I did a 12+ mile run with Kevin and Wayne this morning. Larry had a chest cold but still came out and ran a few miles with us and then turned back. We headed south through Orem, over to University Ave, south to the country club, then back north up University Ave to Orem 800 North then back up through Orem to home.

We ran the 12.25 miles in 1:43:20 (8:27/mi). We started out at about a 9:15/mi pace, ran most of the run right around 8:30/mi, then finished with 1.5 miles at about 8:00/mi and then the final mile at 7:18/mi.

I think we were all pleased with the run, although Kevin and I were breathing pretty hard the last few miles. Wayne just seemed to cruise along.

Wow! Great total for the week. That's where I wanted to be, but just couldn't swing it. It sounds like you're in great shape for so early in the year.
