Chilly start at 5:38 am.   15 degrees.  Warming up slowly.  Ran 4.65 miles  (8:21 avg) around a loop by my house before driving to meet with Josse and JulieE at the Orem Soccer park.  First mile 8:45.  Last mile 7:40.  Feeling really good.   Second course started at Orem Soccer Park on the canal trail all the way to a bit past Canyon Rd.  Coursed tooled the distance at 15.48 miles.  Avg pace to turn around 8:12.  Avg pace on the way back 7:58.   Total average pace: 8:05 for 15:48.    Felt great the whole way.  Great conversation run with friends to pass the time away rather quickly.   Time 2:05:10.  Took one GU.   One banana before second course with some water.  Thanks Josse and Julie.  Another 70 mile week, feeling too good.  Don't know if I am going for 70 next week.  Why stop when I am on a roll?  I take every day as it comes.  You never know if plans will change due to something unforseen.  Happy Saturday.  Off to FESTIVAL of TREES.  Total mileage for this morning  20.13 (avg for runs together 8:09),  Yay!!
