Total Distance
20.00

I got up nice and early for a 20 mile run with Cody.  We went up Blacksmith Fork Canyon 10 miles and then came back down.  Jon met up with us about 5 miles up the canyon.  I forgot how crazy the headwind is going up the first 10 miles.  It was fun talking with these two about Wasatch Back and a bunch of other running related topics.  The weather was perfect so it made the run that much better.  At mile 16, I started my 4 mile tempo run to finish out the long workout.  I hit 5:04, 5:04, 5:02, and 5:01 for the miles.  I was very happy about this.  This was a nice way to finish out the week.  I had to hurry afterwards in order to get to the track meet at Logan High which lasted all day.

Thanks for the company! You were flying that last 4. It didn't take long to lose sight of you.

It is impressive the amount of miles you put in. How long did it take you to build up such endurance? I would like know how long it is going to take me to reach your almost untoucable level.

Distance,

I have been running for 4 years now. I hit 100 miles in one week once before the Ogden Marathon last year. When I first started running, I was just doing 30-40 miles a week and slowly worked my way up. I incorporated two-a-days last year and that has helped tremendously. I think it is key to slowly build your mileage up. Good luck with the training. What is your real name?

Good workout today my Young Jedi Knight! Yes Knight! If you win the little track competition you could soon become the master of all. Yoda's Daddy or something.

Another masterful run - good job.
