3 * 2 Mile Repeats w/ 3 minutes active rest.
Met a MASSIVE group of guys in South Ogden. Did a just over 3 mile warm up with the 4 Stride outs.
I had no specific goal for today as my right calf has been very fatigued, but I thought 5:20s would be a good goal.
Splits
10:56 (5:15 5:41) I blew up this mile. It felt like I was running through sand and I had a mental lapse. I vowed I would not let myself give up or give in on this workout. I decided to slow my first mile and really put myself in the hurt locker.
2:55 (.32 mile 9:08 pace)
10:54 (5:27 5:27)
3:11 (.35 mile 9:06 pace)

2.88 mile cool down very slow
I did not feel great but I pushed myself. Riley and I were discussing that sometimes you get more benefit from pushing it when you are tired then you do when you feel great. I will be faster and I will improve!​

PM: 4 pushing Hannah (Riley's 2nd) in the stroller and 1/2 mile with Evie running doing her Marathon.
