Ran with the Chumps again.  Got there late and they were still there SWEET!!  So I had 2 options 13 at a fast pace or go for 20 and slower pace.  Opted for the 20 and went slower.  Since I really need to work on my endurance over speed at the moment.  So ran with the group instead of going out faster.  Only Brook was going to go 18 so hung with groups up till about 17 miles when it was just me and JohnnyV.  Did hit a few faster miles with him close to 8 but only a few.  And was going to go faster for the last ones.  But ended up just hanging in there for the last ones as it started to get hotter.  Overall a great run with friends.:)

Will probably go for a swim with the wife later.  Should help loosen up the muscles.:)

PM-  Was going to go for a bike ride.  As we were just about to head out it started raining and only got worse.  So called it good for the bike and headed to Kearns fitness to swim.  But ran into more problems there due to the swim meet.  Tons of people there and only 1 lane for swimming laps.  So packed up our gear and headed to Taylorsville to get in a swim at the gym.  Had to wait just a bit to get into a free lane there and got in a good 30 min swim.  Felt pretty good.  Was kind of cold at first but just perfect after a few.  My legs are feeling great now though.  Got to love a good swim.  Might start doing that more after a long run too.:)

Nice even training splits over the 20...good trainer! How are you doing your hydration on your longs. Are you packin' or stashin' or both?

From Brent on Sat, Jul 31, 2010 at 14:39:02 from 66.7.127.219

Mark, very solid run, good base work, no fading at the end. Good to see the chumps flying by, your group looked like you were doing faster than your splits indicated.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Mike- Thanks bro. It was more for getting in the longer run then pace for sure. It felt good to go long again.

Allie- Thanks Allie we actually talked about you some. And Paul was showing us how to run tangents better. I wish I could run as good as you. Dang your fast.

Tim- I 2nd that. Great way for sure to start the day. And with some friends too. Makes the miles fly by.

Slick- I pack all my hydration and fuel. Was actually nice that WRC had a aid station down there where we parked. It was nice and cool.

Brent- Yeah we were just cruising along when we saw you. I am sure you would of been able to run right along with us. One of these times when your not needing to run on the dirt trail you should join us man.:)

Nicely done, Mark!

So glad you chose to run slow!!! It is a rarity that I can run with you now-a-days! :)

Swimming: AAAAAaaaahhhh!!! Can't wait to hit the pool in the morning. :)

From Smooth on Sun, Aug 01, 2010 at 21:38:12 from 174.23.218.43

VERY AWESOME 20 miler! So did you run with Teena? I'm jealous! GOOD JOB on all the hard training! You're in great shape...a 10K PR...and all these tri training is pointing to a BQ in SGM!

From RivertonPaul on Mon, Aug 02, 2010 at 10:37:34 from 67.42.27.114

Way to hang in for the 20.

From JohnnyV on Wed, Aug 04, 2010 at 13:47:08 from 204.124.13.151

Thanks for the run. Sorry I slowed down at the end. I will try for better on our next long one.
