Ran the new section of the BST up above my parents place where me and my family are staying til we find a new home. Run was pretty cool, goes high enough where you run a mile of it in the pines. 

Good start to the week.

TRACK WORKOUT

Met Jon and Jason up at Smiths off of Country Hills. Proceeded to a 3 mile warm to Bues Pond with some strides.

Workout today was 20X400. Jason and Jon were doing 10X800.

Looking at my splits afterwards, looks like I lost count and ended up doing 21 repeats. Oh well, good for the soul right!?!

My goal was to hit around 71-72 pace since it is the first workout since Des News Marathon

Rest plan was a little over 200 jog ended  up being about 1:1 or just barely over.

splits were- 69;71;71;71;71;70;71;71;71;72;70;69;72;71;74;70;70;71;69;70;67

Solid workout today! Avg splits were 70.5 which is 4:40 pace

cool down was 2 miles

total mileage for the day was 12.70 miles

Met Jon in North Ogden at Lees Market Place. Headed out west a little bit, then came back east up to mt road and looped back by weber high.

Legs are pretty tired today, as to be expected. Great mileage this week so far, hopefully I can finish it strong.
