AM:  Track workout. 10 miles. Met Toni, Spencer, and Reed at Lone Peak High School. 4 mile warm-up, then 2 laps of pick-ups on the straightaways, then a quarter pick-up.  Then, did a 5k on the track in 16:29. Felt strong and relaxed. Didn't over-do it; had quite a bit left in the tank. Plenty for today, though. The others looked great.

Wore Saucony's for the first time ever today. Last week I bough a pair of the Kinvara 4's (first time I had ever tried a pair of Saucony's on). I shouldn't have :) I'm officially addicted. Absolutely loved them.

PM:  5 miles easy up and down Provo Canyon with Spencer. It's hot out! Hamstring and upper body weights.

AM:  Provo Freedom 5k. 16:18. I'm not pleased with my time, but I am pleased with my effort. I felt strong the whole time; I just couldn't go any faster. I have no excuses. I do know that I need some speed training, though (gradually and using wisdom); 5k pace is foreign to me right now (I've done no training at 5k pace). First 2 miles were flat, most of 3rd mile was uphill. My mile splits were 5:07, 5:14, and 5:25. Had a fun time. Great competition today. I've got a lot of work to do. I'm pleased with my effort today (but certainly not satisfied).

PM:  5 easy miles in the Uinta Mountains while camping.

AM:  21.5 easy miles in the Uinta Mountains while camping, from 7,200-8,200 feet of elevation (out-and-back; up first). Gorgeous running up here the past few days. Can feel the elevation while climbing, but that's a good thing.
