20x1 MIN ON/OFF 10x30 SECONDS ON/OFF

I met Ben and Matthew at Smiths for a workout. We warmed up just over two miles and started into the workout. I ran 20 one minute pickups with 1 minute jog rest followed by 10 30-second pickups with 30 second jog rest. I averaged 4:35/mile pace on the 1-min pickups and 4:21/mile pace on the 30-second pickups.

On the second rep, I had by far the closest encounter with almost getting hit by a car that I've ever had. Car ran stop sign and came within 2-feet of me. But I still hit pace on that rep :) I think it scared the driver as much or more than me.

LONG RUN

I met Ben at 2nd and Harrison. We dropped his car off and drove mine to Rainbow. Bret met us there and ran the first 3.5 miles with us before he headed home. Ben and I ran from Rainbow along the canal road to Weber High School. Then we ran up to the top of North Ogden and hit the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. It was pretty dry for awhile, but at the highest 2.5 miles at 5,800 feet elevation we hit some deep snow. We were post-holing for two miles in knee-deep snow. Needless to say that killed our overall average pace. We ran that to the divide and then back along Mountain Road to Ben's car, avg pace overall 8:24/mile. Pace for the 19 miles that weren't in knee-deep snow was 7:31/mile.

It was fantastic weather and a beautiful morning. Minus the snow for 2.5 miles it was a glorious, spring trail run.

I ran from my parents' house up the Burch Creek trail connecter to Beus Canyon, up Beus to BST, ran that to Taylor, down to Gibs, through Beus Pond, and back, avg pace 7:28/mile.

The trails, even the higher ones were pretty clear and runnable, with a few exceptions on some Northern-facing slopes.
