Great run up with Provo Canyon with Paul (who had to get back for his neighborhood race), Nathan and Cory. Beautiful, warm morning with temperatures around 60 at the start. With turning back to meet up with Cory, Nathan and I had 7 miles by the turnaround at Vivian Park. Average pace up was 8:30. Fairly relaxed pace on the way back down until we were about 2.7 miles from the end and Nathan put the hammer down. Cory and I tried to keep up, but he soon had a good lead on us. The pace on mile 11 was 7:16,  mile 12 was 7:14 and the last 0.72 mile Cory and I average 6:56. Average pace for the whole run was 8:12 and average heart rate was 148.

When I got back home I went for a run with my youngest daughter Amelia (10). She was inspired by all the hoopla at Boston and wants to run the neighborhood mile race in July (in preparation for her long term goal of running Boston when she turns 18). As she's just getting started we alternated running and walking.

Nice running week Kerry, It's great to see you running without pain and injury much to speak of the last couple of weeks. Looks like you'll peak just in time for the relay.
