Ran with Adam and Collin on pipeline then down the canyon for another 7 miles. I figured a few more downhill miles could only help for SGM.

Easy run with JP, Noah and new guy, Evan, from HHS through the U and Research Park and back.

On a sad note all three of my fantasy teams lost this week.

Track workout with JP, Adam and Noah at East High.

3x1600(5:10,5:09,5:05),2x800(2:30,2:28),4x400(72,71,71,69)

Felt pretty good about it. 1600s and 800s felt good but I really don't like 400s...probably means I need to fun them more often.  Afterwards I mowed my lawn. Hopefully I didn't wake up the neighbors.

easy day of crosstraining then 18 holes of golf at what might be the last season at Glendale. I think they could address the problem without closures if they priced according to demand rather than the same price for all courses. This would mean higher prices at Bonneville and Mountain Dell and lower prices everywhere else.

The golf game was respectable probably because I haven't played for a year and didn't over think it.

I ran the Utah Alumni 5K as the standard 5k pre race tune up for SGM. The race starts at ends at the Alumni House on campus so the course is fairly challenging (+/- 179 ft.). I ran a 4 mile warm up from my house to the race start in the light rain. The race got after just after 8:30 and suprisingly right out the gate I was alone. It's more typical in races like this that a few college guys get excited and take it out super fast. Fortunately the rain let up in the hour preceding the race but it came back with a vengeance right at the 1/2 mile point and it didn't let up throughout the race. By the end I probably added a few pounds of water weight. My first two miles were quick and then the hills in the last 1.1 miles and my soggy shoes slowed me down to ~5:30 pace.  The last 1.1 miles had three distinct hills and gained 110 ft and lost 63. I am fairly happy with the race and effort considering the course and conditions.  Now it's time to pair it back and taper for SGM.

Splits: 5:03 +33 ft., 4:56 -96 ft, 5:28 +63 ft. (1.1)

I ran the Kids K with my nephew after the race. I couldn't keep up at first because he went out a 6 min pace and almost fell on his face.  Finished with a 8 min pace, leg length adjusted must be ~5 min pace.
