I ran the Lindon loop with Larry, Kent and Kevin. We ran our usual mostly easy cold morning pace of 9:15 to 9:45/mi. As we turned to head south on a long stretch near the middle of the run I decided I needed to push hard and run fast for a while. I let out a grunt/shout and took off. I only managed about a 7:10/mi pace for the next mile or so to Lindon Park, but that was 2:00/mi faster than the current pace. It felt more like 6:30 pace effort, and it felt good to be able to expend that kind of effort. I'm obviously not in top race condition, but I feel like I'm beginning to make progress back in that direction.
