10 easy miles from my home (Murdock Trail) with Mike, Reed, and Jeff. My legs are completely shredded. Ran ridiculously easy today (~ 8:10 average), because my legs are so thrashed, but I needed it. No speed for several days for me.

TRACK WORKOUT -- LEHI HIGH SCHOOL

I did 4-mile tempo in 21:18 (5:19 average) (5:21, 5:21, 5:20, 5:16). I felt very strong and relaxed. 

Mike, Reed, Chris, Chad, and Jeff did mile repeats. I decided to just do marathon pace so I could test out my calf, which felt great.

PM:  6 easy miles in Lehi.

22.5 miles up and down Provo Canyon. Great run with Fritz, Trevor, Jeff, Chris, and Jacob. 10 miles easy up the canyon (7:00 average), then 10 mile tempo down the canyon, then 2 mile warm down.

For the 10-mile tempo, I averaged 5:20, which is right where I wanted to be today. My splits ranged from 5:08 to the upper 5:20's, but most my splits were in the upper teens. Fritz killed it today (5:08 average for the tempo). Is he ready for St. George, or what? I thought about going with him, but I decided to stick to my plan and just go for marathon pace effort. I'm glad I did. I didn't want to over-do it (I've done that before). Trevor did great and hung with me for 8.5 miles. He's going to have a good race at St. George.

Beautiful, cool day for a run. The fall colors are already impressive up South Fork.

Workout at Lehi tempo loop with Nate, Trevor, Reed, Chad, Jeff, and Chris. Nate, Trevor, and I worked together.

Did a 10k workout:  5 x 1k @ 3:20 average (range 3:16-3:22), which is 5:21 min/mile pace; with 5 x 1k "rest" intervals in 3:51 average, which is 6:11 min/mile pace. Overall average pace for the entire 10k was 5:46 min/mile. Felt very good. Could have done many more intervals, but that's the point right now -- finishing feeling fresh.

20 miles on the flat Murdock Trail (starting in Orem) in 5:54 average with Mike, Iain Hunter, and Jason Witt. Ran 14 miles in 5:59 average, then ran 4 miles at marathon pace (5:36, 5:29, 5:24, 5:27), then 2 final miles in 6:20 each. Felt really good. Had a lot more in the tank, but that's the point.

Thought about doing one more marathon-pace mile, but decided to err on the side of caution and not over-do it. I ran with Iain throughout the tempo. Jason Witt ran with us for 3 tempo miles, and then his final 2 tempo miles were 5:14 and 5:11 (and this was a 25 mile run for him; he had done 5 miles before we started). These guys are in great shape. Mike did great as well -- he's finally kicking his sickness.

11 miles. Workout: with Nate, Mike, Trevor, Jeff, and Reed. 2 mile warm-up and warm down. Ran 2 x 3 mile intervals on the Lehi tempo loop, with 1 mile easy running in between. Averaged 5:32 pace for the first 3 miles, and 5:29 for the second 3 miles. Felt good. Mike, Nate, Trevor, and I worked together, which was fun!
