Ran with Walter and Rob from Sugar House to the sharp turn near the top of Emigration and back. I extended about 1/4 mile at the top and then tried my best to catch back up. I was holding about 5:45 but their lead was just enough that I never caught them until they stopped for water at Ruth's Diner. We started slowly from Ruth's but by the time we rounded the corner and could see the opening of the valley we were hitting 6s or slightly under.

Overall it was a good run and will probably be my last 20+ miler until the Buffalo Run in 2 weeks. I still feel weakened from my lingering sickness but at least the worst is behind me. Thanks to Walter and Rob for making the run less boring and for pushing me to run a faster pace than I would have done alone.

Great run Fritz! That is the same run Jake and I did last week. I hope your left calf doesn't bug you much the next few days.

That's a good end to a tough week for you Fritz. Take care of yourself.

Good run Fritz - glad you are feeling better. Chad is right, watch that left calf this week!

i can gladly say that i don't have any problem with my left calf, thank goodness. the left hip has been the major problem.

Glad you made it out Walter.
