Big loop with Frritz from Creek Rd to the mouth of Little Cottonwood south on Wasatch to 1700 E, up to Dimple Dell and east around to 9400 S down Highland and back. Ran into Justin about 6.5 into it and stayed with him until 9400 S and Highland. Lots of tough hills. There was going to be a 6-8 mile MP tempo in there but the route didn't really lend itself to a tempo. Also,  I died somewhere in mile 14 and somehow a steep climb revived me. Still managed to get the pace down in the last 5 with it being quite downhill. 2:14:08 or 6:36 average for me with almost 1500 ft of hills.

Nice day and nice to be above the inversion for a lot of it.

Now for a down week and some relaxation after coming within 2.2 miles of my first 100 mile week.

Good running with you today. Best of luck as you gear-up for Boston and cheers to an awesome year of running for you.

I like this even more than the planned workout. A long run at the pace on that route is perfect.

Thanks Justin - nice talking to you a bit.

Jake - this was a nice cherry on top of a fun week :)
