great workout Dave and especially at elevation! I think if you were with us you wouldve been right there with me. See ya next week.

Yes sir AB on Thursday. Looking forward to running with you.

Awesome work Dave! Not an easy one to do solo at 7000 feet. And look at that volume! Top of the mileage board. We've never had a member of the Ogden crew get the top spot! Lets see if it holds...

Who knows but I will enjoy my time at the top

Wow Dave I can't imagine doing that workout by myself that takes guts and a whole lot of motivation and you did it just two days after racing hard. Very impressive.

I was just trying to focus only on the next interval. Broke up the 20 miles very well. It actually went by rather fast. Looking forward to next next Saturday with you guys. Much more fun to do 20 wit the crew rather than solo.
