11 miles on the TM and 5 on the stairmaster.  I would have rather been outside but the TM is a softer surface and I can stop before I get carried away running a big loop.  Averaged around 6:45 and felt fairly smooth.

Jeremy Ranch run with Brandon, Matt, Scott and Jake then trotted around the BMX bike course at Trailside Elementary with my nephew. That place is a kid's paradise with soccer fields, concrete skate park and amazing BMX pump tracks and downhill courses.

Great way to spend Labor Day.

A little sore from yesterday but more tired than anything else.  I will try to mix in some faster stuff this week to test the hamstring. 

Free! 5k this weekend at the U.  It's basically the same route as the Law Day run which isn't flat.

Ran out to my office along Holladay Blvd and back home. I was trying really hard to run 7:30s but I ended up going too far so I had to speed up on my way back.  I wore the Nike Free 360s and I think 13 miles is about the max I am willing to wear to them on the road.

PM: 2.25 miles at the gym on the TM the hamstring PT. Mixed in quite possibly my first ever 8 minute mile on the treadmill.  It was very nice.  

8 is new the 6:30 with the hope that 5:18 becomes the old 5:25.

I wore the Altra Instincts which I am really starting to like.  The bigger toe box fits my foot perfectly.

Great run on a perfect fall day with Scott and Matt. We started at the park in Orem, turned up South Fork road, and turned around at the 10 mile point a mile or so past Vivian Park.  That is where I wish I had a camera because the leaves look amazing  We averaged 7:13 on the way up and from there we started our 10 mile marathon'ish pace tempo.  In the first couple of miles I got just ahead of Scott but from there our paces were basically the same.  Matt was taking it a little easier to preempt another hamstring issue. Both these guys are sure to have great races at SGM.

Splits: 5:05,5:11,5:08,5:25,5:14,5:12,5:12,5:22,5:26,5:24. Tailwind going down but hard to know for which miles.
