3/4 MILE REPS

I met Ben, Ken, Moss, Denver, and Matt at Smiths at 5:15. Denver and Matt went easy so they were only with us for a bit. The rest of us warmed up 4 miles and started the workout. It was 17 degrees out, which makes for a tough first few intervals, but once I got warmed up I was able to hit some quicker paces. I took 2:30 jogging rest.

Splits: 3:42.6, 3:39, 3:37, 3:38, 3:39.9, 3:40.6, 3:36.7, 3:33.4 for an average of 3:38.4 or 4:51/mile pace

AM: 10 miles easy in South Weber down to Weber River Path and back, avg pace 6:53/mile. I got out way later than normal, as we had two sick kids last night. One with a very high fever and the other with frequent trips to the bathroom with an upset tummy. Amy got less sleep than I did, but we both got very little. Nora's fever finally broke this morning, which is a relief.

PM: 4.3 miles easy in South Weber, avg pace 7:15/mile.

LONG RUN WITH 10 QUICK-PACED MILES AT GOAL MP+15

I met Ken, Bryant, Ben, and Taylor at the Country Park in West Haven at 6:30. We ran a short 4-mile loop back to the cars to drop off headlamps. Then we headed up Hinckley Dr. to the Rail Trail. We started a ten-mile pickup. Bryant and I targeted 5:30 avg. I didn't feel all that great. I was uncomfortable most of the run. I wasn't out of breath and my legs felt fine, I just felt blah...maybe it was staying up until 2:00 am playing the board game Puerto Rico with Denver, Dave, and Ken.

Anyway, despite not feeling the greatest Bryant and I hit the splits we wanted:

5:33 5:30 5:22 5:25 5:29 5:29 5:37 5:29 5:26 5:21 for a 5:28-ish avg. Miles 2.5-6 were aided slighty; the rest of the miles were quite flat.
