Wheeler Farm Loops

AM - 8 miles. For my required novelty birthday run, I did 30 x 1 minute (1 minute recovery). Averaged ~7:30 per mile on the fast parts and ~7:30 per mile on the recoveries. In other words, I ran an easy hour with Allie, Josh, Fritz, and Nate.

Skied at Alta for a couple hours. The snow is turning brown and melting. Sad :-(

Luckily Scottie Pippen was there.

I'm already dreaming of some new goals for this year now that I'm 30 (image courtesy of my good friend Sean Curran who you may remember from Curran's Famous Steeple):

AM - 10 miles. Mainly horsepark loops. Speaking of which: Thoroughbreds are running as fast as they can.

PM - 8 miles.

AM - 10 miles.

PM - 8 miles.

Timely thoughts from Phoebe Wright. 

AM - 10 miles.

PM - 8 miles.

AM - 10 miles. 8K AT Tempo in 26:56 (5:25/mile avg). Splits (1600) - 5:29, 5:27, 5:24, 5:21, 5:13. HHS track w/ Nate. 3 up, 2 down. 

No PM run due to washing machine repair annoyingness.

AM - 11 miles.

PM - 11 miles.

AM - 20 mile long run. Easy pace, Jeremy Ranch. Usual out and back for 14.5 (Fritz, Josh, and Chad dropped there), then Nate, Matt, and I added on another 5.5 on the Flying Dog trail. Muddy, muddy, muddy. We saw two mooses!

PM - 4 miles. Shakeout.

I feel like this was sort of a lazy training week. I talked a good game about rebounding from my Indianapolis race, but didn't necessarily follow through - I let some other stuff alter my focus on the little things. I think today's long run was a good way to reset my mind and I'm motivated to get going again as I make the push toward some good races in June.
