Provo River Trail with a big group. 10 up to a little past south fork.

10 miles @ MP effort down the canyon (5:21 avg).

I was hoping for a little faster but the effort was right for the day, well under the red-line. Ran with Matt the whole way. I felt good today, but not great.  1 more mile of grass loops with Matt, Scott and Brandon, I then hurried over to Lakeridge Jr. High to run a 5K with my son, Ezra. He ran 23:50, a big PR for him. The first 1/4 mile were complete torture but the rest was a blast.
