Had a nice run today, although I'm pretty pooped. Still a bit tired from the 10K on Thursday I think. Drove over to Utah Lake and met Paul at 5am at the end of the Provo river trail. We then headed up the canyon, picking up Kevin, Kerry, and Scott along the way and eventually making our way up to Trefoil. We than ran down the river trail. From Vivian to the base of the canyon I decided to push the tempo a bit and ran alone for about 6 miles, backtracking at the 10 mile point to go back and hook back up with the group. Kevin, Kerry and Scott were only wanting 10 miles so at that point Paul and I said bye to the others and headed down to the lake. I haven't run the river trail for a while so it was a nice change of pace with some good downhill training for SGM. We passed FastRunningMommy Sarah, looked like she was running great even while packing a little extra "bundle" :-) It's always nice to run with Paul and the other guys from the WBR team. Everyone seems to be running very well.

Ave pace 8:05.

Nice long run with the tempo and hill training to boot. I've noticed that running with someone always seems to make running a little more tolerable.

You have really been knocking down these long runs the last few weeks. Your endurance should be great for SGM.
