I ran the 2000 N route with Larry, Wayne and Kent. Even though my legs felt pretty good after the relay, I took it easy until the last mile when I realized I had to hurry to get home in time. Wayne and Kent had gotten a little ahead, but when I shifted from 10:00/mi to 7:20/mi I caught and passed them pretty quickly. My easy runs have been a little slower this year than in past years, and my fast runs have been sporadic, mostly in the form of races, fartleks, or short tempo runs. Still, I feel like I'm actually running pretty well. I'm not sure how my sore hip (comes and goes) would have handled more mileage and/or harder speed work. It will be interesting to see how I do at St. George this year.

| I ran the water tank hills with Larry, Wayne and Kent. I wore my headlamp for the first time on this run this year, and was glad I did. It was pretty dark going up. I turned on the light just before we got to the bottom of the hills and when we got to the starting line I was off. I was in the mood to push today. I ran up the hills in 15:55, not quite a PR but good for me considering there was a little headwind. I ran down easy with the group then ran the last 1/2 mile at 5:50/mi, which was a PR for this year. It felt great!

| I ran the Cascade route with Larry, Wayne and Kent. Actually, at 1200 N & 800 E I saw Mike Jasper a little ahead of us so I caught up with him and ran to the turn around point with him. He always runs a faster pace than us so I had to work pretty hard to catch him. It took a minute before I could converse with him. I ran back with my group, although Wayne and Kent (similar to previous days) started pulling ahead. With about a mile to go they turned north on 400 E. I needed to hurry to get back in time so I told Larry I was going to stay on 1200 N until Main and see if I could get to Main and 1600 N before Wayne and Kent. I did.

| I ran 6 easy miles solo on the library route this morning.With a 20-miler planned for tomorrow, I didn't want to push too hard. My right hip was also a little sore. I averaged 9:18/mi overall.

| Today a group of us ran a new 20 mile Provo Canyon route worked out by Tom's friend Mike Elquist. I believe there were eleven of us: Tom, Kim, Mike, Mike's son, Nathan, Larry, Kevin, Kent, Lyle, Kris, and me. The weather stayed in the 50's the whole time. I ran with Nathan during some of the middle miles and he pulled me down to around 8:00 minute miles, which left me pretty tired at the end, but overall I feel like it was a pretty good run.
