Ran south on the JRT with an average pace of 6:48, with a nice slow first mile of 8:00 which is about all I can do for first miles these days, if that.  Taking longer to get warmed up.  Threw in a 5:57 at mile 9 which felt great.

2nd run in 0'd shoes for the year.  Felt really good, calves not complaining yet.  My pace sure fluctuates when not running with anyone.  Did a 5:50 for mile 7.

Ran with Wes from provo canyon to Vivian and back.  He was struggling on the way back so with 3 left I picked up the pace with a 6:33, 6:43 and 5:36 which felt really smooth today, especially considering the pain I was in last night.  Just as I walked upstairs to go to bed my left leg, hip and low back seized up and clamped down on the nerves.  I could barely walk, couldn't move anything without being in tons of pain and didn't think there would be any way I could make this run today.  But when I woke up, I was able to move a few things in my back and hips and was feeling much better.

Ran 20 to end of Path in Saratoga Springs.  Did some good tempo miles.  Mile 12-19 were below 6:30 and 6:20.  Felt really comfortable.
