TRACK WORKOUT -- LEHI HIGH SCHOOL

Great morning for a track workout. Chilly, but not too cold. Slighty breezy, but not bad at all. Ran with Mike, Chris, Reed, and Toni.

Did 5k, then 3200m, then 1600m (with 800m slow running between intervals). The plan was 5:20 pace for the 5k, 5:10 pace for the 1600m, and 5:00 for the 1600m.

Actual splits:  5k: 16:36 (5:19 pace), 3200m: 10:18 (5:09 pace), 1600m: 4:55

Felt very good. Quads are still sore from the past couple weeks, but that is not unexpected. The guys looked great. And, in case any of you had any doubts to the contrary, Mike is absolutely back! He looked great. He and I worked together the entire time (taking turns leading every 800m).

Love the 3-2-1. Thought about the "good hurt" y'all were feeling this morning. Very good splits and execution of this. Madeithappen

Great workout Matt! That looks like a tough one. I promise I never had doubts about Mike :)
