Hodge podge of a workout today. Since I was unmotivated but really wanted to get something quality in, I went with my go-to workout on such occasions - 10 x 200 at no particular pace with a 200 walk/jog recovery. I don't have a time goal because I don't run 200s often enough to have a goal. Generally I end up starting out at 38 or 39 and working my way down as close to 30 as possible. Today I was able to top out at 30.39 on #9. I was desperately trying to break 30.

I like 200s for the same reason the kids I coach like them. 

I also did some Sugar House Park loops including one loop with Andy. It's pretty warm out and he's a trooper. He saw his teacher running and that motivated him. He likes her.

10 point two-five on the P-Rock. Felt less than spry.

11 miles from the Alta Lodge to the Albion Basin Campground, 9 campground loops, and back down. The summer road does not open until July 11 and I'm not sure why. It's really quiet at the top as a result. I left at 7 am and saw one hiker and one moose the whole time.
