Huge group run this morning. 30+ people at the start. Good to see some old friends (Chase, Danny, Bryce) and many new ones. 

 Started off easy (relatively) for the first 3 miles (7:10 -> 6:40). 6:30's for the next 2. Then Kotter and Ian picked it up and dragged us through 10 around 6:00's. Grabbed a drink and some gu at the cars and headed up the canyon.

 Averaged 6:30's up the canyon (last mile was 6:10). Got another drink at Bridal Veil waterfall. Fritz, Jake and Matt took off for a tempo run. Scott, Justin and I ran a little easier. 6's for the first 3 then 6:40ish for the last 2. 

I felt good the whole time. A little fatigued from the miles but surprisingly steady throughout the run.

 I'm looking forward to more runs like this. Couldn't ask for a better group to train with.
