It was really hot and the run was terrible but it got done.

Ran twice in SLC. The elevation and hills are a killer but its probably good for me long term.

Easy run on my own. I suspect I run a bit too fast when I'm alone ...

On my own again. My knee is feeling a bit tender so I'll have to keep an eye on that. Everything else seems fine.

No running ... the meet took FOREVER today and my knee has been a bit sore anyway. A day off will serve me well.

Ran with Oz in the afternoon and felt pretty good. No sign of knee trouble so hopefully taking yesterday off sorted that out.

On my own. I ran too fast based on how far I think that run is, but I never felt like I was pushing it at all. However, when you are alone and can't talk to someone the pace can get a little away from you and not really feel it.

Run with Oz. It was a nice day finally ... spring is here perhaps?

5 x 5 minutes and easy running to finish it off. Felt great and gave me a confidence boost.

5 x 6 min (2 minute recovery) with Ozzie. Started off a real slog but we got moving by the end of it.

1-2-3-2-1 (equal recovery) with Ozzie. He has a much higher VO2 than I do, but I think my threshold is higher. Things felt OK, but that kind of speed is not something I'm used to. At end my heart rate was 82 through 30 seconds and 142 through 60 seconds.

My knee was hurting a bit so not too much.
