4 easy on the mill - If you have Netflix, I recommend you watch Rising from Ashes. It is a documentary about a Rwanda cycling team. Pretty cool story with quality cinematography and music.

6 through the neighborhood and onto the parkway. It was another success in that I didn't get lost coming home. Tried to focus on my stride and form today and just be steady and relax. Josh and Adam looked a lot more at ease than me yesterday. It was a good exercise for me this morning to try and keep my breathing in check and my heart rate down. Ended up averaging a couple seconds faster than yesterday though I was not focusing on pace and it felt easier today.

7 easy on the parkway going south with Josh and Adam. I am liking the morning runs with the morning crew. Perfect weather and great company.

50 minutes on the mill. I'll consider it 6 miles. I am excited for this weekend and a couple of long(er) runs and enjoying the holiday up in Park City.

Josh, John, Scott, and I drove down to Orem and met up with a big group that ran part of the Utah Valley course this AM. We ran from Wallsburg to Orem. Fun to run with so many people. I need to get my hands on the video of 14 of us funneling out of the mini van!

20 total. We did the first 7.5 at a 7:12 average (which was a little faster than I was originally planning, but I was happy about it in hindsight). The next 10 I had planned on at "marathon pace," which I don't really know how to define right now. I was thinking I could handle 6:45 and didn't want to end up slower than that. Ended up averaging 6:39 for the tempo, which I am pleased with. So, 6:54 average for 17.5 and then the last 2.5 I jogged in slow and steady to cool down. 

I feel like this was a great run to see where I am at right now and where I need to be by the fall. This was the fastest 20 mile training run I have ever done. Usually I reserve my long runs for a moderate pace without any type of workout thrown in. This cycle, I am going to mix that up.
