20.5 miles from my home with Nate, Mike, Reed, Chris, and Kyle. 20-mile loop through Alpine and Highland. Challenging course with plenty of hills. The goal of this run was a moderate sustained effort. Sort of was a progressive. First mile was 7:52, second mile was 6:59, and so on. Last several miles were at ~ 5:50 pace. 6:22 average for the whole run. I felt very good today. I was surprised at how comfortable the pace felt. And the knee felt good; definitely thankful for that. Great run, great company, and great conversation.

At about mile 14, we ran into Justin Park! He had just won the Timp Half! Congrats to Justin! He humored us by "warming-down" with us to my house. He looked great. I would have struggled to run that pace after winning a half marathon. Then, I drove him back to Lone Peak High School so he could receive his award. Talk about a class-act human being!

Good run, but more importantly - I like the new profile picture and how it can be easily photoshopped :-)

Remember the time you came in 2nd place at the color run?

Or led the charge at the Battle of Waterloo?

That's hilarious, Jake! I love it. Yeah, those 2 races have to be some of my favorites. Especially the Battle of Waterloo. One of the only times, while running, that I have feared for my life :)
