36k run for my birthday. First 8 with Scott, Dan, Reed, Matt, and Jody. I sure like running with you guys. Dan ran with me until Bridal Veil, thanks so much Dan! Ran the last 8.5 solo. It was a little chilly up the canyon but it was still great. I felt good the whole time and didn't hammer it down the canyon (avg 6:40 pace) even though I really wanted to haha. Sunrise at the end was awesome. Now gimme the cake!! Average pace for the run was 7:10.

So much fun this morning. Met Dan, Scott, Reed, and Matt at Timp high and ran to runners corner for the waffle run. 4 mile warmup to the store. Ran the 9 mile loop from the store at a good clip. Got dropped on the hills but they were nice enough to wait at the light. I tried to beat Matt at the end for the peanut butter cup challenge title (lol), but he outkicked me for the W (I even cheated and he still won haha). Ate some tasty waffles with the fresh buttercream syrup and then headed back to the cars for a 4 mile cool down. They need to put buttercream syrup in gel packets :). Avg pace for today was 6:54.

 Thanks guys, it was really a blast today!

 I am finally feeling back in the groove and ready for some steady improvement!
