AM:  TRACK WORKOUT -- LEHI HIGH SCHOOL

With Mike and Toni.  4-mile warm up (and a couple laps of strides), 2 mile warm down. Temperature was good, but it was windy! Wind makes for a tough track session.

Did 2 x 3200m repeats (with 1200m jog between intervals).  10:28 (5:13, 5:15), 10:25 (5:16, 5:09).  Felt good.

PM:  6 easy miles with Spencer in Draper

10 easy miles with Brandon and Mike (up and down Provo canyon). That canyon is such a fun place to run in.

Unusual day off for me. Very little sleep (work-related). Decided to skip the run today. Very unusual for me, but I felt it was the best decision.

Had a decent race. I felt very strong. Just building fitness, and enjoying the process. I love how competive these Winter Series races are.  Weather was great today:  great temperature, occasional winds (but not bad).

There were 4 runners in the lead pack until the turn-around (4.65 miles).  The lead pack consisted of Bryant, Jake, John Coyle, and me. At the turn-around, Bryant made a strong move.  I stayed with him until about mile 5. John Coyle had dropped back a bit. Bryant then gapped the group slightly. I stayed with Jake through mile 6, but I didn't quite have the fitness to continue that pace (miles 5 & 6 were both 5:10).

My 10k split was 32:27

I slowed down quite a bit, but not ridiculously so.  I was very surprised to see John fly by me with a 1/2 mile to go (I hadn't heard any footsteps or breathing; there was a bit of a headwind here, so that may be why). I never looked back once, and in retrospect, I probably should have once just to check where he was. He went by me very fast. I didn't quite have it to catch him. My hat's off to him. I don't remember the last time I was passed in the last 1/2 mile of a race. It's been a very long time. It's good for me though. I learned some things today. Always room to learn and grow. I definitely left it all on the course today:  I was exhausted when I finished!

My splits:  5:17, 5:12, 5:16, 5:15, 5:10, 5:10, 5:24, 5:25, 5:20, 1:43 (.35)
