Perfect Saturday morning. Great group, good workout, perfect weather. I couldn't really ask for more. To name a few: Scott, Toni, Brandon, Reed, Dave, Melody, Chris... and more! 2 out n' backs. One on the Murdock trail to the north. One up Provo canyon. First leg was pretty easy pace, I think we averaged 7s for the first 10. The next 2 were 6:45 and 6:30. Then Scott and I upped the pace for the next 3 ( 6:13, 6:05, 6:12 ), these were into the wind and slightly uphill so the effort was pretty close to my MP so I'll call them MP miles. We waited for a minute or the so at the top to regroup with Brandon and Reed and then started down. Scott said 5:20s. I thought he was joking. He wasn't. Next 3 (5:19, 5:19, 5:18). I started to feel it after 3 so I backed off for a 1/4 mile. Next two were 5:50, 5:45. It was a good workout. Legs were pretty fresh after 3 days off but I still wasn't feeling 100%. I think I'm out of the hole, just need to be careful the next 2 weeks and avoid digging a new hole. 1.25 miles of grass loops slow for a cooldown. Brandon and Reed looked super strong today. Scott was a monster, as usual. Dan ran 20 miles! |
