I was tired and sore when I woke up this morning.  I think that Monday's runs hammered me pretty good.  I didn't even want to run this morning but forced myself out the door.  I wanted to do a track workout, but I didn't think I would feel so trashed today.  However, I knew that if I didn't do a workout that I wouldn't get one in the rest of the week.  I haven't been to the track since I ran with the St. George running club over a month ago.

I slowly made my way down across town to the Logan High track, since the USU one is gated off (because the old people from Arizona over use the inside lanes).  I warmed up with a couple of striders on the way down, they seemed to help loosen me up.  I wanted to do 5x800 meters with 400 meter recoveries, but ended up changing things up since I felt so hammered.  I did 4x800 meters with 400 recovery, 400 meters, and 3x200 with 200 meter recovery, and then I was done.  My times were:  2:38, 2:37, 2:36, 2:30, 1:12, :33, :34, :32.  I was glad that I was still able to run semi-normal times with being so tired and all.  I had the same problem that Paul had on Monday, sloppy form.  I was either too sloppy or would catch myself running too tight, but hopefully I worked a few bugs out.  I cooled down to home, just over 2.5 miles.  I need to start hitting the track every week and not just once a month from now on.  I feel a lot better now then I did this morning before I ran.  I must have just missed Paul and Cody.  1:08:34

Yeah, the canal comes into Pleasant View, North Ogden, and eventually all the way to 12th street in Ogden. Nice trail to run on. Take care.

Too bad we missed each other. I left at about 6:45 I think. Good workout though!

James the air down here is pretty good. Most of the smoke is blowing away from town. Tony is just some older guy who comes to the track and did his 800's in like 3:11. It's nice right now. It rained for like 30 min's and now I can't let it pass so I'm going out on a run.

Can I convince you to ever do track workouts in the evening?
