Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance

I tried the Michellel workout. It was snowing out the entire time but still I set up my garmin as Michelle emailed me and I wanted to try it out. I ran a 3 mile warm up at 9:05 pace and looped around Discovery park and decided I would do all my intervals around this loop so I wouldn't have distractions (speeding cars, etc..). Well, still had some distractions even in the snow fall. A man was walking his unleashed apparently tame dog and a community truck was driving on the loop for a bit, whatever? Anyway that didn't happen until a few moments into it so I just kept up with the plan and pushed the lap button to start. I wasn't ready for speedwork after SW Wednesday and the early run yesterday so I was not pushing it to the max I could have. I was also thirsty at the start. Tried to eat some fallen snow to wet my whistle. The shoes are also causing some issues again. Not enough heel cushioning and my body is not quite adjusted. It's only been two days on the exchanged pair. I am kind of impatient. My left achilles started to burn by interval 7. I ran one minute on one minute off x 15. Loved the little five seconds of beeps to warn you when its almost over and when its almost time to start. There is a good uphill in this loop and I seemed to hit it during the SW instead of recovery time more than I would have liked. You should be able to tell with my splits, but I will star them. Here are my much slower than Michelle's splits: 6:26, 6:25, *6:40, 6:06, 6:26, *6:43, 6:16, 6:27, 6:15, 6:25, *6:49, 6:09, 6:37, *6:53, 6:05, 6:20. Last one coming into the hill again but pushed. My recovery minutes ranged from 7:48 (oops) to 9:13. Avg was about 8:40 on them. Ran home 1.8 miles at 8:27 pace. I like this work out. The miles go by without thinking about them cause you are thinking about that minute instead and lovely minute of recovery, ahhhhh!!

That is a fun workout. I saw that in the Jan RW and tried it on the TM couple of times. It helps with leg turnovers. And like you say the miles go by. And for slow person like me, I cover more distance for that 1 min. than speed demons like you and Michelle! GREAT SW in the snow.

Hey, I assume you're at work right now. Hope you can join us on the JRP. I gave direction to the start on my blog. But I'll post it here again. Two ways to get here:

1) From PG drive north on State St. (SR89) all the way thru AF to Lehi, past Costco, past the Center St & 300 W lights all the way till 1500 N light. There's a Chevron gas station on the left. Turn left (west) onto 1500N. Go straight west for about 2 miles. The parking area is on the south side (left) of the road just before the bridge. The pavement by the old bridge is where we park.

2) On I-15 go north, take the Lehi 1200W exit. Turn left to go under the freeway and at the light turn left onto SR 89. Go south till you see the Chevron gas station, turn right going west about 2 miles to just before the bridge.

We will run the north portion of the trail first crossing the road (1500 N). I will PM you my cell #.

Awesome workout Julie! It sounds cool, maybe I will be a copy cat and try it out. Your speed on the fast portions was smokin'!!
