Had a great shirtless run after work today around Provo and on the river trail. Changed in the parking lot right after work and hit the lovers lane trail north to one of the upper roads. Then dropped down to the river trail and up to Timp park. Drank from the fountain and cruised at MP all the way back. Cooled down an easy one after getting back.

3.5 mile run, then did 4x 1/2 mile repeats with 1/2 mile recoveries up around the Provo temple. I am happy with the effort. Didn't focus on pace on the hills, just tried to keep a consistently hard effort almost all the way up and then finish them off hard through the crest of the hill. The group ran great today too, so fun to be able to help people. On the return trip I ran the university hill hard and increased the effort back to the store. Finished up tired and satisfied.

AM - Fun early loop this morning in Lehi with Scott, Dan, Reed and Matt. I stayed late at work yesterday so I could skip out a few hours this morning and run :). A little light rain/snow but the temp was perfect. Some nice rollers in the middle and loved the slight downhill finish. Will get out again later tonight. 7:04 average for the run.

PM - Had to wait until almost 10:00, but I got out in the slight chill under the stars for the 6.2 easy loop around Spanish Fork. It feels good to close the day the way it began.

Awesome run today down AF canyon from Tibble Fork res with Dan, Scott, Jody and Ryan. It was a fun cruiser, downhill pretty much the whole way. Two easy to start in the snow, 16 miles average under 6:25, and a mile to cool. So much fun! Thanks for the ride up Dan, and thanks for stashing water along the way Scott! Always a great time :).
