Tried to go to the Oval for a workout, but it was closed for Speedskating all week. If only the website had highlighted that fact before I drove out to Kearns. I guess I'll go the Utah Fieldhouse later today. Yesterday on my run I watched a news truck drive by and thought to myself "it would be cool if they stopped and interviewed me about running during the inversion." Then I saw the truck pull over and the camera guy set up, the reporter asked me to stop and I talked about running outside during this muck. Then I left and the camera guy ran behind me to get a nice shot of me running away. Facebook link to the Video
Well I headed down to the fieldhouse to knock out an 8 mile tempo, did 2.5 up with the jog to the FH and another mile on the track. Did a set of plyos then jumped into it. Definitely not easy, but by the end of the 8th mile felt like I could have made it another mile if needed. First mile was 5:53, then steady to slightly faster where the last two miles were at 5:45 pace (didn't get exact splits). For a total of 46:27, felt good about the workout especially in the tight confines of the indoor track and a bit of a cough from all the crap in the air.
