15.00	5.00	0.00	0.00	20.00

20 miles up and down American Fork canyon (from Reed's home) with Reed and Chad. Mike and Toni joined us for 6 miles and then turned around (wise move given they are both racing Utah Valley Marathon next week). A lot of uphill, and a lot of downhill. My legs were fatiqued.

After running 10 miles up the canyon, we did a 5 mile tempo down the canyon (starting at the fork going up to Tibble Fork). My average pace was 5:10. Cardiovascularly felt very easy, but my legs were toast (especially my hamstrings), so I made sure to hold back some. Chad was on fire today (average tempo in the 5-teens), and Reed looked great as always (average pace low 5-twenties).

Beautiful morning. Can't beat running this time of year.

Nice work Matt. Great tempos for those guys.

Solid run Matt!

Oddly I have never run in that canyon. Glad I to hear Reed is still running. I haven't seen him since January.
