Met up at the park trail in Lehi. Ran the first 5 miles with Scott, Kelli, Smooth, Rachel, and Jona, and Misty and Sarah and the mystery man. There was a pretty brisk head wind. We turned around and Scott and I ran together at a 7:30 pace for the rest of the 15 miles. We ran south till it ended and came back the last 4 of 5 miles in the head wind again. I wanted to do a mile at a fast tempo pace so I convinced Scott to do one mile at the 18 mile to 19 mile mark. I did a 5:45 in a head wind and with a little hill close to to the end of the mile. I felt good. I ran into Melanie from the BBK group and talked to her and her sister and then Scott and I did a one mile cool down to make a total of 20 miles. I really wanted to hit a 70 mile week this week, but got busy with work and home projects.

Nice job Walter! I'm glad you got some good fast miles in there after you ditched us :) Thanks for the uphill tips, I'm going to try and put them to use this week! Maybe they'll make me as fast as you :)

Nice distance today Walter. Sad I missed all of guys.

Awww, what are the uphill tips RAD? Share on our next run.

Rachel, I had a great run with you guys. Im glad I could run with you for a while. I promise, just because you have a long stride, doesnt make you a slower runner. your stepping far less than other runners in a marathon or half marathon. BJ Christiensen is living proof of that. He has the longest stride ive ever run next to.

Becca, way to rip it up today. I was supposed to leave out of town today but it got postponed till tomorrow and they wouldnt let me in the Provo River half so I did a nice run with our little group.

Nice job on the 20 Walter James!! :)

Way to hit that stinkin' fast mile straight into the wind!

You rock!
