11.5 in 1:18:30 in 95+degrees heat. I was surprised at how good i felt today.  I didn't try to push the pace much but i was running much faster than usual and it felt pretty good.6:50 ave pace

6.5 easy miles in the heat after work.

A really good workout this morning with Garrett Stewart.  Met at SUU track and did 4x1600m with 800m jog between. 

times were: 5:31, 5:28, 5:25, 5:13

It seems so much easier to do these workouts when i don't have to do them alone.  Garrett and I seem to be able to push each other and our fitness levels are very similar. 

 finished off with some cool down miles.

7.5 in Blanding, Utah.

4th July 5K.  Legs hammies esp. were tight.  forgot to reset and start my watch so did that after the gun while i was running. Only got accurate splits on my second and third miles.  second mile was 5:59 (about 15 seconds slower than last year).  I had a highschool kid right on my shoulder so i kept testing him the first few miles then once we hit 2 miles i just dropped the hammer and ran a 5:07 and won running away.  ended bettering my my last years time by about 8 seconds.  The race starts and stops at the same place so it is a very fair course

Ran 10 more in the afternoon heat at 7:30 pace.  lots of up and down hills.
