Logan met at my house and we traveled over to Logan to run with Jon's club.  Paul and Dan were there.  We drove up Blacksmith Fork a ways, parked, and ran the last 3 miles up.  On the way back we stayed together for a few miles then split up to do some marathon pace miles.  Logan and Paul took off, Jon and I ran together and Dan and Russ Bennett ran together, so it worked out perfectly.  This run was like a progression run, we started at a 7:50 mile and ened with a 5:50 mile, and after we started going down the canyon (the last 17 miles)  we were under 7 minute pace.  Jon and I got down around 6:30 pace by 10 miles and and started into marathon pace.  We hit 6:00-6:10 for 5 miles, and then dropped under 6:00 pace for the last 5 miles.  I was telling Jon how I was running faster today than I was in my race last week, kind of funny.  We got done and had some bagels and juice, drove Paul and Dan back up to their cars, and delivered some peaches before heading home.  It was a very good run, and fun to visit with the guys.  Thanks to Jon for a great workout.  We averaged 6:30 pace for the whole run.

(Omni- 129 miles)

Thanks again for the "sweet" deal on the peaches. Stacy and I will be making 2 sets of cobbler tonight.
