Spur of the moment 5k.  My friends who I am helping get ready for the TOU half wanted to run it, and said I should come too, so I thought "what the heck."  Rode with my friends and one of their roomies who drove us there.  We were already running a hair behind when I would have left, but I figured it would be ok because this seemed like a really low key race.  Anyway, to make matters worse we got pulled over on the way, and made it to the starting line with about 5 minutes before the race started.  I hurried and registered and threw on my flats and got to the line with about 30 seconds to spare.  Race was uneventful.  Dropped everyone after about 200 meters.  I am kind of disgusted with my lack of drive to really push myself when running alone in this race.  I knew I had it in the bag and I just kind of coasted.  I will have to work on that, and find some other drive besides winning when I know that I'm going to win.  I'm kicking myself for not running the 10k instead, since I found out after the race that Walter Brown of the blog ran the 10k and would have given me someone to try and stick with.  Good news is, I felt like I could have easily maintained that pace for 10 or 15k without too much trouble.  Legs were not even tired afterwards.  Lungs were a little burned, but that's it.  After I finished I ran back about a half mile and helped my friends run in.  I also saw my old XC coach who is now living in Smithfield (he took 3rd in the 10k and his wife and little daughter ran the mile) and a kid I know from home who is apparently also going to school up here.  As I said before I met Walter, which was nice.  I've decided that if you can't get away from the FRB mafia in Lewiston, UT, you won't get away from it anywhere.  Soon we will assimilate all of humanity into the borg.  (ok, a little too much Star Trek...)  :)

Tempo run.  Trying to make up for not pushing myself as hard as I would like to have yesterday I guess.  Felt pretty decent, considering.  Still probably not 100% recovered from last saturday, but good enough to push a little harder and not worry too much.

No watch.

2.8 miles easy jog with my friend in the heat, then drove up to Green Canyon and ran with Jon and Cody up the canyon for 10 miles of fairly easy running.  Very nice run. 

No watch.

Green Canyon at a slow pace with one of my friends who came up to visit from Pleasant Grove.  Apparently I am now being referred to as "Coach Joe" by all my "trainees."  haha.  Actually someday I wouldn't mind being a coach, but it's just funny.  Anyway, it was a gorgeous morning up the canyon.  Had my second ever moose encounter.  Not nearly as intense as the last one though.
