Leisurely run through Holladay with Nate and Josh.  A mile or two of the run were on roads never ventured which made it very exciting.

Meandered my way around Millcreek.  Tomorrow is the first big track workout at the U's track starting at 6:30 AM.  Everyone is welcome to join us (me, Kevin, Adam and Nate)

First track workout in who knows how long. Jogged to the UofU track to meet up with Adam, Kevin and Nate. The gate wasn't open when we got there so Adam and I jumped the fence. Adam said it was ok because he works at the U.

Workout was as follows: 2x400 (74,74) 2x800 (2:30, 2:33), 2x1600 (5:13, 5:16), 2x800 (2:31, 2:33), 2x400 (71,70).  I need to practice using a normal watch so these could be off by +/- 2 seconds.  Splits weren't great by any means but I did get in a good effort and I didn't tweak anything. 

The UofU track is super nice and the views are awesome. Plus the four of us had the track to ourselves which seems a little odd considering it sits on a campus of 25,000 students. It's too bad these guys weren't around to race.

AM: 7 miles on TM at about 6:30 pace then 4.5 on stairmaster. 

PM: 1 mile on the TM before bootcamp. I am sure the workout will leave me super sore tomorrow but I think it's worth it.

Hamstring is a little sore so I didn't want to aggravate before the weekend run.

First time down in the UC in quite some time.  It was great to get out there with the crew, i.e. Scott, Matt, Brandon, Toni, Bryce and Zak, again and run the standard 10 up and down Provo Canyon. We averaged 6:53ish on the way which was a bit faster than usual then started the tempo down.  At the start I really wasn't sure how long I would hang with the guys and how long my hamstring would hold up.  Ended up with only a four mile tempo (5:10, 5:07, 5:01 and 5:18) then backed it off while Matt and Zak sped down the canyon for another four. Fortunately I ended the run in as a good as shape (minus the tired legs) as I started which bodes well for the next few weeks while prepping for SGM.  The whole crew looked super strong today and the conversation was productive.  We came up with the genius idea to nominate Toni as a swimor underwear model.  The guy is ripped.
