I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Crosstraining miles	Total Miles
13.00	2.00	4.00	0.00	0.00	19.00

AM- Oh, it was SOOOOO glorious to do a speed workout in the cool morning rather than the hot, hot afternoon. SOOOOO nice! I still sweated enough as it was.

Big Workout- I did 3 miles warmup, then 2 miles tinman tempo pace (~6:30, which was a bit slower than it should have been), then .5 mile more. Then it was time for 6x1000 m on the track, with 200m slow jog for recovery (~1:30). My splits were 3:30 (5:36 pace), 3:30, 3:31, 3:26, 3:26, 3:21 (5:21 pace). Felt good. I was really having to concentrate hard on my breathing the last two, but my legs were not near as dead as they were after my Monday workout. About 3 miles cool down, bringing the total to 13 miles in 1:31:52.

PM- 6 easy miles with Paul on the Logan River trail. Warm out. I had a rock in my stomach from a late lunch at a pizza shop.

Tangent- 299, 800- 18

Weight: 0.00

Yeah, I actually felt pretty good this morning, but decided to sleep in instead. I have a hard time getting up when I have no reason to run!

But I'm still up the River Trail later on. Let me know what you're planning.

Amazing what a difference the heat does/does not make. Those are some cookin splits man, good job! I love how you fire off those splits and then just lump it all into 'easy miles' :-)

From Jon on Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 12:32:03

Oh yeah, I forgot to put them in CV miles. I may change that. I usually just put everything in easy miles, Jeff, except for races. I've actually requested to Sasha a few times to let me change back to just "Total miles" but he says it isn't possible.

Very impressive workout! Great way to take advantage of the weather.

Nice workout Jon. Always good to bring it home on the last repeat.

Thanks, Adam. But where is your race report? I've been waiting for it all day!
