6 miles around Wheeler Farm. There was a sign pointing into the parking lot that said "Beef". So of course I was interested and checked things out. To my disappointment, they were not selling delicious steaks nor were there any muscular men walking around in speedos. It was some kind of farmers market with people selling homemade items. Lame.

10 miles with Rebekah. I made her start out slower because my old body just can't jump into 7:10 pace! We still ran an overall pace of 7:09 but the first mile was a 7:50. I felt better. Beautiful sunrise, the sky looked on fire! And there was a rainbow over the west side of the valley. Breathtaking!

9 miles around Murray. I swear I saw Jake K running along 1300 East, turned at 5300 South into a neighborhood, then south on 900 East. Jake, if this was you, please verify. If not, there is someone who has cloned you and is running in the Murray area in the mornings.

2 mile warm up. 6 mile tempo. 2 mile cool down. I haven't run any speed since Murray 5K so I wasn't expecting anything spectacular. I am didn't feel like puking at the end so that was a bonus. 6:25 AP for the tempo. 

No Jake K sightings today.

6 miles with Rebekah at Wheeler Farm. It was humid, hot and windy. Must be Pioneer Day. It felt weird not having Allie in Utah running DesNews. 7:09 AP.

18 miles with Emily. It was rough. I don't know what's going on with me mentally and physically. Running is hard and I just can't find any motivation. 7:16 AP.
