6 miles in the morning in Provo.  And then I rode my bike 7 miles roundtrip to campus/work and back.

I did a speed workout with my mom today.  We did a warmup and then I did 1 mile in 6:40, 2 miles in 13:45, and then 800s in 2:59 and 2:56.  It was a decent effort but not too bad, so this was nice.  Now the goal is to maintain a buildup while working in some sort of speedwork.

7 miles in the morning.  2 to Kiwanis, 3 around Kiwanis and then 2 back.  I started at about 8:05 pace and then finished around 7:20 for the last couple.

 I also biked 6 miles today (that will be happening every weekday, so I may not mention it everyday).

I went 20 miles total.  16 was with my mom and then the last 4 were a bit faster--6:45, 6:47, 6:53 and 7:10.  The first two of the 4 were more downhill than the last couple.  I felt good about the pace for the finish of the run at this stage.

Five miles pretty easy, but I did go in the afternoon, so it was pretty warm.  I felt pretty good considering I did a 20 miler yesterday.  My goal now is to build a little bit more over the next couple weeks and try to avoid any injuries, which I've been fortunate to have avoided this year so far.
