10 miles @ 9:25/mi. Murdock trail north with Wayne.

Very enjoyable run with Wayne on a cold, sunny morning. Wayne's been recovering from an injury but has managed to do a little running, and basketball cross training. I was pleased to see him hold sub-9:30 pace for these 10 miles. I think it's been a while since he's run that far.

Thanks to Kevin and Wayne this was my first 40 mile week since St. George last October. Kevin wanted to run Friday so I got out for 6 miles when I normally haven't been running on Fridays, and this morning I was prepared to only go 8 with Wayne but he chose to go 10.

If we can stave off injury, I think Wayne (3:55), Kevin (3:30), and I (3:40) all have a chance at BQ times at St. George this year. I finished in 3:47 last year, and Wayne and Kevin were both in better shape than I was until they got injured.

Looking forwrd to the adventure of a new running season.
