Great run with Toni, Matt, Mike, Spencer, Reed, and others. Why do they have to be so far away? Matt did an uphill tempo at Provo Canyon, we had gone ahead so when he passed us I glommed on and held on for dear life. It felt good, but I could feel the lactic reservoir gradually filling and by the time I had gone .6 or so it was at the top so I dropped back. He's amazing - 5:40s and 5:30s uphill? Yoinks. I can't believe I actually beat him at HCH last year. I will be shocked if he doesn't go under 1:11. I ran a 2:20 880 with Reed on the way down, that was nice. Everything else was 6s, 7s, and one 8.

Thanks! It really is fun to run with the group, I wish you all lived closer. That 5k you did at the end looked pretty solid.
