| 6:30 a.m. 18 miles. 2:38:47, 8:49 AP. 1st mile with the dog. Slow running up Smelter Rd. hills until meeting Tina at mile 7 for the rest to the run down through Erda and to the north end of Stansbury Park. A surprisingly good run. Knee bugging me early on up the hills but the faster and harder downhill actually felt much better. Probably need to be rolling that ITB more than I'm doing. 55 mile week. Very encouraged heading to SGM #19. |

Hobble Creek 1/2 Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:41:40, Place in age division: 4 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 0.00 | 13.10 | 13.10 |
| Hobble Creek 1/2 Marathon. 1:41:40, 7:46 AP. 4th in AG. Felt really good until around 7 miles, just after leveling off after one of the very few uphill sections, tweaked my left hamstring just a bit. Slowed up the next 4 miles and was still there but tolerable. Last 2 miles I didn't feel it much. Kept it fairly easy running in. Still a bit sore while walking, but not real bad. Hopefully not shades of two years ago. Splits: 8:18, 7:41, 7:27, 7:28, 7:24, 7:24, 7:38, 7:45, 8:06, 8:15, 8:25, 8:16, 8:10. Tina ran about 1:33 or so, 2nd in F50-54 AG. Should be good enough for her to win the Slam for her AG. Had to get up at 3:00 a.m. To get down to Mapleton in time. Heading back to bed. |

| 5:00 a.m. 5 easy recovery miles with my lab. Skyline route to the Grimm's Gate and back via the lower loops. 6:15 p.m. 6 miles very easy in 56:39 through town up into Middle Canyon to the underground water tank and back via Vine and the alley paths. Hamstring not too bad, but can tell I need to be careful for a while. |

Hamstring giving me a little grief again tonight. 7:00 p.m. Attending SGM Running Clinic in Bountiful at South Davis Recreation Center. Dr. Chris Bell, a sports medicine specialist, talked about the common running injuries, treatment, and prevention. He mentioned about all the ones I've had. |

| 7:00 a.m. 18 miles easy in 2:45:46. 7 minutes slower than two weeks ago with Tina. I always seem to do better with her. I was also being careful with the left hamstring today. Didn't give me much trouble. Nice temperature this morning. Set H2O out at mile 9 and mile 16. A welcome relief. 56 miles this week. |
