12 miles. Met Melanie at Will's Pit Stop 2 miles from the canyon and ran 2+ miles to the BYU track for a speed workout. I was encouraged that my leg felt good the whole first mile of the warm up and I didn't have to stretch until 1.25 miles and I made it another mile to the track just fine.
We ran 8 x 800 meters with 400 meter recovery. We also stopped and stood there, walking around for about 30 sec after each one before the 400 meter jog. 1st felt terrible 2:59, 2nd felt even worse as my leg ached 2:59 and I felt like I was going to throw up too. 3rd less aching leg but still felt like I was going to throw up 3:00. 4th wasn't as bad and I pulled out another 2:59, 5th I actually felt better than #2 and #3, 2:58, 5th I felt like I was finally in a rhythm 2:59, 6th feeling the same 2:59, 7th another 2:59, and 8th another 2:59.
As we finished the workout Melanie said she hates the track. I said, "Now you know how I feel about Suncrest. I think you feel about the track the way I feel about Suncrest."
