3 miles with the team for the warm up and little bit of the cool down. Team did another Vo2 max test today.

8 more miles early this evening along the Snow Canyon Parkway. Stomach was growling for some odd reason.

Went with the team up to Pine Valley for our long run. We went on a new trail that I have never been on before. It was a lot of fun and dealt with some good climbing on the way back. Didn't go as far as I would have liked due to picking up some of the kids throughout the run.

10 miles this morning with the Circle. Always good times. Pretty tired from last night getting stuff ready for the team camp.

8.5 more miles with the boys. We did a 4 mile tempo run at AT pace. I tried hanging with the top boys but I was way too tired. I dropped back to push in some of the boys who needed a little extra push to finish. Solid workout for the team.

3 more miles up in Koosharem for the first run of our team camp. Team already saw one rattlesnake. Yeah!

5 miles this morning along the trails near the ranch. Ran along exploring things until I came to a giant field of cows. I had to turn around.

Went with the team up to Fish Lake and ran around the lake. Close to 9000 feet elevation made for a great run right along the lake. It was really beautiful. We pushed the last mile or so but it was nice to get in the lake and cool off after wards.

3 more miles this afternoon with the team on some trails near the cabin.

5.5 miles total this morning for our fun relay workout. We had a fun field of hay and did 4x800m repeats within a five person team. We got to jump hay bails and it turned out to be quite a lot of fun.

3 more miles in the rain this afternoon. Lots of fun with these cooler temps.

Planned on doing more before our long run but I was very exhausted from all of the camp activities and not getting that much sleep. 

We took the team across the road and went towards the Paiute ATV trails. We ended up doing 10+ miles round trip with about 2000 feet of climbing in just under the first five miles. We saw more snakes which wasn't good but it turned out to be an incredible run for everyone. We were able to look over into the valley and see some great views.

I ended up having to stay back and save a dog that ran with us. It got really dehydrated and needed to lay down in the river and rejuvenate itself. This made the run go longer than I originally planned but the dog survived and all is well.

Very happy with the way camp went. We ended up having over 60+ people total and had some incredible runs over the last half of the week. Really got me excited to see what is going to happen throughout the season. The kids are very excited as well.
