A clydesdale no more!

Missed yesterday's run (was trying to be better about that) and I couldn't decide if I should start the week today and do the medium long run for the week instead.  Since I have an extra 1/2 hour on Tuesdays because of the late start at my son's school I opted for the MLR today..  Felt decent throughout the run.  It seemed to go by a little faster than the past few longish runs.  Kept the pace just under 8 min/mile.

Nice and easy.  Just realized this run put me over 2,000 for the year.  Quite a drop from the last few years.

Hilly run up to the mouth of Mueller Park canyon and back home.  Slower pace than I would have liked.  My left kidney has been hurting for a couple of days.  Hoping it is only an infection. 

Very cold but the run felt good.  Maintained a better pace than I anticipated.

Really, really did not want to run this morning.  I was tired, it was cold and I almost gave into the lack of motivation.  Bundled up and headed out the door.  Felt surprisingly good during the run.  Ran north on the LPT all the way to Station Park.  They have extended the LPT on the north end and I assume that it connects to the Kaysville trail.  Since it connects to the JRP on the south end, we now have a trail system that extends from Utah county to the north end of Davis county.  Might be a fun adventure to run it from end to end someday.  Averaged a little under 8:00/mile for the entire run.  Second half was quite a bit faster than the first.

Merry Christmas to all of my running buddies.
