Early in the morning, I met up with Amber at sv. Unbeknown to her, the track was being resurfaced. We still weren't allowed on, so we warmed up to Mack Park. We did 6 400s at racepace (or whatever pace we could hit them) with a 200 recovery. It was more of a fun workout. The sprinklers were on on the north end of the park, so we avoided them, messing around with the course. They averaged from 1:30 to 1:42. The faster ones were on the correct part of the course, while the slower ones consisted of more obstacles (including sprinklers, haha). After, we took advantage of the downhill 200 and did 3 200s with a 200 recovery. They were 34, 35, 38. The last one we had to avoid a truck and an old couple crossing the bridge. It was a really fun workout and nice to try something fast. On our way back, we extended our cool down on the lower canal behind sunrise, on the course, and to the tree of life. We got in 6 miles which was way nice.
A little later in the morning, Brayden and I went up Birch. He was in town, and nobody else was, so it was just the two of us. It was way fun. We got past the 3rd gate, and there were a ton of people up there. Sometimes, I never see a person. Today, the canyon was filled. It was way fun crossing the rivers. On our way back, we took a left on the trail that leads to crossing the fields which was fun. We averaged a 9:00 pace for 7 miles, which was good for a trail run.
