running for my mind

5 mile loop through Holladay and Millcreek. The s-curve was calling and it was nice to be running on some familiar roads.

Met Jake A. at Rattlesnake and went up and along the Pipeline. Did a 5 mile tempo in the middle. So, 2.5 up and 2.5 down with the steeper climb right at the end of the first 2.5. My legs were starting to feel like jello. Felt good. I could get used to that trail as a go-to.

Met Fritz, Daniel, Noah, and Adam at Clayton and did a nice big loop to the south with a spin through Sugar House Park. It was great to run with them but my legs faded hard in the last mile. Consistent sub-7s might take some getting used to again. Especially after yesterday's run.

Loop with Hille. He said it would be easy. He lied.

Cold. Wet. Windy. 10 on the Pipeline with Scott. Was super fun even though it was freezing the last few miles.

What I call the "Ogden curse" struck again. Glad I was not racing Ogden or the "fun" run this morning.
