Chad noticed the same problem), so I played it safe and stayed on a flat surface with no camber - the track. Warmed up 1.5 miles then got down to business:

10K in 32:53 (5:17 / mile average) - 5:19, 5:18, 5:18, 5:16, 5:15, 5:13, 1:14

...600m jog recovery... 

5K in 16:16 (5:14 / mile average) - 5:14, 5:16, 5:11, :36

Andrea was at the track too, and she jumped in and out and did some 200s along with me. It was so awesome to see her running fast again - she looked strong and smooth. It won't be long before she is kicking butt again. 

In the past 10 days I've had a great string of workouts, starting with the SLC 15K to today. Now I'm not doing too much harder running other than a neuromuscular tuneup workout on Wed or Thur later this week. Looking forward to racing on Sunday because I think I'm ready to pop a fast one.

Oh, and 65 degrees today? Seriously awesome. 4 days ago I had to move my workout to the indoor track, and today I was running shirtless and in my shortest-shorty-shorts. Love it!

You have to make those kinds of photo requests to Andrea!

Rob - just 27 more kilometers at that pace with 0 meters recovery and I'll be celebrating bigtime in beantown :-)
