Met the guys at the pond for an article that the Signpost is doing on our group. Did a slow lap around the pond then walked around after my interview. Feeling better everyday. Riley and I did abs afterwards. Man I'm weak. Need to get more core strength again.

Did 3 miles with Riley. It decided to rain hard the whole time and stop just as we finished. Make us remember the joys of Phoenix and the reason we are so tired.

Ran the 10 miler today pacing Amy Cook with Jason. She was shooting for a 6:20 effort. We stayed comfortable through the first 4.5 miles, then the hills start. The person who designed this course is not a runner. If this is training someone for the Ogden Marathon like they advertise, it is a load of crap. Because of how hilly it is, you can't get into any kind of rhythm (thus not marathon training). Stayed with Amy until mile 9 (we hit 3 miles in the middle under 6 minute pace)  and then went for some circuit points. Ran a 5:11 for my last mile, which felt very controlled. Feeling much better than I did just a couple days ago. Let the process begin for th SLC Marathon. Riley got some great pictures I will post them later when he sends them to me.

Here is a great write up http://ogdencrew.com/#!/running/striders-10-mile-photobook
