Had the day off today and will be busy most of the weekend so did my long run today.  Did 18 miles around Holladay at average pace of 7:16.  Warm up of 6 miles and then decided to do an 8 mile tempo.  Splits were 6:39, 6:37, 6:26, 6:30, 6:35, 6:36, 6:24, 6:25.  Average for tempo was 6:31.

I agree with Josh. Hille, it's good to see you feeling smooth. You looked relaxed last saturday and you're only going to get better. Keep grinding like this. MIH
