Ten miles in the concrete suburban jungle of Sandy Utah with some of my distance runners.

I'm going to do some quality runs this week but also reduce my mileage a little bit. I want to focus on rest, recovery, and getting a little extra sleep.

Busy day...

Managed 8.25 on the treadmill at lunch working up to 5:56 pace. 

Oh yeah, If I get approached by one more goofball at the gym trying to spread the gospel of the Vibram Five Fingers I'm not going to be responsible for my actions. Three times now! Twice was the same guy but still. 

PM: 6.25 miles around Liberty Park on the squishy wood chip path.

Got to the gym at about 7 AM and hopped on the treadmill.

Warmed up for 3.25 miles starting out at 10 minute pace and working up to about 6:15 pace.

Then I did 7 X 1 mile on the treadmill with a 1/4 mile jog recovery interval. Kept the incline at 1.5% on the intervals and 2% for the warm-up and recoveries.

Times for the miles...

6:00, 5:56, 5:52, 5:48, 5:45, 5:41, 5:15

OK, I cheated and lowered the incline to 1% on the 5:15.
