Not sure avg pace. I goofed the mileage on my GPS. But overall solid showing for a Monday Funday run. Pretty funny seeing some Crew mates the first mile all sore and stuff. But they losened up well and also no complaints about the beautiful morning! 61 degrees!!

Met Riley, Dave, Albert, Denver and Matt at the crack of the morning at the pond. Matt and Denver did a 4 mile tempo so they went east and all of us went west.

Had a solid morning with a progressive long run. Legs at first felt the heaviest theyu have felt all week. But as the pace quickened the better they felt.

I managed to make it 13 miles with my last mile @528 and then did the last 4 miles at around 640-645 avg.

Feeling great improvements on my fitness. Hopefully the fitness will continue to increase into July for a solid marathon.

avg pace for the run 6:38 min/miles

P.M.

Was walking out for my double and then it started to dump rain. So I welcomed it with a mighty solute and hit the treadmill for 3 easy miles to make it 20 for the day.

Ugghh..... So tired this morning. Horrible night of sleep and just felt like I was sleep walking the entire run. 

Thankful for the Crew for being there today. Because if I was solo, I would most likely still be sleeping.

Decided since I had no work that I would sleep in and get my run in later in the morning. Nice day especially after the solid rain storm last night. Canal was nice and soft. 

avg pace 7:13 min/miles

Met up with a solid crew at Windsurfer beach for Rileys Birthday run. We ran to the start to the Ogden Half Marathon course. Did some strides and then attacked a tempo at various speeds for our up and coming races. 

I started my tempo and ran solo. My goal was a just a couple seconds slower than goal half pace which is 5:15 avg right now. Went out and felt relaxed the entire run, best I have felt so far this year. Splits were 5:18; 5:45 (hill on the west side of resevior)5:21; 5:19.

Cooled for a little over 2 miles
