AM - Club Tempo.  Arrived early and was able to get in 3'ish+ miles with Craig C before everyone else showed up. Not a very big group this morning. I think a lot of people are out of town or doing the Parowan Half this weekend.  I woke up in a bad mood so I really wasn't too excited about the tempo but was able to somehow get myself going.  Ended up cooling down with Aaron. Then came home and did another mile with Kendra. Here's how it went:  

5:51, 5:49, 5:41, 5:42, 5:48, 5:51, 5:56

5:59, 5:59, 5:47, 5:46, 5:50, 5:40 - Last week

5:41, 5:39, 5:35, 5:43, 5:28 - Last year same day

The good new with this year's training is my tempo's are longer - the bad news is my speed is down a bit. I think the main reason is my weight is up about 8-10 lbs.  If I can get that down in the next little while I think I will be doing well.

PM - Met-up with Aaron M. at the DC and did an easy 6 miles.  Luckly it was a little overcast and the temps dropped right before we started.

Hey Jon, Things are well! We have been plugging along trying to balance Family, Work and Running. It's great to see how well your running is going! I can't wait to start doing more trail races!
