Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
3.02	4.00	7.02

We had Wasatch Back practice this morning, we went on a 5.5 miler from Wells Fargo. I started out with the pack of all the boys, then the boys slowed up and I stuck with Ross Decker and Dave Sheeran until 3.5-4 going avg. 6:42/mi! I felt good the first mile and most of the second, but in the third and end of fourth, I died and they kept going w/o me. After I got back, it turned out to be a 5.81 mile loop and I ran out .6 and back to get up to my goal of 7 miles, and happened upon the running club. Felt really good to get out and ran that fast again, since I haven't in a long while. And I'll have fun running in Cedar for another week while I'm at Girls' State.

Good job Ruthie! You must have been flying! Clyde said he saw you on his run this morning. Have fun at Girls State.

Enjoy your time up there and learn a lot, blah, blah, blah...

You are doing a great job with your running this summer. I am ready for practice to start.

By the way, I have the samples for the new unis. So I need you and Green and a few others to try them and see if you like them or if we should go another route. Call me and let me know when we can meet up.

Hey Ruth - you were kickin trash this morning on that run. Probably a good 3 min. in front of everyone else. Keep up the training!

I was going to give you a call but I can't find your number anywhere. I have your schedule made up until the 21st. Just give me a call at the store when you have a chance - 628-7766.

Great job Ruth. You are doing so awsome!
