Easy run from work up the canyon to the fountain and back. Threw 6 30 second surges in on the way back. So nice out. Congrats to all of the Boston runners today!

Headed down to the park for some pace work. The park has a paved .49 loop that is perfect. Warmed up and then did 3 x 2mile with 1/2 mile recoveries. The 2 mile intervals were ran at marathon pace (6:30) down to half marathon pace (6:07). I was a little tired from yesterday so the last one felt a little harder than I thought it should but it went well, and I ran them too fast. 12:15, 12:09, 12:14. Total 12 mile run averaged 6:55 pace.

5am fun with Dan, Scott, Jody, Matt and Reed. Reed and I ran together today and put a few surges in. I stayed and did another four with a good 2 mile push. Shin feels wonky but the extra support in the shoe choice today helped.

PM - 6.2 recovery loop in Spanish Fork. Wore the HR strap to keep it honest. 7:20 pace, avg HR 137

Soldier Hollow to Vintage Park with the Sojourners group. First 10 on trail in 1:14:18. Second 10 with trail and pavement down the canyon in 1:03:52. Did a mile+ cool down at the end and then iced in the river. The whole thing went awesome. Ran the first 10 easy with some friends and then next 10 solo at a nice clip.

 I am feeling really good lately. I signed up for the Provo City Half in two weeks just so I have a gauge to see where I am at race wise. Took yesterday off. I rested well, stretched, and iced the shin and it felt pretty good today so I'll take it :).
