I ran in Salt Lake today. I had a physical this morning for my mission, so I ran before going back to Provo. I did eight miles. My average pace was 6:52. I went down to 2300, up 4500, along Wasatch, and back home. All of my miles were under 6:50 except the one going up 4500, it was 7:54. I forgot how steep the last half mile of 4500 was, it was hard. It felt pretty easy averaging in the 6:40's for the other miles though. It was also very nice, and I wore shorts and a t-shirt.

I did ten miles today. Even though I ran a little bit later today, it was still really warm. I went a little bit faster today and even threw in five or six thirty second sprints in the middle. I felt pretty good.

I went out south on the Provo River Trail for ten miles today. I felt pretty good today and went at a moderate pace. I picked up the pace on my sixth mile and did it in 5:55. I averaged 6:40.

I ran with Neal, Pete, and Taylor Gardner. We did a fartlek today. I wasn't feeling great, and it was my first hard workout in a while. The plan was 10 hard, 10 easy, 5, 3, 2, 1. I started out on the ten and didn't feel very good. I stayed with Taylor and we caught Pete. We all three ended up about 15-20 seconds behind Neal. On the five minute push I stayed with Pete and Neal for a minute and a half, then they pulled away. I caught Pete three minutes in and Taylor and I almost caught Neal in the last minute. He was really pushing me and we were going really fast at the end. Taylor's ankle was hurting and I wasn't feeling very good, so I jut went easy back with him the rest of the way. It was a pretty good workout though.

I got in a good long run with Neal today. We went after the BYU basketball game, so it was dark the last 25 minutes, but it was still nice. We averaged around 6:40 pace. It felt really smooth and relaxed, and it went by really fast. I like running with someone a lot more, it goes by quicker. We pushed it a little bit harder the last fifteen minutes, and sprinted the last 100 meters. This was a pretty good week, and I'm planning on increasing to 60 next week with a couple hard workouts.
