AM - 22 miles. Long run on the Jordan River Parkway. Had another great crew this morning - Andrea, Emily B, Devra, AdamRW, ACorn, Chad, and Bryan. Chilly at the start (had to use hot hands in my gloves this morning). We ran the first 20 miles at a pretty good clip (~6:57 average pace), then I added a faster 2 mile effort in 10:01 (5:01, 5:00). The stretch that I did the faster effort on had a good little hill in the middle of it (out & back so I hit it twice), so I was pleased to be able to accelerate to that pace at the end of the run without having to crank it up too much. Great run, great company, great conversations... it just flew by! Really enjoyed myself this morning.

PM - 4.4 miles, horsepark loop.

She says I'm a tough coach... but marathon training is not easy! :-)

Way to finish Jake! That was a fun run for me thanks for letting me join and bring up the rear. I didn't know 14 miles could go by that quickly.

I tried to run with you guys, but I couldn't keep up. And I think I heard someone say, "Let's ditch Burt."

Nice candid photos. Really.

Burt, I think we said "Let's CATCH Burt"... we thought you were up ahead. Technically we were running in your direction!

Thanks again for the running oportunity and nice job on that final 2 mile effort. I am doing my best to be a Saucony billboard (there orange stuff rules).

I knew it seemed like you were back right away when we were eating the banana cake but holy crap 10:01 after 20 miles!!! Amazing. I am so excited for you and Andrea for that matter. Thanks for including me in the run this morning it was a blast.
