On my way to te JFK airport in NYC I decieded to stop and go for a run in Van Cortland Park. This was an awesome place to run in the middle of NYC. It was dirt trails in the middle of dense shaded woods. Amazing that I was secluded on a trail run in the middle of New York City. 4 easy but great miles.

4 miles in the mountains of Panama. I ran 2 miles up hill and then turned and ran 2 miles down hill pushing the pace. Up was at 7:45 pace up a pretty steady incline a bit steeper than Provo Canyon. Then came down 2 miles in 11:15.

Ran with James and some of Timpview XC team again. We ran a very hilly trail run with total of 8.6 miles including run to and from home. Overall about 4 miles of climbing pretty steep. I think my legs will feel it for sure.

I went up to Midway and ran the BAM 9K trail race. I was very sore from yesterdays hill run and this was a very hilly trail run that was pretty much pure torture on dead legs. I am not sure why I do this to myself other than I love to run and race even if I am not in great shape and it hurts I somehow still enjoy it.

Went to watch other bloggers at the Utah Valley Marathon. Ran the last few miles with several. Ran with Seth a little at the end and watched him win the race. Then went back and ran with Jeff a little, he finished 5th and just missed breaking 2:30. After that went back and ran with Sasha. Then ran back and saw Kory, Jeff and Walter and finally ran in with MaryAnne. The FRB had 5 of the top 10 spots overall. Great job by all today. It was fun to see everyone.

Easy run today with James and some Timpview XC runners again. Then ran more with Jared later in the afternoon in the 90' temps. Knee was pretty tired and sore from all of the hills yesterday. About 27 miles in three days so I may end up with over 50 miles this week.

Went up to Provo Canyon with James and Timpview XC team. We ran a very hilly loop called Grizzly. Between the wind and the hills this was a pretty tough run. I have really discovered that trail running is so much better than hitting the pavement all of the time. Afterwards we soaked in the Provo River for about 15 minutes and froze.

Another run with Timpview XC and James. I really find it nice to be able to run with James and the team. How many Dad's can actually run with their son and their high school team. What a blessing it is!
