Total Distance
13.00

Warmed up with usual warmup loop and drills and strides the did 6 x 2k on the road with 90 sec jogs (about 8 min pace). Splits were 6:43, 6:45, 6:43, 6:46, 6:46, 6:38 (kicked last 1/2 mile or so). I felt really good and while this was a tough workout I felt like I still had something left in the tank.  I ended up averaging 5:41 pace for 8.43 miles including the jogs during the workout portion of my run. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the Utah guys at the Phoenix races this weekend. I'll be doing the half but as of right now my plan is to run it as part of a longer run and only run some of it hard. We'll see if I can execute that plan.

Great early morning workout!

Thanks Riley. It was VERY early. I'll probably see you in a few days. Hope your health and knee make turns for the best.

Yeah I figured it was VERY early since you had the post up when I woke up at 5:40.

If you have an easy double scheduled by chance on Thursday let me know. Dave Jason and I are planning four miles easy Thursday afternoon or evening.

Thanks Riley. I am running 15 that morning but may still want to join you guys. If so I'll contact you via some form of social media.
