Ran to the orem high track. Did an 800 meter time trial. Time was 2:23.1 (a PR by 9 seconds). My first quarter was in 70 with splits of 16, 18, 18 and 18. The second quarter was in 73 with splits of 18, 18, 19 and 18. Ran back and finished up with another 3 miles, ending up with about 6 total.

6.8 miles in 51:14. I ran to about 2.25 with my dad, then I pulled him for a mile in 5;56 up the canyon. It felt like I was putting in about a 5:30 effort. Too stubborn to use a VPB, I took a 0.3 detour to use the restroom, then ran back.

Drove up to the Provo canyon with my dad. I ran two warm up miles up the canyon, then did three down hard. My splits were 87, 82, 82, 82 (5:33 mile), 83, 89, 86, 87 (5:45 mile, 11:18 two miles (a PR for two miles)), 89, 90, 85 and 76! Turns out I had a kick after all! I did the last mile in 5:40 and the last half mile in 2:41. Total time for three miles was 16:58 (a PR). The last quarter in 76 was possibly the most miserable quarter of my life. I felt like throwing up for the last 1200. Anyway, the 6-minute mile guy and the 5:40 guy were shown who's boss.

6.4 miles with Clyde and my dad in 51:52. Never run in Saint George during the summer unless you absolutely have to, or unless you enjoy the heat. I'm on vacation to Saint George and at 5 in the morning, it was 80 degrees. Normally at that time it's in the 90's, so we got lucky. A rare breeze picked up for the last few miles so it wasn't too bad.

Drove to the track. Jacob did a mile time trial. He got 7:27, with splits of 1:52, 1:55, 1:50 and 1:47(!) plus 3 seconds for the extra 9 meters. This id Jacob's PR, and a family record for the age of five. Ran home and finished up my miles. Ended up with about an average of 8:00 pace.
