I ran out to GU Corner only to find that the cooler wasn't there and then I panicked cuz I didn't have any water with me but I headed down into the river bottoms and then headed back to the house... I knew where some water was a bout 2 miles from my house so I headed to there and was able to get a drink, after the drink I decided to run pretty little hill and then get another drink and then just run by my house where I knew I could get a drink. I then headed out towards Payson to tack on a couple more miles and I ran into Chad and Pat and Jason they had run down Payson canyon so I hooked up with them and ran a few and I was able to get a cool drink about a mile from my house and it was oh so good! It was fun running with them, they are good guys and they really pulled me along those last few miles. My Average pace for the run was 8:36 and total time was 2:35:15 with a average HR of 143, I started out at about a nine minute pace and then I got stronger on the last half of the run which felt good. I probably averaged a sub 8:30 pace on the last half which is a good sign and I felt like accomplished something good today, I felt like I could have kept going! I am hopeful that I can keep this up all the way to SG, and I think I will have a good race! I'm getting in some quality long runs right now.

See ya Monday.
