Moderate Monday Fail

Met at 5 with Ken, Riley and Matt. Did one loop around the Hospital then came back for Denver.

Started the progression which is our normal Monday Route. I felt pretty tired to begin the day but still had a pretty solid run going though 10 miles. Climbing from Riverdale Rd. into the terrace my legs just came off. Was heavy, tired, and just blah. So I threw in the towel for the progression. Jogged the last 4 miles back.

Not really disappointed with how the run went. My mileage is going up, and I had a solid 20 on Saturday which I'm sure had to do with the residual fatigue today. Anyways this is all mumble, still a solid 15 to start the day.

Progression splits- 7:55; 6:31;6:23; 6:11; 6:08; 5:56; 6:01; 5:53; 6:09; 713(hill mile).

Got to sleep in an extra 30 minutes today which felt great, but 5:30 is still stinking early. Drove to Smith's on Country Hills and did a solo loop around Ogden and South Ogden.

Legs felt surpisingly good today for a recovery run.

Out and Back on the canal road. Bit muddy on some spots, and  some snow but for the most part was quite enjoyable.

 2.60 mile warm

First time running this race and it was quite enjoyable. Not much to it, just a simple out and back, flat, easy to gage the pace. 

During the race the pack separated almost immediately by the first mile. After mile one I started working with Benjamin for about the first 5K. Then he started fading back a bit so I set my sight on Nate up ahead and was only 10 seconds back from him at the turn around. I stayed patient and eventually caught him a little after the 10K. Held that spot for maybe 2-3 minutes then he caught back up. We talked for a second and ran together til mile 8. He then gapped me a little bit. He ended up getting me by about 10 seconds. My overall goal was to come in around 50:00 minutes so I was a little off. But training is going well and fitness is going in the right direction so no excuses. 

Congrats to Riley for taking down Krongs course record, also on getting the Win for this race. 

4.20 mile cool down.
