Met up with Zak and Karl at Karl's house for a long run. We ran 11 miles up Provo Canyon, ending up about 1 mile up south fork road. We ran a bit quicker than I'm used to for the "easy" portion. I was feeling it by the time we got to the top. 6:55 pace. 

The plan was, supposedly, 8-10 at 5:30 pace. I was feeling pretty beat given all the miles and had no idea how it would go. I made it 8: (5:24, 5:32, 5:25, 5:18, 5:20, 5:24, 5:26, 5:43). 5:27 avg. The 3 of us ran together the first 7. It felt really good.  Zak dropped off at 7 with a calf issue. Karl and I continued through 8. The last mile was all uphill and I kept the effort the same.

I'm happy with the workout. It's my biggest mileage week yet.

Great workout, Mike! Very nice. And great week! (and all while traveling, which is even more impressive). I can tell you are hungry... I love it!
