Normal Monday morning run with Kent and Larry. Most of the run was at an easy pace (averaged around 9:00/mi), but I did insert a 1/2 mile fartlek in the middle at a pace of about 6:38/mi.

I ran the extended Tuesday morning run with some variation. I ran the first two miles alone at a 7:59/mi pace. I then met up with Kevin, Kent and Larry for the normal run. I pushed down the hill on 2000 N to work on foot speed (0.7 miles @ 5:59/mi). Finally, I pushed the last mile or so at 6:45/mi. Overall, I ran 8 miles at an average pace of 8:19/mi.

I ran the extended Thursday morning run. I started early and ran 1.5 miles before joining up with Kevin, Kent, and Larry. I didn't run Wednesday because I had a bad cold. I still had it this morning but I couldn't miss another day running. I ran the first 1.5 miles at about 8:30/mi and the last 1.3 miles at about 8:00/mi. I ran the rest at a very easy pace and averaged about 9:05/mi overall.

Kevin, Kent, Larry and I ran 15 miles from the top of South Fork in Provo Canyon down into Provo. My overall pace was about 8:20/mi. About half way into the run Kevin and I doubled back for about a tenth of a mile and then pushed hard to catch back up with Kent and Larry. We averaged 6:58/mi for the mile (slight downhill) it took us to catch them.
