pm - More canal road fun. Easy out and back in the heat. This road is so sweet. It's a 12 mile stretch of dirt from Spanish Fork to Santaquin. It's my new happy place. I just cruised and enjoyed it. I can't believe I have lived here this long and didn't know about it. Extra tired today, I was up at 2am to cook for 400 people at the employee breakfast at work. Sleep will be welcome. 7:41

 Matt asked me yesterday if I would run longer with him today. I was happy to oblige. We met the large group at 5am and ran with them until the usual turn around point. After that we were solo. At the 10 mile mark we were sufficiently warmed up (1:13:15) and it was time for the tempo. 6 miles @ 5:50 was my plan, mine went like this: 5:34, 5:22, 5:26, 5:44, 5:34, 5:39, 5:44, 5:36. So a bit too fast but a solid effort. I'm happy I went 8 instead of 6. Matt went 9 and was much faster. I will dial these back to where they should be in the coming final weeks of the cycle. We cooled down the last couple together. Perfect way to start the day, feeling awesome.Thanks for the invite Matt! 6:38

Very easy grass and dirt loops to absorb the big workout yesterday. Put some strides in at the end, legs feel great. Light rain and a good mix of music made it very nice. 7:58

Randy and Scott came down this morning to run with me on the canal road. We started just after 6 and it was a perfect morning. The rain yesterday softened the road up without making it muddy. I planted water last night so we had a stop in middle. Went by really fast but we just took it easy today. 7:35
