11 miles on the trails with Ben, Jon, and Matt, avg pace 8:02/mile. We're on trails almost the whole run, but there's some road here and there connecting the trails. While on said road section, a young college-aged kid came within an inch of hitting Ben with his side mirror and did it intentionally. Then he had the nerve to stop turn around and so us how little command he has of the English language by cussing at us for being in the road. He had no remorse for almost hitting Ben and was on the verge of wanting to fight us. That's our future, America...sheesh.

AEROBIC BUILDER: FARTLEK

I met Ken, Ben, and Jason at the pond for a big boy workout. The plan for me was ten miles alternating 5:30-paced miles with 5:05-paced miles. We did three-mile warmup with a few strides and then we were off.

I felt pretty good through six miles, but once I hit the pedestrian bridge up and over I-15 I got breathing hard and from there it became more difficult to get my breathing back under control and get back in rhythm. But overall it turned out really well.

Splits: 5:30, 5:00, 5:28, 5:00, 5:28, 5:00, 5:38, 5:03, 5:33, 5:03 for a 5:17 overall average.

Lunchtime: 5 miles easy, no watch.

LONG MODERATE-PACED PROGRESSIVE-ISH RUN

I met Jon, Ken, Denver, and Ben at the pond at 5:00. We decided late last night after watching the Utah football game together to go long today. We ate a ton of calories during the game, so fuel shouldn't be an issue. We got going and all felt pretty sluggish. But over time we got going. The weather was hot and windy. We were all pretty thirsty throughout the run. Jon, Ken, and I traded leads into the wind in the middle miles. Overall pace for me was 6:35/mile. I got going pretty good towards the end and my last two miles were sub-6:00 without any conscious effort to pick it up; I just organically kept slowly bringing the pace down. So all in all a great run and it's the furthest run I've ever done.

12.3 miles on the Skyline Trail from Windsurfer Beach about 3/4 of the way to Lewis Peak with Jon, avg pace 8:41/mile. It was beautiful up there and had a nice chill in the air this morning, which was a nice change of pace from the hotter mornings earlier this week. After we got breakfast at Dylan's on 12th Street...good morning.
