Kevin and I joined up for 4 quicker miles this morning. Average pace about 8:40/mi. It was finally above freezing this morning, but with the breeze it still felt a little nippy. Kevin provided most of the conversation this morning. I was fully engaged in just trying to keep sucking in enough oxygen to keep my muscles fueled.

It felt good to push a little harder this morning, but I probably need to focus on just building my mileage up. Maybe it's time to start slipping in a couple of extra miles a couple of times a week.

I slipped out early and got in half a mile before meeting Kevin. Average pace 9:13/mi.

I had a church basketball game at 10:00pm last night. My legs hadn't quite recovered.

Larry, Wayne, Kevin and I all got out together this morning for 8 @ 8. We looped through Lindon then headed up the long big hill to Pleasant Grove, dropped down to Locust Ave., then worked our way back home. This was the longest run of the year so far for most of us. It was great being together.

Near the end we noticed Larry's dog hadn't stayed with us. We started walking the route backwards looking for him. We eventually decided to run a loop looking for him. We found him shortly after we started running but decided to finish the loop anyway, so I ended up with 9.4 miles instead of 8. This put me at around 35 miles for the week. It's my best week in quite some time.
