Speed only kills if you don't have it!

First run back in Utah in two weeks and with the team.  I started slow with Haag and Shaw and we moved up and talked to kids on the way.  We did a loop up the trail the 6400 W and over to Main, then down to Mountain View Corridor on 12600 South and back to Monarch.  the last 1.5 miles we did tempo.  I averaged just under 6 pace for the tempo.  Finished with another almost mile to get 8 miles.  Saw "RAD" Rachel as she biked by, Amazon!:) 7:17 pace

Ran around Rosecrest and Mirabella and down 13400 S with the kids today.  Did 5x100m barefoot striders on the grass after.  Easy run. 7:34 pace

Not really a race because I didn't race.  Didn't feel good from the start, still not recovered from my vacation.  My goal was to run the first half in 6:10 pace and then pick it up, I never picked it up!  I just ran the second half and didn't care.  The times and places were all messed up by Runnercard at the end, not really a stellar race or performance.  

Ran up in the playground with the boys 7 miles.

Easy miles with my coaches.  7:24 pace.

Jogged a mile this morning and then Greg and Jonathan came over and we drove up Butterfield a couple of miles.  I wanted to get a 10 tempo run in.  Greg and I lost Jonathan after a mile and stayed together out of the canyon for a bit.  Then Greg tucked in behind me for the next couple of miles.  He came back up around 5 miles for a bit and then fell off again.  I stopped to wait for him at mile 7, but he could never hang on.  Mile 7 was 6:01, mile 9 was 6:05, and mile 10 was 6:23, the others were all under 6 minute pace.  I ended up running the run in 59:02 (5:55 ave).  First 10k was just under 36 minutes.  Ran back and finished with Jonathan after Greg got done.  Great workout, although I am sure I will be sore.
