Easy on the parkway with Josh. Legs felt heavy the first couple of miles, but then they loosened up a bit. Our morning group is dwindling but JJ is holding strong.

Track workout this morning solo. Josh was doing hill repeats and I never heard back from Scott. Thanks to Jake for suggesting this workout. I feel good about the execution and the splits. Goal was 1600, 1200, 800, 400, 4x200. Start at roughly 5k pace or slightly faster and drop the pace with each interval. Active recovery of half the previous split distance and then straight into the next repeat. 3200 warmup and 3200 cooldown as well.

Memory Grove / Avenues loop with Josh. Legs felt less than snappy. Fatigue attributed to yesterday's workout, so I must have done something right...presumably.

I thought this post on KSL was rather clever, yet maybe a little too long.

Hit snooze on my alarm and contemplated just staying in bed. I didn't sleep well and started to make the argument that sleeping an extra hour would be better and that I would get a run in later. Then my logical side rebutted stating there is no way I would get a run in later this evening. Also, I always regret sleeping more and never regret a run. I was lying there lacking motiviation. Then, the thought came to me that a trail run would be fun and a change of pace. So, on came the trail shoes, which I don't wear often, and I logged some miles on the dirt.

A few of us, maybe more, are going to do a final test or primer for DesNews on Saturday. Don't know exactly what to expect for that race yet. Hope to have a better idea after Saturday.

Along the parkway with Josh and up into my neighborhood. Gnats seemed to be worse on the way out. Pleasant breeze on the way back. 

I have been informed by several family members that my profile photo is "too revealing" and that I should remove it.

Good run with a couple really good pushes. Had a group of 5 of us - John, Jake, Brayden, Scott, and I.

Ran down emigration to liberty park. Did a push of 5 miles with John. Did another 1 mile pickup along south temple and then a half a mile last effort at mile 19.
