"I don't really need a duck"

6:20 am - 7.25 miles @ 7:23 pace - 53:31.75 - It was a windy one today. Fortunately my loop is mostly east-west so I only had a mile or so of direct wind.

5:20 am - 7.0 miles @ 7:07 pace - 49:54.22 - A nice early morning run with James Barnes out and about in the Herriman area.  The weather was absolutely perfect and the conversation made it go by fast.  I am officially calling this a step back week (sounds better than pure lazyness).  I should settle in the low 50's but be back in the mid to upper 60's next week (kind of sounds like the weather).

Noon - 4.0 miles @ 6:55 pace - 27:39.43 - It was down right hot on the parkway today.  The wind was nice.

5 am - 10.0 miles @ 7:00 pace - 1:09:55 - A nice run on the Parkway in Lehi with Dan and Reed.  I didn't get to sleep until close to 11pm last night and I could tell.  Looking for more sleep tonight for a good run tomorrow.

7:30 am - 19.5 miles - Met up with Sasha, Gary and Gary's brother and found out that we were pacing Gary through the Provo River Half course for a finish time of 1:30 (this should be good practive for me for the American Fork Half in June).  After a little under a mile warm up we got it going.  It turns out that Utah County and specifically Provo Canyon was rather void of wind.  The weather was absolutely fantastic! (shorts and tech-t).  Pacing Gary went rather well, the pace felt pretty easy and he did a good job of hanging on for the most part.  He was right on target until the last mile or so when his IT-band started acting up.  He ended up about 30 seconds past the 1:30 mark.  We finished our way back to Sasha's, dropped of Gary and headed back out for another 4.5 miles.  I was definately glad to be done and greatful for a banana and some water back at Sasha's.  My quads are still a bit sore (Monday) from the whole adventure.
