Easy afternoon run after work. Ran up to timpview drive, went north, jumped on the trail at riverwoods and took carterville on the return. Legs are a bit sore and feel like I raced on Saturday :), which is a good and well missed sensation. 7:20

 Started off great great from vintage park. Ran up to the fountain and them climbed the tail to pipeline. Was feeling good until mile 4 then things got weird. By mile 6 i was in full bonk (yes mile 6). I tried to make the most of the "opportunity" to run in bonk mode and made it back to the car very slow. Spent some time cramping when i got home. I've been eating very clean. The only thing i can think is i drank too much water and flushed myself out. Tomorrow is a new day. Does anyone supplement electrolytes? 7:40

Much better today. Figuring out this old body ;). At the turn around down by the lake there were 3 artists painting in the shade. They were painting Timpanogos and the surrounding landscapes and they were very good. It was a cool break to stop and look for a minute and admire both the paintings and the area. So hot out today, I think that's the only route in provo with that much shade. Can't wait for the run with the crew in the am. 6:50

 Easy early run with the crew, so fun. 3 mile tempo on the return (5:42 avg) felt good. Matt is a crazy guy :). He went early and ran 10 before we got there and then ran 10 more with us... and smoked us all back to the park. Guy's an animal, pop on over and tell him on his blog :). 6:38

 Slept in and then ran shirtless on the country dirt roads west of Manti. It was really nice out there. Not much better than endless dirt roads, no traffic at all, and time. 7:15

Fun, hot morning run with Scott, Mike, Toni, and Bryce. Met at the soccer park and started with an easy 10 stopping up south fork. Bryce and Toni turned around at 7.5. Tempo was the plan on the way down and I ended up changing mine on the fly. Instead of letting Scott and Mike go I decided to hang with them for one mile. That mile felt good so I stayed about 10 feet back until the 5k point and then let them go. Next time I will try and and hang for 5, and the next time longer. My splits for 7 miles of tempo were 5:31, 5:35, 5:22, 6:06, 5:46, 5:54, 5:50. We regrouped at the endless fountain and ran it in easy together to finish the 20. Very happy with this run given how hot it was this morning and I'm feeling good afterward. Probably because Scott took us for donuts afterward, so tasty. Thanks Scott! Great morning as always. 6:47
