| 11 mile recovery run. EZ miles in the canyon. Headed up Settlement Canyon at about 9:00 a.m. Still cool, but nice. Hit the Dark Trail at about 1.25 miles and went up to the end then on the canyon road to above the gate. Came down direct on the canyon road and up left hand fork trail for .5. Back down to base of dam and behind Little Mountain on the double track trail and back through the wig-wam and down the alley to the high school. Ran barefoot about 500 meters on the grass infield of the track and easy 100 on the track, then re-shod headed .5 back home. A very nice easy run. |

| 5 miles easy recovery this morning at 5:10 a.m. Standard Skyline route. Windy, with cold front moving in. How could I get a head wind coming from both directions? |

| 5 miles on the standard Skyline route at 5:05 a.m. on a chilly morning. 45 degrees. I dressed a bit light with just a long sleeve t-shirt and shorts. 47:35. Easy run, except a bit closer to tempo pace the last 2 miles, focusing mostly on form after I finally woke up. I like Friday morning runs. With all the 4 day / 10 hr. per day Dugway, State and Tooele Army Depot workers still in bed, the streets are nearly empty of cars and I can more safely run while still half asleep myself. 2nd 20 miler scheduled for tomorrow morning on the Smelter Road hills and then on down to Lake Point. |

| 20 mile long run in 2:52:54. 8:38 average pace. 3 minutes slower than last week, but considering I didn't have Tina for 8 miles like I did last week, that's pretty decent for me solo. 7:30 a.m. Started out at below 50 degrees, quickly warming to 70 degrees. Smelter Road hills up to the flat at 5 miles, then down through Erda along Droubay Road, up over the knoll on the gravel road and down into Lake Point and along the road at the base of the Oquirrh Mountains and finishing at the truck stop along the frontage road near I-80, exit 99. A very nice morning for a run. H2O at 3 places along the route stayed icy cold stashed overnight. 6 other runners out along the way. 2 consecutive 60 mile weeks, 1 more to go. |
