After a fun summer full of dandy Payson canyon runs we did our final run for the year. The transport van was packed to the gills as it usually has been each week. In case you're wondering you can squeeze 12 or maybe 13 runners in your average minivan if you're motivated and not too concerned about comfort (or safety) :) I decided to do an uphill warmup mile solo before joining the rest of the gang for the downhill fun stuff. Stuck with Ken again and kept most miles under 7 min pace. Always a little sad to be done for the year. But always happy to have the legs in tip-top shape for downhill running going into STG. Now it's taper time!

Out with the gang in the morning. We were treated with a downpour right at the end. Fun stuff! Felt pretty sluggish, hope my legs get a little happier with the next week's taper.
