16 easy along the parkway with James.

Left hip was bugging me a bit but not too bad and didn't get worse.

Took the Brooks Pure flows out for their maiden voyage. They felt tight through the mid foot for the first couple of miles but they loosened up and felt good. Probably had them laced a bit too tight. Just did my usual 6 mile loop with 1 quicker mile in the middle. Avg pace 7:34

Headed on a loop in the neighborhood and then out south along Wasatch Blvd up Little Cottonwood Canyon road to the first parking lot and then ran down the back side to 9400s. Then back along Wasatch to home. Wanted to test myself up the hill and then move into a tempo back down and along Wasatch. Was able to keep 6:50 or better for the 3.5 of tempo. 

Legs are starting to feel better again. Since Ragnar, my legs have felt sluggish every morning but it is going away and they are feeling better each day.

Woke up late! Decided to just take a nice easy run today and not care about my pace. Explored some of the neighborhoods east of Wasatch Blvd.

I also saved a baby humming bird while out on my run. Glad I decided to go for a run, otherwise, that bird was getting run over.

AM

Met James, Hille, Jake, Brayden and Laura at Liberty park. Drove to Little Mountain. Ran 3 mile warm up. Then did 5 fast miles. Splits were 6:10, 6:08, 6:10, 6:18, 6:18. Kept it under 7:15 for the next 4 miles. Had a great seat for the biker vs runner fight. Things got heated and I think James came out on top! Had to cut the run short so Cass could go on her hike with a friend. Hope to get out a little later to put in 5 or so more.

PM

Wanted to get in about 5 more miles and ended up doing 6.5. They were slow and HOT, but I got them in!

Headed to Brighthon High School for a track day. 3 mile warm up and then did 8 x 400 and then 2 x 800. I did a recovery of half the speed distance and then cooled down with 3 more miles back up Bengal Blvd.

Splits for the 400s - 90, 88, 89, 88, 84, 83, 85, 84

Splits for the 800s - 3:04 , 3:04

I wasn't super focused on my times and tried to maintain effort. I am happy to get it in and felt good most the time. The football team was there doing sprints and it was tough to watch them puking all over the place while I was running.

Wanted to run the 2 miles between the piers faster.

Hot and humid but tolerable.

Felt like crap this morning but decided to give it a go.

Legs were heavy, stomach was queasy, and head was dizzy.

Pulled the plug after 5.25 miserable miles.

7 miles is the pouring rain.

Running in the rain is one of my favorite times to run.

Ran up little cottonwood just past the park and ride lot. Then down past La Caille along wasatch to home.

Legs were already dead to start so the hills were slower than I was wanting. The 3 miles of tempo were fairly labored. Splits were 6:44 , 6:47 , 6:52. Splits two and three had about a .25 mile incline in them. Slowed me down a bit.
