LONG RUN w/AEROBIC BUILDER

I met up with Jon, Albert, Ben, and Jason Holt for a long run at 21st Street Pond.  I wanted to get a long run in with some good quality mixed in.  I thought about shooting for a 4-3-2-1, but once I got going on the 4-mile pickup I realized my legs were still recovering from Thursday so instead I did a 4-mile pickup and then a 2-mile pickup.

We warmed up three miles and then Jason and I started the 4-mile pickup.  We were on our own the rest of the run as the other guys turned around at 6 miles.  Jason and I ran the first 4-mile pickup at 5:41 5:25 5:27 5:24.  Then after a 1.5 mile rest (and two pit stops for me - my stomach was really hurting this morning) we did a 2-mile pickup in 5:13 5:06.  After that we called it good and just ran easy the rest of the run.

Nice week Riley. I am so envious of your speed and your ability to run so much quality within a short amount of time. You'll be putting the hurt on at UV 1/2. It'll be fun to watch (eventhough the only thing I'll be seeing is your backside for first 1/2 mile or so).

Nicely done Riley! And an even better job listening to your body.

Awesome run! Esp with a solid week all around! UV1/2 is going to be super competitive. From what I know, we gots you, kotter, krong, hales, iain hunter, matt poulsen, mike nelson, me, karl siebach, Justin Park, josh rohat??? and my old roommate from UVU. Don't know if any africans are in there but sure looks like a fun group to race with! You will have a great run. What a solid week of build up.
