9.5 miles
Fun run with Jake around Sugarhouse. Time always flies when you've got a good running buddy.  My legs were sore today but nothing awful.  The pace was just under 8 minutes, thanks for taking it easy on me Jake.

This jog was just what I needed to get loosened up a bit. I think I will be fully recovered in a couple days. Will force myself to do some foam rolling later. 

PM

3.1 miles around the neighborhoood, needed to get off the couch and stretch my legs out

Happy Sunday FRBers!

7.5 miles on my lunch break in the wind and rain/snow, nice and muddy when I finished. Averaged about 7:20 pace today, legs feel much better than yesterday.  The recovery runs help lots.

Also, my mom, Osa Bear just joined the blog!

6.2 miles before work

Felt tired during the first two miles and then I felt great.  Nice and cool out this morning but sunny.  Great weather!

As soon as I finished my jog, bird poop fell from the heavens and landed squarely on top of my head.  Maybe that's some sort of sign. 7:20 average pace

4 easy miles after work

5.5 miles on my lunch break

Averaged 7:10 pace today, lots of wind

5.5 miles before bed

7:05 average pace, pretty similar to my lunch run

Busy day today.  Dragged Jing to Cottonwood High after a light dinner.  She's very patient to wait for me while I jog.  Unfortunately, the track was ripped up so we went up to Wasatch Boulevard and parked. 

Did 2 miles out then turned around and came back. I did a mile warm up then started my 2 mile tempo followed by a mile cool down.

2 mile tempo in 11:06, 5:38 out then 5:28 back.  I like running out and back courses because there's no question that they're fair.  Short workout but just looking to get some threshold work in today.

Drove the 10 mile course for next Saturday's race, looks pretty brutal for the first few miles, the first piece of downhill looks almost too steep to really attack.

5.5 miles before heading into work, great weather

Family gathering to check out the new City Creek mall tonight, should be fun.

Parked off of Wasatch and 3900 South and ran up to Milcreek Inn 3.5 miles and back down. Didn't try to kill it but suffered a bit, averaged 7:30 pace going up and 5:40 coming back down.  The purpose of this run was just to do some extended uphill running. Cooled down for 3 miles.

Feeling pleasantly tired.  Had a good mileage week for me.
