AEROBIC BUILDER

I met up with Dave and Jason at the pond for my first builder on the official Ogden Crew Aerobic Builder course. I was pretty excited to see what I could do and find out where my fitness is at. After a 2-mile warmup with one stride we were off. I ran 8 miles in 45:25, which is like a 5:40 avg/mile. I was really happy with the effort. Jason ran extremely well, in the low 5:20s, his best ever. I'm excited to see what he can do at Phoenix Marathon.

Splits: 5:50.2, 5:44.7, 5:37.3, 5:43.6, 5:44.1, 5:42.3, 5:39.6, and 5:23.9 (overall avg clearly benefitting from last mile)

After the run, I did core exercises, hip exercises, pushups, and some lower body lifting

8 easy miles with Dave, Albert, and Denver, avg pace 7:44/mile. It was a rough night last night in the Cook house. I was up for almost three hours from 1:00 AM to 4:00 AM with my daughters, then up at 5:00 AM to go run. Needless to say I was quite sluggish on the run, but I got it in.

I was supposed to meet the guys at 6:30 at the pond for a run, but when Evelyn came into our room at 6:50, I realized I had set my alarm wrong (PM instead of AM). So I headed to the pond anyway in case I run into them somewhere. I did run into Denver finishing off his 10 miles and ran the last 2.5 miles with him. Then I started into my fartlek section of the run up the parkway East toward the Canyon.
