Met Scott, Reed and Toni at the Lone Peak track at 5am. I still think it's crazy that 4 nutters will meet at the track for a pain session at 5am. What a cool group! 3m warm up, 2m cool down. I was still feeling a little tired but much better than yesterday. I couldn't find any excuses not to do my prescribed workout (and I was searching)! 40 degrees and a slight north breeze made for near-ideal conditions. 6x1600 w/ 400m jog (about 2:30). (5:11, 5:10, 5:09, 5:09, 5:10, 5:05) Scott changed his mind about what he wanted to do after the first lap of the first interval and decided to join me. So grateful! The workout wouldn't have been what it was without him. The first one was a tough wake-up call. The next 3 were smooth and felt really good. #5 was harder. Scott's emergency break to the porta-potty afforded me a 4 minute recovery after 5 so #6 felt the easiest. I'm happy with the workout. I've wanted to hit this one for a while now and the stars finally aligned. I didn't dip into the reserves and even had a little left in the tank. Reed looked great out there too, he's really coming along. Scott, as always, was tough as nails...minus the stomach issues. PM: 7 miles easy on the Sandy dry creek trail. Felt surprisingly good.
