Spin class (intense... Woof!), yoga class (tight and sore... double Woof!!), and a 1000yd swim in the pool (maybe I should reconsider actually signing up for IM)

Track with St George Running Group.

5 lap warm-up, bunch of 100's at varying paces and techniques, 2 sets of 2x200, 2x400, 1x800, and 3 sets of stairs, and 2 lap cool down.

Interval pace for me was 6:15's and recovery was marathon pace for half the distance of the interval. We ran straight through each set with a 3 min rest in between sets. We were planning on 3-5 sets but Steve felt that we needed to cut it at 2. I think everyone was going out too hard, but me and another guy stayed to our pace and fell way behind the others. This was a tough workout because our recoveries were so short and we never really got to rest too much between intervals.

1 mile swim in Sand Hollow and a bike ride. Water was 58 degrees and a little windy on the bike. Can't decide if I'm going to sign up for IM in 2 and a half weeks.

Red Mtn 50k... We started with really warm temps. I had to finish this thing faster than planned so I didn't get stuck in the worst of the heat. I ran the trail portion slower than planned. It took me over 2 hrs to run the first 13 miles. At the transition from dirt to pavement I changed into my running shoes and picked up the pace. I was still thinking about how hard this race was after mile 26 so I worked on controlling my pace. I think I did okay. My longer mile times were due to hills and hanging out at the aid stations too long eating and talking.
