Chilly morning run in Jackson Hole.  Ran up to the elk refuge and along the dirt road there.  It was a great run.  I'm going to start revising my training schedule because I have missed too many key runs.

Ran towards Teton Village.  Probably a mistake since it was a major highway with a lot of traffic.  It was pouring rain and a little windy and chilly.  Actually felt nice.  Both achilles tendons are bothering me because my shoes are worn out.

We are staying at the base of the Snow King ski resort and I noticed a trail that went to the top.  When I first saw it I knew the trip wouldn't be complete unless I ran it.  It was a lot steeper than I expected.  Took a couple of walking breaks on the way up and even a couple on the way down.  It was so steep that I was riding the brakes the whole way down and my quads are fried.  The view at the top was amazing and well worth the work.

Back home and to the regular routine.  I actually like the normalcy of regular life.  This morning's run felt really good (other than some achilles soreness).  Ran it at a decent pace (7:22/mile) and it felt very comfortable.  I feel good about where I am fitness wise.  I'm just not sure about the endurance for a marathon.  I still have a couple of months to get there.

Ahhhhh....new shoes. I just noticed that my old shoes had 650 miles on them.  No wonder my legs were hurting.  Run started a little slow but then I picked up the pace and ran at a decent pace.  I could definitely feel the difference of the new shoes.

Deviating from the schedule a little because of last weeks missed long run.  I was a little gun shy going into this run after my troubles during the last 20 miler.  Did an out and back on the LPT.  Started out nice and easy and gradually picked up the pace. After my body warmed up and I got going I felt really good.  Started having some hamstring tightness between miles 13 and 17 but felt great other than that.
