About 3 or 4 miles at Liberty, including 6 hill loops.  It felt pretty good, except my hip flexers felt a little stiff afterwards.

Good job Anders and welcome to the blog. We are glad you chose to run XC this season. It will be a lot of fun. Keep consistent and run six days a week. It does not need to be a bunch at first 20 mins a day when we do not have team stuff the next few days, but come to all the team stuff next week. See you when i get back.

Ran in Dry Creek...not a whole lot, maybe 3-4 miles at most.  It felt good.  My hip flexers only hurt a little bit.

about 6 miles at Sugarhouse, played 21

 

around 3 to 4 miles, with 40 off, 20 on lap at Liberty

About 4 miles from Sunnyside.  Probably walked too much.  It felt fine, though.

 

5-6 miles at cottonwood complex.  Ran the Regions course.  It felt ok, but I have a lot more work to do.

About 4-5 miles in Milcreek.  It felt really good.

About 3 miles at liberty.

Race: Desert News 10K (6.2 Miles) 00:55:00

6 miles for the Des New 10K.  I had fun. I walked some of it.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, though.  I probably ate too much before the race, which gave me some problems.

Happy to see you had a good time. Keep working hard and coming to team workouts. You will see big changes every week.

4 miles at Fairmont.

4 miles a Sunnyside.  I did 2.5 loops at the creek.

6 miles at the JCC.  I had a pretty tough time on the way up.  It was harder than I expected it to be, as I had hoped it would have felt better than the first time I did it a couple weeks before.  The way down felt much better, though.

6-7 miles at Liberty.  I ran 800 repeats.  It was tough, but it felt pretty good.

About 5.5 miles from the Cemetery run from Sugarhouse.  I didn't run any laps in the Cemetery, though I think I should have run one, as I felt pretty good after the run, like I could do more.  

I ran about 3.5 miles today on my own.  I was able to run 2 laps around Liberty Park on the jogging trail without stopping or walking.

6-6.5 at the Shoreline Trail from Sunnyside by the zoo.  The way up was all right, but the way back was tough. 

Bike and run.  It was a lot of fun.  5 miles running, 5 miles biking.  The biking was a nice way to break up the running.

4.5 miles at Liberty, plus some hiking.  

No running, but I did hike for at least 4 steep miles.  I missed the 5K because I was camping.

7.5 miles at Sugarhouse for the start of hill week.

Race: Settlement Canyon Invitational (3.1 Miles) 00:20:55, Place in age division: 65

About 7 miles in all at Settlement Canyon.  I felt really good about it.  I think I passed quite a few more people than passed me.  I think I should have pushed more, though, because I felt really good at the end.

Race: Utah County Invitational (3.1 Miles) 00:21:20

Race: Bouniful Trimeet (2.75 Miles) 00:21:51

Betwixt 6 and 7 miles.  My legs and ankles felt great.  i just hope they don't hurt too much tomorrow, especially in the morning.  I didn't push too hard, intentionally, so as not to exacerbate the pain and soreness.

7 miles on a run to the flagpole on Foothill.  I felt really good until the area on the side and back of my knee started hurting, which apparently is indicative of an IT band problem.  I hope it subsides soon.  I'll try using a rolling pin to try to alleviate the problem.
