"If we don't suffer enough we won't remember it."

Ran 6 miles up/down provo canyon with Melody, Amanda & Desiree.  My watch battery went out so I had no idea how fast we were going.  I was surprised and happy to find out we averaged a 7:26. 

This was a big improvememt from the first run I did with them three weeks ago when I felt like I was going to throw-up after 4 miles at 8 min pace.

8 miles.  This was a disjointed haphazzard run with lots of stopping.  Traffic lights, injury stops(not mine), bathroom breaks, etc.  Part with Desiree, some with Melody and Sussie, finished off with just Melody.  Avg 7:47 pace.

11.35 miles.  Yes, I was too tired to round it off to an even 11.5 and especially not 12!  Actually considered walking that last .35 to my car.  I stopped my watch and took a few steps then decided to just run it.

Met Melody, Amanda and Desiree near the Riverwoods shopping center at 5:15 a.m.  We drove to Vivian Park, ran 2 miles up South Fork then came down Provo Canyon 9 miles.  They were going 14 and continued down to Will's Pit Stop and back, but I cut out early and went to my car.  Avg 7:24 pace.  My shoulders hurt from trying this funky new move at Yoga (trying incorrectly)  Other than that I just felt tired.  When I got into the shower I felt like I had raced.

Took a nap for almost 2 hours while my boys were at school / girl at pre-school.  I really needed it too. 

4 miles with Brent on bike @ 7:37 pace.  My left quad started to hurt the last mile.  I think that long downhill run yesterday was about the max my quads could take. 

6 miles with Mark at 7:26 pace.  Happy my qual didn't bother me while running.  Wanted to go 10, but thought that might be too much for it.  The quad feels sore when I rub it, but I think it will be better next week.
