| 15 miles from my home (Murdock Trail) with a great crew: Jake, Fritz, Zak, Mike, Scott, and Reed. 3.5 mile warm-up and warm-down. Then, did 8-mile tempo (out-and-back). The last 4 miles were difficult because of a strong, cold headwind. We intentionally slowed down a few times for ice patches. Overall, a good effort. I logged them as marathon pace miles because the effort was right. Splits are all over the place, but that was because of the weather conditions. Splits: 5:37, 5:20, 5:29, 5:30, 5:45, 5:38, 5:38, 5:40. Great crew, fun run. The guys looked great. No inversion!

| 12.5 miles on the Murdock from my home with Zak, Mike, and Reed. Good workout. 3.5 mile warm-up and warm down. Did 8 x 1/2 mile repeats with 1/4 mile slow running between interals. Most were ~ 2:28 - 2:29, with a couple exceptions for hills. Felt strong. Varied terrain made it challenging, yet "fun."

| 15.5 miles with Mike and Reed. Started at my house and ran down to the 3-mile Lehi tempo loop. Did 6-mile tempo in ~ 5:28 average. Felt great cardio-wise, but the GI system was not good this morning. Still feeling the hamstring. Overall a good effort this morning.

| So-so race for me. Not good, not bad. Didn't feel great, but didn't feel horrible. I'ts all I had today, though. My fitness is not phenomenal right now. I've got work to do.
My splits: 5:22, 5:29, 5:19, 5:28, 5:27, 5:43, 5:36, 5:14, 5:20, 5:29, 5:38, 5:33, 5:10 (Dave Holt was within reach during the last mile, so I had to go for it).
Today showed me that I've lost more fitness (since my surgery 2 months ago) than I thought I had. Not surprising, though. The surgery itself put me out of commision for only about 2 weeks, but for some reason it's taken a lot longer than expected to get my body back in sync since then. My hamstring has been right on the the edge since then, which has certainly affected my training. And, I've had to keep my mileage low (and have not been able to train optimally) because of it.
But, that's Ok. My running has felt much better for the past 3-4 weeks, so that is reassuring. I thought I had a faster race in me today, but I was wrong. It's just the way it is. Next time....
Excellent performances today by many others: Mike, Ben, Steve, Clyde, Dave, Kassie, Bryant (course record), and others. Fun race. Perfect weather.

| Nothing fancy. Didn't decide to do this race until I woke up this morning. Splits: 5:03, 5:10, 5:04, :30 (.11). Felt Ok, but not great. But, I can't really expect more based on where my fitness is currently. Fun race. Great weather. Very flat course. Stacked race. Many great performances. In my opinion, Scott stole the show today: 15:11 (PR) -- Excellent race! Josh E. also had an exceptional race (improved his time from last year by ~ 2 min).
