20.5 miles in Spanish Fork (from Brandon's home) with Mike, Brandon, Chad, Chris, Reed, and Dave. Great run in a running-paradise type of area. Fun crew. 8 mile warm-up, 4.5 mile warm-down.

Did 8-mile tempo in ~5:30 average (used a flat 2.5 mile loop for this). Was VERY windy (wind was coming out of the canyon), so mile splits ranged from 5:19 to the upper 5:30's, depending on what part of the loop we were on. It felt like the entire tempo was at about 5:25 effort.

Felt very strong. Mike and I worked together. Mike looked very strong and smooth. All the guys did well, and did varying lengths of tempo. Thanks, Brandon, for a great running location!

Great LR and tempo session Matt. Good crew this morning. Glad it went well. Love how good a shape everyone is getting in. Can this wind just be done?! It was here in Texas this morning too :) makeithappen

Awesome group and run. Things really seem to be clicking for you. That's a solid effort for sure. Great job Matt!

Wow, awesome workout. What a great group you all have to run with and push each other. Keep it up.

@Spencer, the wind is always on in Spanish :).

Thanks for coming down Matt! Always a pleasure.
