Long run. Met Matt, Scott, Zak, Reed, Fritz and Josh at the soccer fields in Orem. Ran our standard 10 up (although the pace was less than standard, 7:05). 8 temp down, splits: 4:56, 5:07, 5:11, 5:33, 5:17, 5:21, 5:19, 5:21. 5:15 avg. Felt really good, although that first mile was a shock. Thanks Fritz!. 2 back to the car and the a couple miles in grass loops. Ran the tempo portion with Scott. Our watches were wildly out of sync, never can tell with the Garmin in a canyon but it should be pretty close. It was a lot of fun running with such talented guys.
