6 miles in the morning. Ran 3 before running with the kids and then did 3 towards the bridge and back.

Another 6 miles this afternoon running with some of the kids. Easy day of running.

Track workout with some of the boys this afternoon. We did a 2 mile warm up, 3x1000m, and then a 2 mile cool down. I added a couple 200s with Darian to finish off the day. Hit 3:12, 3:11, 3:10 for the 1000s. The boys kept up with me.

Club run this morning with the Circle of Trust and Bill. Got it in and happy to put this one in the books. 10.20 miles. I guess we are doing the Lake to Lake Relay this weekend. I must have not been paying attention at all last week when Clyde and Dave were talking about it.

8 mile run with the boys today. We went over by Little Valley Park and then took a new dirt loop over to Arizona Strip and back around to the high school. I really like this route. We need to do it more often.

I have been tired in the mornings from working on stuff for graduate school. I need to get to bed earlier. 

Ran a track workout with Darian today. We did a 2 mile warm up, 6x200m, 1x1000m, 1x800m, 4x200m, and finished up with a 2 mile cool down. The wind was kind of a bear today but it was a solid workout.

9 miles this morning up towards the Arizona Strip.

1 mile this afternoon. Did a different kind of workout with the kids this afternoon so I couldn't run more.

Did the Lake to Lake Relay with the Circle and Aaron. I did legs 1, 5, and 8. I wanted to make sure I was nice and warm so I did a few miles before the guys came and picked me up. I did leg 1 starting at Gunlock and going to Highway 91. A Dixie State runner flew out to a large lead while I was sitting in 2nd place. His teammates drove by and yelled at me, "Game Over!" We were not half a mile into the race yet. I caught up to him by the first mile while Dave and Clyde drove by and yelled, "Game Over!" I had a good chuckle. I ran 6.07 miles in 5:16/mile. Solid start to the day.

Leg 5 went from Cotton Cove Park up the hill over towards the Bloomington Loop and ending at Man of War Bridge. 4.07 mile in 5:29/mile. Climbed for almost 2 miles.

Leg 8 started on our tempo loop and went over towards the Washington Dam Bridge. Good amount of climbing and then close to 2 miles on the dirt to finish with a good hill for 200 feet just before the exchange. 5:42/mile for 4.7 miles. 

Finished the relay in 1st place overall with a new course record by almost 20 minutes (the course was a mile longer also). Dave and I jumped into Sand Hollow where the water was 40 degrees. I sat in it for about 10 minutes and called it a day.

Happy to get in some solid fast miles. I can tell focusing on hills has helped but I haven't done as much on the road. Oh well! Focusing on some 50 milers right now. A great day running with the guys. Love being the third tier of the Circle.
