Did 6x400 down on the tree-lined road. Felt pretty sluggish during warmup wasn't sure how things would go. Ended up feeling pretty good. Based on my workout 2 weeks ago I figure 1:35-1:40 (6:20-6:40 pace) splits to be a good range to shoot for. 

Ended up with splits of 1:38, 1:37, 1:36, 1:36, 1:35, 1:33.

Ran some Center street hills with Kimi. Uphills were also into stiff canyon winds. Fun stuff.

Nice to run on the Provo River Trail for a change of pace before Kim's 5K where she was helping a friend finish her first race ever. Felt pretty good on the downhill/tailwind side of things.
