Ran with JAJAK this morning from Highland.  A bit sore and tired from yesterday's race but that should probably be expected.

Before the run there was a Rob siting.  I can't quite understand why he had decided to wake up at 3 and run 30 miles on the treadmill while watching Sportscenter.  So, if you have any questions about what happened in sports yesterday Rob should know.

Ran trough Holladay 6200 S. and back.  I saw Jake and Andrea running the other direction for the first time 2 years.  Today I am presenting on the cost of stocking out.  Exciting stuff.

Ran around Sugar House then ended up at the Highland track for a mini mini workout of 4 x 400 at about 70 seconds.  Pales in comparison to Riley's 31 at around 67 but it's a start.  All this talk about workouts/practice reminds me of Iverson's famous words of wisdom.

"We are in here talking about practice. Not, a game, not a game, we are in here talking about practice....what are we talking about?  Practice? We ain't talking about the game.  We are talking about practice."

Cross training at the gym.  Instead of running the Susan B. Komen 5k tomorrow with a bunch of people in pink I have decided to run my own 5k on the track.

Got a late start which is typical when I am not running with a group.  I saw Rob as I passed Highland on my way to the track at around 11.  He figured I was just finishing up my run but little does he know that my late starts actually have a better training effect because it's hotter outside, plus I don't have to run as far to get a tan.

Jogged a couple of laps then started my 5k.  I know my first split was around 5:05 and I finished in 16:19.  This means I slowed a lot in miles 2 and 3.  Not a great run but it still served it's purpose of shocking the system at an uncomfortable pace.  Last year I ran a 16:45 5k the week before Ogden and my last track 5k was 16:33 so at least this an improvement over those.  Now the big question is, should I run the first 5k at Ogden at a faster pace?  Last year my first 5k was 16:33 which was plenty fast so I think the answer is NO.  Ogden should be negative split and a super fast first 5k wouldn't help me do that.

Cooled down on the track for a mile then wandered around Sugar House.

Afternoon ran around the block to see if that will help my legs feel better tomorrow.  It's just a test.
