Damon and I went over to the Pineview track to run with the St. George crew at 6 am. We were a few minutes late so they were already on a warm up so we did our own. It was super windy and the weather looked pretty ugly at first. We did a workout with Steve Hooper, Dustin, and Dave. I did a 12x400 meter workout with 200 meter recovery. The other guys were doing 15 or 16x400 meters and I didn't want to do quite that many today so I had a couple of 400 meter recoveries to stay with them while they did an extra 400 interval. The 400s felt good until you came around the corner into the wind and then it felt like you were standing still sometimes. I wanted to do all of my 400s around 75 seconds and was pretty consistant for the most part until I had some nasty windy laps, but I pulled the last couple back in where I wanted them.

I ended up pretty close to averaging what I wanted to. Damon ran 4x400s and came on the cool down run. He went to High School with Dave and wanted to see him again. Other than the wind it was a good and fun workout. I have enjoyed running with the guys down in St. George, they are a talented and fun group of guys. We had a good visit after the run, in fact, after each run this week.

Damon and I went and checked Steve's store on my way out of town. We met Steve's wife Kendra and his three little kids. It is good to see someone who actually knows something about running open a store up, I wish Steve luck with it.
It was 84 degrees when we left St. George and 50 when we hit Ceder City, and 38 when we got home to Logan! Typical weather for this year, it will get blazing hot and then snow on us a few days later! |
