Ran with Sasha, Jeff, and Hyrum this morning. We ran 3 with Hyrum and then went out for more. I turned around at 2.5 while Jeff and Sasha continued on. By the end, my right quad was pretty sore. I'm pretty sure I need new shoes. Total time was around 63 minutes (7:52/mile).

It was Sasha, Jeff, and Josse this morning. I ran 0.25 to Sasha's and then did 7 with the group. I then ran home for another 0.25. Total time was 61:11 (8:09/mile). It was a nice easy run. My legs felt better.

It was cooler and windy this morning. Started out with 0.25 to Sasha's house. We then did 3 with Hyrum and Jeff. During the 3 miles Sasha started his 30x200m intervals he wanted to do to work on his form. Dropped Hyrum off and continued on with Jeff while Sasha continued his intervals. Finished with 0.25 to my house. Total time was 67:34 (7:57/mile). It was pretty windy when we started, but then the temperature dropped and it started sprinkling by the end. It was getting cold by the end with just shorts and a tshirt. The legs felt fine. No soreness in the quads.

Started with the usual 0.25 to Sasha's house. Then headed out with Sasha, Hyrum, and Jeff. Hyrum turned around after a mile because he had to get to work early. Continued on and turned around at 4. Jeff and Sasha continued on for another mile. Total time for the 8.25 was 68:58 (8:21/mile). Felt fine. It was a lot cooler this morning.
