Turn your rut into a groove.

pm--8 I had one of those terrible days. Not only did frustrating things happen, I consequently missed practice and didn't react well. By the way, if you're reading this, sorry, Dave. Needless to say, it took me a while to talk myself into a run. I finally decided to have some fun. In an act of payback, I spied the DH workout and ran a modified Michigan on the tready. Albeit the paces were more like 10k and half than 5k and 10k. The tready was @ 1.5%. I ran 1 mile warm-up, 1600 @ 8.5, 2000 @ 8, 1200 @ 8.7, 2000 @ 8, 800 @ 8.8, 2000 @ 8, and 400 @ 9, followed by .75 cool-down. The workout itself was roughly 10k in 45:05. Nothing too quick, but it was still work. Today was a good day. 

pm--5 An easy run. The body felt decent, but the laid-back effort was needed. 

pm--5 2 x warm-up loop, followed by Green Springs pillar house w/ the girls. I haven't run w/ them for a few days. It was fun to get back. 

pm--6 A bit extra on the warm-up loop, followed by Harts and then Hotnails, sandwiched around the 2-mile time trial. After the run, we hit 4 x 200m--38, 36, 35, 37. Smoked JP and Stoner on the 2nd one. The weather was almost chilly this afternoon. 

pm--6 A nice little run to Starbucks. I double backed w/ Aubrey and Meg for a tiny bit more. Finished w/ striders. Looking forward to a decent longish run tomorrow.  

pm--10 A nice run up to Snow Canyon Parkway and back w/ a quick stop @ SCHS to measure some grass loops for future training. Felt good the entire run. Finished off the run w/ 2 miles @ ~ 7:30 pace.
