Great group for a Monday run. Dave, Ken, Matty, Jason, Jared, and Henry met at Smith's off of 42nd and Harrison. Majority of the group did 8-10 miles while Ken and did the typical 15 mile Monday route.

Today officially marks the 1st day back into Marathon training. Looking forward to the longer miles, workouts, and hill repeats. Hoping I can nail my full potential in a fall marathon.

PM

4.51 miles after work around the Layton area.

Workout Wednesday

Met Ken and Kneaders left my car and headed to his office to start our warm. Good group this morning. Dave, Jared, Jason, Ken and I. This week we started our workout by Bues trailhead. Gave us an extra half mile before we hit some the rollers at the start. Helped alot to get into some type of pace before those hills came.

Workout was 7X2K @ 5:15 with 1K recovery @ 6:20.

Was on pace thru 3 sets then legs decided that they wanted to go at Marathon pace. Which is okay I guess. I will get quicker as these workouts progress, so I am not worried.  At the same time this is my first workout in over 3 weeks, felt good to get the legs spinning.

Overall avg pace on 2K was 5:25 min/miles, overall pace was 5:53 min/miles.

PM

4.11 miles on the Riverdale Parkway after work.

Had a solid group run down Monte this morning. My plan was to hit 6:20 pace for 22 miles. I got sucked in and went out quicker. Had 16 miles around 5:45 pace then jogged the last 4.5 miles at 7 min/pace. 

Overall run was great but legs felt like garbage the entire time
