Mouth of Provo Canyon, 5:30
We were thinking of a 8-10 mile run with a 4 mile tempo.

So what is the point in starting at the mouth? Are you wanting to run up the canyon or down? If you want to have the 8-10 miles then it seems that the 2 to get to the canyon is the warmup and then 4 miles tempo and then running out from the canyon is 2 so there is 8 or 10 if we run up a few miles and then have a 4 mile down. I am not opposed to starting other places, but I would like to balance changing with those constants that we have, because it seems that more people are now kicking it in gear to train and having the few starting places as constants is perhaps helpful for those that might join us. The most important aspect is yes - I do beleive that we do need that tempo running - I think the choices of where are really very open. I'll bet you did not count on such an editorial opinion, did you. I will check again tonight - I am just a little lamb and follow everyone around.
We would like to do a 4 mile tempo. It's easier to do the tempo without having to do the gas station, etc within. So for simplicity... run up the canyon 4-5 miles tempo all the way back.
It's also nice for a change. That's just my .02 anyway.
I have already let my people (who never check the blog)know that we are meeting at the mouth so that is where some of us will be. I am usually just a follower too because I know that anything I do with the group is better, farther and faster that what I would be doing on my own. I love a change also but I understand that it creates an opportunity for people to be excluded if they dont know about the blog or are not in the habit of checking it.
Hope THE movie was good and that you don't stay up with creepmares all night! We are going on Saturday.
J2, I understand your concern for those being sent the way of the soccer park to meet people to run with, but in all fairness, "we" are not in charge of them, the other "leaders" are. And for those who know about the blog, that is the constant in all this. The blog is a way for us to change things up every once in a while to prevent boredom and staleness!!! We are glad that you check it and thus will comment on what you want to do, and love comments from anyone and everyone (except creepy people who say they are watching us!) If the majority want to meet somewhere other than a suggested location, then of course, it would be changed . These are simply suggested locations and workouts, and everyone can do what works best for them. You're awesome, John, and hope to see you somewhere along the route tomorrow morning.
Glad that you enjoyed the movie. Sorry to have caused some contention. I guess when I read, that you were "thinking of" - that I took it as a question and not a statement. I can see now it was a statement. Both of you are the 'leaders' even if you would think otherwise. If it was a cold January morning no one would be getting out of their cars until either or both of you arrived. The dynamics of the group have changed and just like in the past when John1 or Phil would come then they would pile out of the cars - it is now each of you. So we will see you in the morning. And now I can post this and pretty well know that no one will read it, cause we should all be tucked into bed right now with thoughts of batman jumping through our heads.

So what's the verdict? Anyone? I'm going to THE movie. Leave a comment as to what everyone wants and I'll be there.

Glad that you enjoyed the movie.
