5:45 am.  Met Ryan at the Maverik to do our 13 mile Lehi, Willow Park, Thanksgiving point loop.  I wanted to try and maintain a 6:30 - 6:40 pace, that lasted about 5 miles, both of us seemed to be dealing with poor pre-run dinner choices last night and around Willow Park really started to struggle,  after I dealt with my stomach issues I felt a little better but never really could get myself back into it.   Ended up just really struggling to want to even finish, then to make matters worse construction had totally torn the heck out of the trail and really got us out of a groove.  I joked that I can't run anywhere anymore without construction getting in the way and that one morning I'm expecting to show up at the gym and find construction tape across my treadmill :).

Ended up cutting our losses and taking the shortcut back to the car,  11.1 miles in 1:16:30 about 6:52 avg pace, but with all the stops that's not really an accurate number anyway.  Oh well, can't always be 100%.  I really feel like I'm coming down with a cold or something, I hope going to a more humid sea level climate for the next week will help.
