Meet with Ben, Jon, Jace, Riley, Bryant and Jason up in North Ogden. Ran 5 miles to the start of the Pleasant View 5k and started from there. 5:28 5:12 5:15 + 14 seconds for .07 on my watch but my watch is always short. then just cooled down with the guys nice and easy. Happy with my time cause at no point was I pushing the pace overly hard and I ran fairly well. Next week will be in the low 60s for me as a down week after a decent amount building.

Great job Dave. Your third mile split is very impressive! That's the hardest mile and you almost ran as fast on that as the downhill second mile!

Fun run for NO cause? You should donate the race profits to competitor group :-)

Nice work, Dave! You are running well lately. I'd say you are well on your way to getting back in killer shape!
