Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
22.00	1.00	23.00

Ran a 1:36 almost half marathon this morning. The first ten with Scott, Brody, Matt and Melanie. Felt much better for that first 10 than my 10 yesterday morning, Running just over a 7 minute pace, just guessing on this one, wasn't too bad. Was a bit nippely out this morning. Puttered around the neighborhood for 3 more.

Went out for a few more and was feeling pretty good. Same loop as yesterday, just extended in a couple of spots. Did a 5:57 at mile 7, was a little uncomfortable due to fatigue, but not too bad. Can tell the legs are getting stressed, feel a few muscles on the verge of cramping. 2nd run at a 7:14 average with a 760 foot ascent/descent

Weight: 0.00

Would love to have you join us for our run on Saturday, although I think it might be a bit of a haul for you from Lehi!

Andrea, I think we (at least ScottKeate and I) will be joining you Saturday, thanks for the invite.

Dude, you're my hero this week. I'm posting this after you have already added 11 more miles to the bank.

Thanks again for your consistency and motivation. See you again Sat. morning for our long run.

Thanks! I just want to grow younger to be like you Scott, my goal is to one time on a fast day to stay with you, once, and not have you sand bag for me. Hopefully some weeks like this will help get me out of what has felt like a plateau. Hoping we can all stay injury free through this years race season.
