Clyde came up on the bus to Provo with the XC team last night.  Dave, Clyde, me, and Greg got up early and ran all the way through Provo.  We started over by the freeway and then up into the canyon for a couple miles.  It was a little windy but the conditions were not bad.  All three of us were complaining about our legs being sluggish.  We didn't need to push the pace until the 5 progresssion miles at the end.  We hit the first progression mile at 6:25ish and then worked our way up to a 5:39 last mile.  It was nice to run in a different area and get a change of scenery.

The BYU Invite went well for the team.  The course was long which made the times much slower than they should have been.  The kids are improving each meet though.  I am glad to be home where I can now relax and not worry about too much for the rest of the weekend.

Big Workout Wednesday - sounds good!

Dual on Tuesday - also sounds okay (I don't know what the busses will say, but who needs 'em; we can all catch rides across town). What time do you want to do it? It might still be a little toasty for 4:00 - so 6:00 might be better, but I don't care, I'm not running!
