Lone peak park.  Met the girls. Summer Jane and Kim. Ran three warmup 3 x 2 miles at hopefully 7:30.  Well head wind last two sets.  Slowed after first mile of first set bc I was way too fast.  Jogged 1/2 mile in between. Last one I walked a minute before steady pace but not as fast last mile.  Head wind ferocious. And thighs icicles. Didn't need to take off my long sleeve like the others. 8:45/8:15/8:09 pace for warm up. 7:10/7:26.    Half mile jog.  7:30/7:43.     Jog half mile.  7:35/ walk a min then steady not trying to go fast. 8:11.

Five up to balsam campground from two miles into right fork. Kim drove us-Jane Melanie summer. Melody Julie e.  Ran huffy and puffy the five miles with no stopping.  4.83 on my watch. 43:46.  So basically 9 even.  9:10/8/55/8:52/8:56/9:20 if we went to 5. But got there at 4.83 miles. Alone up.  30 seconds behind summer.  But half course adds 0.1.  Ran 13 miles passing finish and going longer.   Those 13 miles :  7:41/7:36/7:30/7:09/7:14/7:15/7:52 purposefully slowed.  Only half cup water and two swings of no calorie Powerade and one bite of a chewy granola bar at mile 10 back at Kim's car.  Then we stopped again at fork after up hill on left.  I just had water then too.  A couple sips. This was mile 11.83.  Ran the pathway at our mile  13.  7:58/7:58/7:49 mile 15.  Stopped where my car was.  Oh yah got lost on way to mapleton Park in dark so ended up parking there at reservoir with melody and Julie e.  Thought I was quitting there but Melanie convinced me to run with her.  Julie e and melody were done. Kim summer and Jane stopped for a bit just before mile 15 so they left a few minutes after us for our last three. I told Melanie I would go if we slowed it down.   We didn't stop and ran 8:26/8:11/7:53 last mile.  Just jogging. Not pushing pace at all.  Our legs were tired. I also got a small plastic water from Julie e before we left them at mile 15.  Stop time up top 3.5 min. Per Garmin. Then Mel said it was 930 am when we finished and we started the 13 miles at 7:32:30 so that's 1:40:39 running time. Makes the time 7:13 am.  So 17 min of stopping on way down?? Probs six  min kims car. 45 sec Melanie to take caffeine. Me nothing. Five min after fork.  Then 4.5 min at mile 15 and 30 seconds asking directions at mile 16.5. It was fun running end with Melanie like good ol days.  Ate a Kirkland protein bar and Powerade no calories at finish.  Total avg pace 8:01.
