Right hamstring was not feeling great yesterday, stretching and stick made it more tolerable today.  No pain but still tight, I guess? It just felt off, I'll keep on it and hopefully have it all worked out soon.  Still time for a workout, with a planned tempo during the long run on Saturday I decided to do my 4 mile tempo then the hill workout of doom today, and planning on 5 or 6 by mile on Thursday.

I have put together that one mile uphill is not an ideal warmup and will be adjusting that in the future.  My times were around the norm for the 4 mile tempo, legs felt a bit stale but got going pretty quickly.  5:54, 5:29, 5:31, 5:32 then a little over a mile easy to the start point for the hills.  Starting from I St. and S. Temple did 7 intervals climbing 900 feet in about 2.5 miles including the short rest breaks. It felt very hard, but I always remember Rule Number Zero and push through.  Then jog from the top of Terrace Hills back to the house.

Garmin Route because I think it looks cool.

Nice adding the hills at the end.

I was actually going to suggest you knock off a mile reps workout a little over a week out from Canyonlands. Good thinking. That's really a great workout to get primed for a half.

Yes, now I just have to find a track that's thawed out or hit the 'crete at Liberty.
