5:00 am - 10.0 miles with Dan, Scott and Matt around the Lehi area.  The weather was nice and the company was fantastic.  We made a pass by the bat trees and had a nice technical trail section.

7:30 am - 18.0 miles with perhaps the biggest group to assemble for a non-sponsored February morning  group run (30+ people).  I started out as the leader of the group guiding all through the first half of the Riverton Half course.  At about the 7 mile mark the super speed guy group got a little to fast for my taste so I let them go and ran the rest of the half on my own (they had Walter to direct them).  Upon finishing the half I wated a bit for Julie, Kelli and Rachelle to finish up and we went out and did another 5 miles.  Rachelle was feeling zippy and gave the last mile a nice push.  All in all it was a good long tiring run.

Noon - 4.0 miles @ 6:53 pace - 27:34.78 - I am not certain it can get any warmer this "winter" (tech-t, sleeves and shorts).  All is well.

10:57 pm - 4.35 miles @ 7:50 pace - 34:01.72 - Sleep almost won but alas I got out there.  Sleep running is definately an opperative word for this run.

11:30 am - Sasha had a meeting in the morning so we moved our run time (in retrospect is ended up being a wise move due to the reported ice on the Provo River trail in the morning).  We did the same workout as we did two weeks ago and I did have some improvement.

1st 1.5 mile - 8:15-8:20, 1.0 mile - 6:11 and 2nd 1.5 mile - 8:25

We then did a bunch of 1 mile out-and-backs with the kids and folks.

6:20 am - 7.25 miles @ 7:15 pace - 52:34.88 - With my wifes new work schedule I get to run when the rest of the "normal" people run.  Temperature was nice and the run felt good.
