8 mile loop with Josh and Adam. Did a 5k downhill tempo to test my legs a bit. Big thanks to Josh and Adam for letting me chase their heels. We have a good morning crew where we can each push eachother on different days...mostly they just push me. Pull me is probably the better term.

The 5k was actually the fastest I have covered that distance so I am happy about that. It was aided, but was still a good effort and I was glad to see what I could handle. I stopped my watch a hair early I think so I will call it an even 18:00. Splits show - 17:56 - 5:56, 5:53, 5:41, and 0:27 (hair short).

Oh, and HAPPY

Nice run this morning. Those are great confidence builders. I was surprised how fast we closed the last mile, I didn't think we would speed up by that much. It'll be fun seeing how much we can improve over the Summer.

Nice workout - all of you guys!

nice job to the JAJ crew. pretty big drop in pace over that last mile!

From Josh E on Wed, Jun 04, 2014 at 08:55:49 from 205.235.104.4

Nice work and great finish. No worries re whether you broke 18 because this is just a starting point!

Thanks all!

I think Allie just gave us our name. Josh was thinking "North Salt Lake Crew" but the URL would just be too long. Do we pronounce JAJ as "jay-aye-jay" or "jadge" or maybe "jage?"

From Jake K on Wed, Jun 04, 2014 at 10:46:55 from 159.212.71.200

Sounds like the JAJA torch has officially been passed.

But like the Spurs... don't count us out forever...

From james (runmehappy) on Wed, Jun 04, 2014 at 10:52:30 from 50.203.76.218

Now I am thinking how long we could get with the JA combo. J's seem to out number the A's.

From Jake K on Wed, Jun 04, 2014 at 10:54:15 from 159.212.71.200

We got it out to 7 or 8 a few years ago. Those were the days!

From Josh E on Wed, Jun 04, 2014 at 10:54:16 from 205.235.104.4

We'll see you in 7 years Jake. Seriously not accepting the JAJA torch though.

And if I said North Salt Lake Crew, I apologize. Salt Lake North Crew maybe. North Salt Lake Crew? Hayz nah!

Make sure you incorporate the NSL smokestacks into your logo. And maybe the smell of the lake into your singlets?

I am excited about the Real North Salt Lake Redskins! That's your team name, right?

"the torch is never truly passed, but rather the flame spreads until we are all one poofing bonfire." -marie osmond

JAJA will most definitely be back to join forces with JAJ for the *classic* stericycle loop.

From Hille on Wed, Jun 04, 2014 at 13:21:38 from 24.10.218.179

Nice run. Good thing I didn't join you this morning, another J would have messed everything up.

From james (runmehappy) on Wed, Jun 04, 2014 at 13:26:20 from 50.203.76.218

We welcome all John. Another J and we would just have had to mix it up to AJJJ. Though it is more difficult to make three J's and one A aesthetically pleasing.
