Run fast

Easy run with Josh partly along the SLC Marathon course and back through the wooded neighborhoods of Holladay. We ended with a loop of SHP on the new ashpalt path which has been years in the making.  Some day the tunnel under 13th East will be complete that I think will connect to a path that goes to the Jordan Parkway.  

Finished at the gym with 1 mile on the elliptical (both stairmasters are broken) and some stretching. Preventive maintenance is a good thing.

Elliptical and rowing machine at the gym.  I am not in great rowing shape but that's ok because I am not training for rowing races.

Track workout with Nate and Kevin, who fortunately made it back from Provo safely on Sunday morning.  5x1 with the plan to keep it at around MP and a quarter mile jog in between. Ended up with 5:15,5:14,5:14,5:13,5:06.  Nate and I would take turns running the first 800 at about 2:40 then we would pick it up for the last 800. I parked a bit further from the track so I could get in some extra miles. The legs felt pretty good today so the little hill up to my office was a cinch.

PM: 3.25 around my office. My new peanut butter has Omega 3s so I might start running more doubles.

5 TM, 5 Elliptical

PM: 1.25 mile warm-up then bootcamp. I think we were training to be football players today because my shoulders are now broken.

9 miles around Sugar House and the U. It's fall!

Ran with Nate and Josh from Highland over to Jake's loop for a simulated/free 5k and then looped back through Millcreek for a total of 15.  The temperature gauge said 37 at the start so it took several miles to get warmed up. Splits were 5:08,5:14,5:17 for a total of ~16:10. I felt rather sluggish and I didn't want to push it too much but at least it is much improved over the 16:55 I ran last year at the Chasing Tail 5k on the same Saturday. It's too bad they cancelled that race this year. I am looking forward to the easy week ahead.
