Met James and Scott at Liberty Park. My wife drove us up Emigration to Big Mountain. 

James and Scott were scouting out the Des News Half course. They were planning on doing a 5 mile tempo on the course, I figured it would be a good opportunity for a longer run and an aided tempo. 

We warmed up 2 miles and then started the tempo. Great temps but there was a very slight headwind.

Splits were:

5:51, 5:49, 5:45, 5:41, 5:37

James was on my heels. I've noticed on tempos that for me the first mile usually feels the worst.

Ran 6.5 more with a mile in 6:15 on South Temple. 

Thanks to James for the invite, longest run for me in almost two years.

Great run - long and fast! Nice of your wife to drive y'all up a mountain for a training run.

Thanks again for the help through the canyon. That was a great run. Big thanks to your wife as well!

I am also most impressed with your wife dropping you guys. Great week. Nice conservative mileage build.
