Another great run with a huge crew of ~33. We started at the Orem soccer field, ran a 10 mile out and back on a flat path, regrouped, then ran another out and back up and down Provo Canyon. At the 15 mile point we refueled with drinks dropped by Toni (thanks Toni!) and then did a few miles at marathon pace down the canyon. Jake, Matt and I started together but Jake quickly pulled away. Matt and I ended up with a couple miles at ~5:15 and one at around 5:20. Although I don't have the authority I am awarding Matt the Official Seal of Awesomeness for his efforts today. Jake, Scott, Justin, Brandon, Dan, Chad, Kevin, Toni, Matt and many more also ran strong. Next week will probably organize a run closer to that city we call Salt Lake.

Love it! Couldn't agree more that the official seal of awesomeness goes to Matt. The guy is an animal. Brandon Dase as well.

Thanks Fritz. But you didn't mention you had an extra gear than I did. I may have done a couple at ~5:15, but I was more like 5:30 after that. You looked amazingly strong as usual. Was fun to hang with you for awhile. What a sweet link -- that Official Seal of Awesomeness picture is classic! I'm in for the Salt Lake County run next week.

I like the seal, and think you definitely have the authority to decide who gets it.

Great running this morning. I'll send you some training plan outlines / docs when I'm not on my iPad

Thanks for making the commute down to Utah County. I agree with your award--Matt had a great run. Jakes 3 miles in 15:24 after a 16 mile warm up at 6:20 pace wasn't too shabby either--without any carbs or water.
