Areobic Building Day

Met with Riley, Ken, Bret, Ben, Bryant and Jason Holt (4 of the top 8 from Saturday's TOU Half. Sick training group) at 21st street pond. 3 mile warm up then 8 miles pushing the pace. My splits on my watch were 5:50 5:57 5:56 5:53 5:56 5:48 5:57 4:49 (my watch had me hitting the measured 8 mile mark at 4:49 at .8 miles for the last split. My watch is alway off some but today it was bad need to get the Garmin 610 but waiting for christmas.) Averaging out my splits for the accurate 8 miles comes out to 5:48. That is 20 seconds per mile faster than the last time I did this workout two weeks ago. Making some solid progression. Snow Canyon is gonna be fun! Finished with just under 2 mile cool down.
