| 10 miles @ 8:35/mi. Trefoil to mouth of Provo Canyon with Kevin and Wayne.
Very enjoyable run. A little chilly at first. On the drive up South Fork we saw a bull moose eating leaves off a tree at the wedding reception facility. It was huge and impressive.
Paul pushed hard the two miles between Nunn and Timpanogos parks, pulled away from me and Wayne the first mile (7:37) but we closed on me the second mile and were quickly gaining as Paul faded (8:14).
I was pleased with 8:35/mi overall, about 3:45 marathon pace. We didn't really push the pace except those two miles. The best part was all three of being able to run at about that same pace despite our old agedness.

Left late and didnt have time for a long run, but a short run is better than no run. Always good to run with my kids.

| 6 miles @ 10:38/mi. Water tank hills with Kevin and Paul.
Beautiful morning. School starts tomorrow so we'll be back running at 5:30am instead of 6:00am, so with the shortening days we'll soon be back to dark runs.
The water tank hills are still as steep as ever. It was nice to have company going up. I was super tired on account of back to back 5 hour nights. Didn't feel like pushing today though I did have to push going up after I stopped at the restroom after the first of 5 hills. Paul and Wayne didn't stop for me and it was a good thing. I didn't want to push but did so until I caught them on hill 4. I also pushed on hill 5 and finished 30 seconds ahead of them. Paul was just holding back since he ran a fast half marathon last Saturday. I know he could have gone faster.

| 15 miles @ 9:57/mi Trefoil to past Nunns, back to Vivian, back up South Fork a bit
I met Paul and Wayne at Vivian then drove in a single car up to the top of South Fork. Our plan was to run to the mouth of the canyon then back up to Vivian (15+ miles). We met Larry and Jo between Nunns and Timpanogos and decided to turn to head back up earlier than planned so we could run with them for a little while. They turned back at Bridal Veil. We continued on to Vivian.
After we got to Vivian we still needed a couple of more miles so we headed back up South Fork. It was a good run and I felt good even to the end running up the hills.
Amazingly had plenty of energy throughout the rest of the day.

| 6 miles @ 9:25/mi. Murdock trail north with Paul.
This was just an easy run until we got passed about 2 miles in by a single male runner. We joked with him as he passed that we could run with him if we wanted to, but let him go by. But when we heard additional footsteps behind us, without saying anything to each other we gradually picked up the pace and passed him back though our intent was merely to stay ahead of the additional runners. Felt good to pick up the pace a bit.
Tried out some new Asics GT2000 2s this morning and have pretty much decided that I dont like them. I will give them one additional run on Wednesday before I send them back but I think they are too stiff and just not cushioned enough. That is too bad because I really liked the $63 sale price and I have run in the GT2000s for more than a decade. Other longtime GT2000 users also complained about the stiffness and so they rev'd the shoe quickly and already have a GT2000 3 out. Hopefully that one is better. It is more expensive tho'. Oh well.

| 17 miles @ 9:57/mi pace from Trefoil down towards Utah Lake with Paul and Wayne.
Felt good except felt really slow at the start. Was feeling much better 5 or 6 miles into the run and could have picked up the pace substantially. We did actually get faster as we went along.
