AM - Very cold morning at 15'F. Easy uneventful 15.1 miles at 7:24 average. However, someone passed Sasha and I going the other direction at about 8 miles into our run and when we turned around Sasha starting picking it up. I was not in the mood to pick it up so was a little cranky when he did. He said he wanted to catch the person and we could do so running 6:00 pace. I just was not in the mood to go any faster than 6:30. Physically not much holding me back from doing so just mentally I was not willing to do so. So Sasha went ahead anyway and I just stayed stubborn and grumpy and chugged along at 6:30 pace. I caught up to Sasha and the other person, Tyler shortly there after. Met Tyler and found out he was a decent high school runner and is trying to get back in shape. So I think we convinced him to join the blog. If so he has potential to be pretty fsat with the right training. PM - James wanted to do a 1 mile time trial today so I took him to the BYU indoor track and we did 1 mile warm up then 1 mile time trial then 1 mile cool down. He was sick with the cold and cough that I have had so I was not sure how he would do but he wanted to do it anyway so we went ahead and did it. The BYU indoor track is 5 laps to the mile. James started pretty fast the first lap and then settled in. He struggled a little on laps 3 and 4 but then finished well. He was pretty happy since he set his PR with no competition on an indoor track and with a cold. He really wants an FRB singlet for running 5K races so I guess I will have to order one from Steve for him. Anyway his splits were as follows: 1:03, 1:06, 1:07, 1:09, 1:05 = 5:30 mile
