Easy trail run in the evening with Mark Iverson and his dogs. Beautiful loop off of Spencer's Loop trial overlooking canyon. Got very close and very spooked by a moose.

Felt reall good clipping off 6:50-7:10 mile effort until last 30 minutes when I got real dehydrated. Need to be more careful about that as the weather gets warmer. The day was 15 degrees warmer than what I am used to. Felt naseous all evening, pretty stupid move.

Work out with West High. For me 4 x 400, 200 at 73-70s and 33-31s with 4 "20-20"s

Very short warm up and cool down for me. Felt better as I warmed up. Kids looked good.

------------------------------------

Second run about 90 minutes later with TJ. Felt like roughly 7 minute pace average effort, 61 minute run so about 8.75 miles.
