El Burro Blanco

7 total miles this morning. Did longer Webb Hill repeats today. Did 6x1:00 min. with the girls. They are looking really strong.

6 more miles later this evening through Ivins. 7:12/mile. Felt good. Did some pickups towards the end which helped give some snap to the legs.

15.25 miles total this morning. Met up early with Steve to get a few miles in. Did another 1.5 with the club. Hopped in to the tempo today from the DC. Felt pretty good once I got started and was doing 5 miles total. Felt relaxed and smooth and then the 5th mile had a giant hill that zapped me a little bit. Finished with a 5:46/mile. The last mile hurt me but I can tell I am feeling stronger. Slowly coming back together. Cooled down after wards. Positive run.

4 more miles at practice with some of the new girls. Lots of positive stuff all throughout the TEAM. Very happy with this. Kids camp was a blast as well.

3 more miles this afternoon with Sage. He is a good cat!

6 total miles with the girls today as they did 12 minutes of tempo. Looked good.

Came back to the high school and did 1 mile of barefoot running on the turf. Felt good.

3 miles this afternoon with the TEAM from Little Valley Park. Not super hot.

7 miles out on Prospector with the boys. Spencer was a few minutes late and tracked us down to catch up. Seriously awesome!

6 more miles this afternoon from my parents. Cloud cover and slight breeze made it bearable. 7:12/mile. Hopped in pool and did 15 minutes of aquajogging.

5 miles total this morning. Did some of the workout with the girls at BHNP. Fartlek = 1, 2, 2, 2, 1. Good stuff.

Good long drive up to Huntsville for the weekend. Love holiday weekend traffic :)

Met up with Ben this morning and drove up to Monte Cristo and ran back down to Hunstville Park. Really nice of him to join me this morning and take a short break from the Ogden Crew. The temps were 49 degrees when we stepped out of the car. I could see my breath. Awesome!

I was going to do a progression run but switched it to do what Ben was doing. It seemed more fun :) Workout was 10 miles at sub 6:20, 3 miles of 1:1, 1 mile recovery at sub 6:20, 2 miles at marathon pace, and then cool down with all miles under 6:20. Felt good from the start even though I could feel the elevation. The cooler temps made a big difference. Hit right around 5:00 or just under for the 1 min. sections and then did 5:30 and 5:39 for the two marathon miles. I want to keep dropping that pace as the summer goes on. Felt good on the cool down. Hit 6:05/mile for the entire run. Super stocked after this one. Very positive step in the right direction.

Great to have Ben there with me. Fun to see him.
