1 mile warmup. Headed to a track by our house to do 10x400 (my first interval workout in years!). I was going to aim for 90 sec per 400. Started my first 400 and realized the dirt track was short-probably about 300 meters is all. So I set my Garmin to beep every 0.25, and jogged 0.15 for my rest inbetween.

Man, it hurt to be back. Even 10 400s! Guess it goes to show how much work I still have left to do, but also feels good to have a starting point as well.

Here are the splits: 1:33, 1:34, 1:37, 1:38, 1:36, 1:29, 1:32, 1:32, 1:35, 1:36 (1:34 average)

So it looks like 1:35 per 400 should have been my goal. But I think I realized that after the first 2. Hoping to get more consistent. I hadn't been on a track doing a workout from probably almost 4 years at least. It will be fun to see how I can improve on this as I continue to get my fitness back.

1 mile cooldown.

Run up to Mountain Road, over to Cherry Hill, and back to Nichols back to the Harvey house. Definitely feeling the elevation and slight cold that I have. But so nice to be on vacation and run with Cameron.

Met up at Katie's house with Amy and Sariah. Sariah and I headed out and pushed Aubrey. Sariah was too nice and pushed Aubrey a good amount of the time. Headed up the big hill and over to Shadow Valley and back to Katie's. Rainy run but so fun to catch up with friends. And one of my better runs post-baby.

44:39 overall time, 8:16 pace (included my walk breaks), 550 calories.

Firebreak road in Fruit Heights, UT. Pretty good climb to get up to the road. Ran for 3 miles, hit a dead end and decided to mountaineer our way down to the trail. As far as running goes-very slow, but it was nice to get out and enjoy a run with Cameron and throw some hiking into it.
