Ran with Kerry and Paul in the afternoon. It was sunny and felt colder than I expected. The temperature was in the low 30's with a cold breeze at times. Kerry had a little stomach distress in the middle of the run.

We went a little over 13 miles and averaged 8:32/mi overall. After warming up we started out at about 8:13/mi for the next few miles. We gradually slowed as we turned north and headed uphill for a while. Kerry had stashed water and Gatorade at a couple of places, and we also stopped for a bio-break at Kohlers. I feel like we held a pretty good pace throughout the run, and we finished pretty strong, averaging 7:52/mi for last 2.2 miles.

Ran 5 miles on the BYU track at an average 7:25 pace. The first mile was at 7:50 and each mile therafter was between 7:10 and 7:20.

The Air Force ROTC was there and would merge onto the track in waves "racing" me for a lap or two each time. I had some good tunes on my ipod and the racing made it kind of fun even though I was working pretty hard.

Paul and I ran a variation on the normal Orem route this morning. We kept each other going at a pretty good pace and averaged 7:52/mi for 6.3 miles.

We ran down Main to 400 S, over to 400 E, down to Center, over to 800 E, up to 1600 N, then down to Main and home. After the hill on 8the East we did the first 1/2 mile of the downhill at 6:50/mi then averaged 6:30/mi for the second 1/2 mile, both of us finishing with a pretty strong kick.

We both felt like we had worked hard and felt very good about the run.
