Started at Vivian and run up 4 miles to the top of  South Fork to the start of the Provo River Trail half marathon.  First four miles was in 36:49.  Found Wes and the race actually started on time without a timing mat and with the honk of a truck horn.  The plan was to try to keep Wes on pace for a 1:30 for as long as possible.  We stayed under pace for the first four miles but his breathing seemed heavier than normal, and the pace slowed considerably.  It seems that we have run up Provo Canyon and back for a twelve mile run and kept a better pace through the second half of the run. My heart rate averaged 135 for the half marathon portion of today's run.  We finished the half in around 1:33:40 ish. Averaged a 7:07 pace for the race.  I hung out at the finish for a couple of minutes then headed back out up to Vivian.  Was feeling stronger the farther I got up the canyon and was feeling comfortable at mile 24 for the day doing a  6:51 going up to Vivian.  My average heart rate for the last 7 was 148, still taking it easy. Great run, left Quad pretty sore though, still some left over from Timp, as well as something odd going on with left hip and knee occasionally.  Wes ended up setting a PR by a few minutes over last year which was the real goal.

Wow, that is a pretty solid run DV. Way to hit it hard.
