Early morning long run with Ken, Riley, Bret Hales, Bryant, Albert at the start and met Jon and Taylor Monson half way. Started on top of the 46st trail head and climbed to for a little over a mile then began to head north on the Bonneville shore line trail into North Ogden and headed to my house where we finished. I felt heavy the entire run, probably due to the fact its m 1st 60+ mile week this year and had 2 quality workouts.

Felt really good to have this run done even though I ran solo for most of the second half. Just taking things day by day.

Nice finish to a great week. Great workout on Thursday, too. You really hammered on those 400's!
