5.25 @ 9:35/mi.  Mudock trail north solo, back with John Gillespie and Bryan Johnson.

Bryan was doing push ups when I met them halfway through their run. He's doing a full ironman on Saturday. He looks ready. I wish him the best of luck.

We looped back through Lindon and my watch was dead so I don't know how far we ran or how fast. It's all good. It was a beautiful mornig with good company.

6.7 miles @ 9:21/mi.  2000 N/Dry Canyon/Murdock trail/Canal Dr.

I cruised up the hills pretty well. Downhill I ran 0.6 miles @ 7:00/mi then sped up to 0.8 miles @ 6:26/mi when the hill wasn't so steep. After the hills I loop along the trail and through Lindon at about 9:00/mi.

18 miles @ 9:28/mi.  Home to Vivian Park and back, some with Wayne.

Up: 9:39, 9:23, 9:40, 10:56, 10:47, 10:59, 9:50, 9:46, 8:56
Down: 8:55, 8:20, 8:08, 8:09, 8:30, 9:28, 10:14, 9:42, 8:58

I met Wayne at mile 4 and ran a few miles with him. I stopped at Nunn's at a bathroom and he kept going. I stopped for too long and only saw him briefly on his way back down.

After pushing tempo pace for miles 11-14, the last 4 miles took some effort...good training.
