Hot afternoon track workout at USU.  I went out at about 2:00 pm and I was grateful for the drinking fountains that were on at the track.  I think they are the only drinking fountains on in the whole valley!  I did 2x1600 meters with an 800 meter cool-down in between.  My first mile was 5:19 and my second one was a 5:16.  I felt pretty good for both repeats, a little better in the second one.   It is nice to know that the rest of the week is very easy until Saturday.  Total time was 41:10.

That's some pretty good speed James. I'm pumped for you guys this weekend. Good luck and enjoy these next few days of the taper. Go break 2:40 this weekend so you can get really crazy at STGM.

Good work you have done the work and now's the best time, the taper and eating tons of good stuff with a little junk mixed in. Have a great race!
