I met Macey, Chris, and Derrek at the park on Center and 800 East in Provo.  We did the LA Freeway.  I used to love and dread that run back in the day, and enjoyed it today.  The last time I ran up there was in 2004 with my good buddy Damon Cox, before I moved to Logan and he moved to Michigan.  It was mostly the same but there were a few parts of single track that do not exist anymore, and there is no more tree of life.  We had a good run today even with the cold morning.  I enjoyed being on a run and in a place where I used to train and live, and have some good memories of.  The four of us mostly stayed together until the last couple of miles and then they started to die off a bit.  I hit the last three miles at a good pace (sub 6:00) but partially because it was all downhill.  I added on another .5 + miles going back to see where the others were.  This was my longest run since St. George last month and my toughest.

After the run we went over to Magleby's Fresh and had all you can eat French Toast and fresh squeezed OJ, yummy!  Fun times and a great Saturday run.
