AM: Fun 15 mile run from my house with a healthy crew: Scott, Zak, Mike, Toni, Reed, Chris, Brandon, and David. We initially met at the Orem soccer fields, with the intent of running up Provo canyon, but the chilling 30 mph winds deterred us, and we drove up to my house for our run.
Every once in awhile, it's good to be humbled (even though it's not fun). Well, I was humbled today. After warming up 9 miles, we did a 3-4 mile tempo. I did 4 miles at 5:22 average (5:14, 5:15, 5:26, 5:39 (hill). I'll admit it -- it was tough. It hurt. Scott and I essentially ran together. I got worked by Mike and Zak, who looked great. They did a 3 mile tempo in 5:14, 5:00, 5:00. Today was my first speed session since the Snow Canyon 1/2 (3 weeks ago). This is my first real week back running since my surgery. So, I guess the way I felt today is not unexpected. Still not fun though. Being humbled is a good thing :) The guys looked great today.
