Long run today with James, Scott and Brayden.  Started at the top of Big Mountain to Little Mountain down Emigration Canyon to Liberty Park finishing with a couple of laps there.  Tried to simulate STG as much as possible.  Overall a good run.  

Took it easy down Big Mountain, well as easy as you can down the steep parts.  About a mile before Little Mountain started a tempo with James up Little Mountain to the bottom of the Canyon.  James put a little distance on me going up Little Mountain, but I was happy with my pace going up.  Started the faster miles down the canyon.  Didn't look at my watch going down as I knew I was going faster than planned.  I felt ok and stayed with James down.   

Splits for the 10 (6:48, 7:37, 6:58, 6:10, 6:19, 6:07, 6:11, 6:05, 6:07, 6:08) - 6:27 avg

Finished the 21 miles with 6:49 average overall.

Happy with todays run, glad I could maintain faster splits down the canyon.  Hopefully this bodes well for St. George.

Last long run before St. George.  Did 21 miles with average pace of 7:02.

Started about 2 miles above Little Mountain and run up it, down Emigration and back home to my house in Holladay.  I have done this run the last 2 years before St. George, so it is a decent gauge of my fitness.  Happy with the run overall.  Did a 10 mile tempo in the middle of the run down the canyon and into the valley a little. Splits (6:09, 6:20, 6:18, 6:08, 6:11, 6:13, 6:16, 6:24, 6:16, 6:10) - 6:14 average.  Went much better than expected.  Didn't know how I would feel after hard run last weekend.  Tired, but happy with the run.

10 miles around Holladay with James and Scott.  A little rain on the run, but it was not too bad.  3 MP miles in the middle (6:31, 6:24. 6:32).  Felt good, hopefully ready for next week.
