8.25 miles around Sugarhouse park (1:02:45).

Had a nice meeting after school today with my returning cross country boys. We will have a very good team in the fall that will be able to challenge the best teams in the state.

AM: Two mile morning constitutional. took some time to smell the flowers.

I had a smoothie this morning for breakfast. I will share my recipe for the second time...

1 to 1.5 bananas, some frozen blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, some cranberry-pomegranite juice, two tablespoons of wheat germ, one huge scoop of Muscle Milk protein powder, a bunch of plain yogurt or Greek yogurt.

Blend. 

Workout this afternoon.

6 X 1 mile (on the treadmill) with 1/4 mile walk/jog interval. Splits were as follows...

5:45, 5:45, 5:45, 5:45, 5:45, 5:45

Pretty consistent.

Plus a few miles warming up and cooling down.

Good gully run today. Started out with an easy 4 miles with some of my cross country runners then did the 7.25 mile gully long run by myself in 56 minutes. Pretty fast for the gully.

Did a light weight workout after.
