AM-12 miles with the last 2 at MP effort. (1:22:10) 

 Right hamstring and sacrum are tighter than usual this morning. I think it's time to just go get a heel lift and raise the shorter leg until I can figure out how to correct this imbalance. That is if it can be corrected at all..  Trying to stay optimistic about this but it's been an ongoing thing for a few years now and it's time for some real answers.

AM-4 miles easy on the soft deck treadmill at Gold's. A less bone jarring and joint shearing choice than the usual concrete today. (29:21) flat level.

Long run up up and down Provo Canyon with Sasha, Chad R and Collin A.  I really enjoyed getting out again and meeting new people while taking on a longer run. Good times..  I have'nt run 20 miles for quite some time now and although I'm not quite as fit as I used to be, it still turned out to have a much better result than I had expected.  The first 12 miles were at smooth and easy pace with the last 8 progressing gradually in effort until the last mile that is.. with some rather brutal hill climb it turned the legs to jello.   A great training run however and with no bonking issues which in and of itself is really encouraging.  For now I'm going to make a few changes in the coming weeks on the training in order to regroup and then work towards strengthening the legs and core more in order to improve economy.  I just have to keep building patiently and being thankful for the blessing I have.  

20 miles total with 12 at 7:30-8/min pace with 8 at sub 6 to 6:20ish/mile.
