Tried to run tempo on the flat part of the Traverse Mtn Elementary 5k course.  It didn't produce the results I was hoping for, but I will definitely run this course again.

Easy miles on the Murdock trail after dropping James off at practice.  I felt frustrated that what should feel "easy" is still so challenging.

Another day on Skyridge track.  It's easier for me to "sprint" on a track.  I ran the straight and jogged the curve.  It felt good.

Ran the Draper trail with Brynn.  The plan was to run 6 but since I was racing on Saturday and needed a restroom a couple of miles in, we accepted 5.21.  My legs felt heavy.  I really need to focus on speedwork and running through pain.

I reached my goal of finishing sub 70 minutes, thanks to Lisa who kept checking our pace, she did most of the talking, and positively encouraged me.  I walked through the aid stations where I mostly had water.  I had powerade and water at mile 4.  Now I can focus on the Big Cottonwood half on Sept 9th.
