Big group for a long run at Brandon's house in Spanish Fork. Matt, Chad, Chris, Brandon, Reed and Dave T. 8 miles easy (7:20). 4 miles cool down.
8 mile MP tempo (5:28, 5:35, 5:30, 5:38, 5:28, 5:36, 5:35, 5:19), 5:30 avg
Tempo was on Brandon's tempo loop. Nice, mostly flat loop. It had a nasty windy section that made me want to stop and walk. Effort was pretty even, ~5:20 with the tail wind, ~5:40 with the head wind. I felt good today. Ran with Matt. We alternated every 1/2 mile on the windy parts. He looked very strong.
With .2 to go we got rushed by 2 dogs. Matt pulled out the Kung Fu and they ran away with their tails between their legs. It did break up the rhythm a little.
The other guys ran various distances and looked strong. Good times.
