Last long run before St. George. Did 21 miles with average pace of 7:02.

Started about 2 miles above Little Mountain and run up it, down Emigration and back home to my house in Holladay. I have done this run the last 2 years before St. George, so it is a decent gauge of my fitness. Happy with the run overall. Did a 10 mile tempo in the middle of the run down the canyon and into the valley a little. Splits (6:09, 6:20, 6:18, 6:08, 6:11, 6:13, 6:16, 6:24, 6:16, 6:10) - 6:14 average. Went much better than expected. Didn't know how I would feel after hard run last weekend. Tired, but happy with the run.

Solid run man! You are going to smoke St. Geezy in a few weeks!

Now I know who to follow in St. George.

Nope, I will be trying to stay up with you.

Great run John! I was thinking I should have let you know about the run in Orem today but looks like you got your run in a day early.

Thanks, Fritz. Looks like you guys had a great run today also. I had to work all last night, so had to get my run in a day early. You are looking good heading to St. George.
