20 miles, large crew, mostly in Provo canyon. Great run. 8 easy miles up to Vivian Park. Then, did 8 tempo miles from Vivian to Will's Pit Stop on University (heading south into Provo). Tempo went better than expected. Mike, Scott, and I ran shoulder-to-shoulder the entire time.

8-mile tempo:  5:11 average (5:17, 5:16, 5:07, 5:05, 5:16, 5:09, 5:09, 5:08).

Note to self:  Nike Pegasus are NOT good shoes for tempo.  Equipment doesn't make the runner, but boy did these shoes feel heavy and non-responsive today.

Went to breakfast afterword to celebrate Brandon's birthday.

Great run and nice tempo. Sounds like the Vivian Park runs are starting early this year. I know what you mean about clunky shoes. I wore some 10 mm drop New Balance cushioned shoes today and I didn't feel quick at all.

Great workout! A light, fleet-footed fellow like yourself can benefit from lighter shoes. It's nice to get the right feel even if it doesn't make a a tremendous difference.

Way to handi cap it today bro :). Thanks so much. Always a ball!

Nice tempo Matt. We'll have to come see the UT valley crew before long.

From Tristram on Sat, Mar 29, 2014 at 20:52:32 from 71.219.147.158

And imagine how easy that tempo would have been without those ankle weights! Well done, Matt. That's a great run.

Nice run Matt!
