AM: LONG INTERVAL REPS: 6X3K WITH 1K MODERATE PACED REST

I met Ken and Ben at Kneaders at 4:50 then Dave, Jared, and Henry at 5:00 at Ken's office. We hit the restrooms then started the warm-up. We warmed up 4k to Beus Trailhead. Then started the workout. It went really well. I was hoping for a 5:10/mile average and I ended up with 5:11/mile, so really close. Splits: 9:39 9:38 9:43 9:39 9:46 9:34 Avg of 9:39.8 or 5:11/mile. 2k shuffle at 8-9:00/mile pace cool down and then immediately drank a protein Ucan to start the recovery process. Good times this morning!

PM: 5 miles after work with Jared and Taylor from Harmon's in Roy, avg pace 7:13/mile.

AM: 8.85 miles easy in South Weber with Matt, avg pace 8:06/mile.

PM: 5.15 miles easy on Centennial Trail, avg pace 7:18/mile. I stepped on a small snake, which startled me a bit. But it was just a tiny fella and he's ok. No harm, no foul.

14-MILE QUICK PACE TEMPO (DOWNHILL TRAINING FOR STG)

I ran a 4-mile warmup, 14 miles at 5:15/mile, and 4-mile cool down for a total of 22.1 miles at 6:04/mile pace. We ran down Monte Cristo again and the weather was perfect. I felt substantially better than last week and the first ten miles felt easy.
