Since Utah Running Guide had the Freedom Run listed as this morning I had thought I was going to run that, even registered for it, but when I was driving home last night I googled it and saw that it was Monday.  Oh well, that means a gym workout with some speed today before heading to the lake and then getting in my trail run over to Bear Lake tonight.  Need to shake out the sluggishness that has been stalking me for a month.  Schedule shows some speed work so I gave it a good effort..Lol!  3 miles at 6 minute pace followed by 3, 1 mile repeats at 5 min pace with 1/2 mile cooldown runs in between.  It feels like the distance training has cost me about 15% in speed right now, but I feel it's a necessary trade for the intervals that are coming up..

 

Off to sit on the boat for the afternoon and then hit the trail this evening..

Got in 24.6 tonight heading over to Bear Lake straight up from Mt. Logan above my home.  Just got in at 11pm. I didn't make it all the way before my ride showed up, but still a great day of training!
