TRACK WORKOUT -- LEHI HIGH SCHOOL

Big crew (~ 10 guys) for a track workout.  Mile repeats with 1-lap easy running between intervals.  Nate and I did 4; Mike did 2.5 (he wisely stopped because his calf was acting up).

 Splits:  4:59, 4:55, 4:57, 4:52 

Felt great.  Warm morning, but a good one for a track workout (not very windy).

2 easy miles in Provo. Cut the run short because my knee is bothering me (started yesterday). Taking the rest of today and tomorrow off to be careful. It is semimembranosus tendinitis (Sorry, I'm only using medical terms for my benefit -- so that when I look back I know exactly what I was experiencing).

20.5 miles from my home with Nate, Mike, Reed, Chris, and Kyle. 20-mile loop through Alpine and Highland. Challenging course with plenty of hills. The goal of this run was a moderate sustained effort. Sort of was a progressive. First mile was 7:52, second mile was 6:59, and so on. Last several miles were at ~ 5:50 pace. 6:22 average for the whole run. I felt very good today. I was surprised at how comfortable the pace felt. And the knee felt good; definitely thankful for that. Great run, great company, and great conversation.

At about mile 14, we ran into Justin Park! He had just won the Timp Half! Congrats to Justin! He humored us by "warming-down" with us to my house. He looked great. I would have struggled to run that pace after winning a half marathon. Then, I drove him back to Lone Peak High School so he could receive his award. Talk about a class-act human being!
