Met Tim and Randy White with Bro Thomson at the Seminary at 5:30am, which sucked after getting to bed at 1:00am after getting home late from the meet at Logan last night.  Drove up Butterfield about 4 miles and started in the dark.  Ran down the canyon, along Bacchus down 11800 s to DayBreak lake, around the lake, down to 4000 wback to 11800 s to 2700 w, down to Redwood, and then 1.5 miles out and back on Redwood.  

I had some magor stomach issues the whole time, except the last 3-4 miles.  Stopped 9 times in potties, Tim's house and then everywhere I could find one.  Most miserable 20 miler of my life.  7:31 ave.

Legs are stiff and knee is way stiff!  I got up at 5:00am and headed to Mona.  Picked up Dad, Mom, and Josiah and heade up to Bear Canyon, Mom drove my car home.  I started at 8:55 pace with Dad and Josiah took off.  The next 3 miles got quicker, but I stayed with Dad still.  stopped at 4 to go potty and caught Dad at the drink pant.  Then I took off a bit and started going sub 7:00s to Nephi.  In Nephi got a drink at the par and hit the north headwind going back to Mona.  Felt ok considering being stiff and having a messed up knee.  Finally saw Josiah by the wrecking yard and didn't catch him until after Burraston's hill.  Stayed just under 8:00 pace going up and into the wind.  Finished the run and then did an extra mile around town.  2:28:45 for the run, 7:26 ave

Josiah ran well, but opposite of me, he went fast and then died off.  Dad did well too.

Greg stayed over last night and we got up early to run.  The plan was to run up the canyon with me and tag team with Chris and he would run down with me.  Greg and I did the first mile together at 8:54 and the 2nd in 7:55 then I lost him until the Cove and he did the 4th with me and then fell off.  He has been feeling tired and sick, so I kept pluggimg along.  I actually felt ok today and the knee pain was minimal most of the time.  I made it up the canyon and turned around at 1:19:00 and felt decent coming down.  Chris ran from the mouth down to my house and we averaged 6:35 according to his watch.  My total time was 2:24:41, my best in a couple of years as far as I can tell.  I felt ok most of the time and did well with drinks and salt stick capsules.  Had 8 miles under 6:40 with a 5:57 last mile.  Greg and Chris were great to join me and help me out today and I appreciated the company.  7:14 ave for the run.

Ran from Alta down the Wasatch Blvd with Greg.  Beautiful day up top and the colors were amazing!  We were slow (7:24) first mile because it takes me so long to get my injured knee moving,  After that I progressed almost every mile until the last 2 miles.  Last mile was 6:60 and my 7th was 5:30,  6:07 ave for the run.  Got a blood blister on my lfet big toe and a blister on my right little toe form the Hokas being to narrow.  Good run over all though and the weather was nice.

Drove up Butterfield in the rain and parked at around the usual spot. Greg ran up and got my car and took it back to the mouth. I got really wet in the first 3 miles and then I don't remember after that. My first mile was 6:25 even being sore and my knee super stiff. I started to average 6:00 pace or bellow and tried to keep it up, but the last miles was 6:20 going up to the purple park and I ended up averaging 6:01, and 1:00:8 for the run. Happy with this run!

Went to the Tempe with Greg and met Chris there afterward
