| Kind of forgot about Daylight savings... Had a good family day with a run to SugarHouse in the middle. My body is feeling last week. It is amazing how out of shape I have become that just a few hard miles and barely over 40 mi total could beat me up like this. The best news though is that the "injury" type pains are at a minimum. Avg. 8:07 HR 140

Happy St. Pat's Day! Most likely will end up with a 2-a-day today. Commute run in via mid-campus. Then around noon a large group from the building is planning on a run to the top of the nearest mountain behind work. We'll see if it happens... I really like the trend with my heart rate. It is finally coming back down for these easier runs.
Avg. 9:29 HR 128 Super crazy day. I managed a second run! Since I arrived at The U a group of people in the building get together to run to the top of the nearest summit by campus and have a toast to Dublin... I've always had an excuse why I couldn't go. But today I didn't allow myself that. It was beautiful up there. Perfectly clear view of the entire mountain range around the valley. It is crazy how out of my element I was running up that grade. I've done some runs up that way before but not for over a year. It was GREAT! UP Avg. 13:58 HR 166 Ascent 1671 ft in 2.35 mi
DWN Avg. 10:15 HR 140 Descent 1350 ft in 1.65 mi That is no joke about the mileage I timed them separately and and it came to exactly 4mi total.

| Family run on the JRP. Out was tough, almost entirely in the wind pushing both girls. However, back was a lot of fun as they acted as a sail... Avg. 9:22 HR 138
