AM - 16 Big Workout #7 warmup, 2 miles Tinman, 6xmiles at LT (5:30), then cool down.  This is basically the Big I missed as I was tapering for Provo, so while Clyde and Logan had an idea on this one, I didn't no how hard it would be.  Plus, I was still worried about how my legs were going to do this morning.  I iced up Tuesday, have been using the stick and doing whatever else I can to try and get my legs back, but they still seem toast, so I wasn't sure what I would get out of them today.  The Circle met nice and early and got started with easy warmup and then a Tinman that was more of a Scarecrow.  We did the miles up and down between the overpass bridge and the golf course from the DC.  1-5:27, 2-5:29, 3-5:29, 4-5:28, 5-5:27, 6-5:28.  Somehow I hit all the times.  I am happy I was able to make it and just kept thinking that each one I hit was going to make me that much better.  The structure and definition of this program has been grueling, but I know it will be rewarding.  (Startus Bee 258.05)

afternoon - 3 Harts and big loops.  Way easy run with the kids as the warmed up for repeats and cooled down with them.  It was wierd to go just three - but nice.  The legs wouldn't have wanted to do more anyway.  (Startus red 517.35)

What are you and Logan doing for a run on Saturday morning up in Provo? If its not too hard, maybe I can tag along. I am only planning on 16 or so.

Nice workout, I agree with Adam that you guys are beasts!

Would you care if we switched the dual meet to Tuesday the 16th instead of Wednesday the 17th? We are going to the Cross Creek meet on Thursday and I would like to give the kids a rest day in between the races. Also, after talking with Clyde we think it would be a good idea to do the big workout on Wednesday instead of tomorrow.

Dave,

Lets do the meet at 4pm on Tuesday next week. We need to really get a course squared away.
