10 miles around Holladay @ 7:21 pace.  2 pick-up miles (6:22, 6:15) in the middle.  Have had a cold recently and wasn't feeling it today.

16 miles around Holladay, average pace of 7:18.  Did 5 mile pick up in the middle of the run (6:19, 6:13, 6:12, 6:33, 6:37).  Faded a little at the end, though those were the toughest miles with a gradual uphill most of the way.

8 miles total, average pace of 7:04. Did 2 pick up miles at the end. Didn't look at my watch for the 2 miles and ran by feel. Miles ended up being 5:57 and 6:00. Faster than I thought, so that was good.

10 miles easy around Holladay.  Not sure of pace, but slow because I was pushing my son in the stroller.

18 mile run around Holladay, average pace of 7:23  Did the same 5 mile pick up in the middle that I did last week, only I didn't look at any of my splits and just ran.  Mile splits were 6:06, 6:14, 6:11, 6:23, 6:34.  Maybe a little faster than last week.  Hoping to keep building.

12 miles total around Holladay, 7:09 pace.  6 miles warm up, 4 mile pick-up (6:06, 6:16, 6:15, 6:19), cool down for 2 miles.  Starting to feel more consistent on the pick ups.

8 miles up in Park City after work, 7:27 pace.  Legs felt heavy, probably from basketball games the last 2 nights.

Met up with James, Josh and Scott and drove down to Utah County to run with the crew down there.  Piled 14 into a minivan and drove to near the start of the UV marathon in Wallsburg and ran down to Orem.  Did 20 miles total at an average pace of 6:50.  Did what turned out to be about an 11 mile tempo in the midde with and average pace of 6:34 through those miles.  Worked with James and Spencer through the tempo and it definitely helped to work with them and push the pace.  I felt good throughtout the run and went faster and longer than if I was alone.  This was the best long training run I have done, so I was happy with how it went.  It was fun to run with a big group, even though I was bringing up the rear, and I hope to join them in the future.

13 miles up at Jeremy Ranch with Josh, James, Jake, Fritz, Rob and Collin.  They were nice enough to let me and James tag along and try to hang with them.  These runs are great for me because they make me push it a little, though it is nothing for those guys.  7:27 average pace for the run with a couple faster miles.
