good to get back in the saddle again. I had some really weird, accute knee pain the first mile, but it just totally faded away. Hopefully that doesn't come back

I tried out the superiors today on a run with David (he's a guy that works one floor up at the More Good Foundation). It was a super good run, a nice little trail from the squaw peak lookout. I was feeling good, and David was super tired, so I went ahead and when I got to the end of the trail, just started going down the road, with the plan that he would pick me up at some point along the road. Anyway, long story short, I made it down the whole road, adding 4 extra miles onto what started as just a five-mile run, haha. I got nice and sunburnt on my shoulders too, but it was a good adventure.

It was really hard to find the motivation to run after work, but I did it anyway!!

A little frustrating that I only could get in 5 miles today between work and traveling, but better than nothing

 I got to try out the paradigms at work today, and man, those were the softest shoe I have ever worn! Definitely a weird experience. Also, driving home from work I saw the one and only Dez Helz track team doing a run! Good luck to them at state tomorrow.

Really busy day at the outlet, followed by the state track meet followed by some anatomy lab stuff, followed by a meeting with the bishop = a late night run. It honestly felt really good.

I only got 5 miles in today because of the expo that I went to, but it was a blast to go up to ogden and help out with all of that

I ran south on the bonneville shoreline trail, and it was soooo great! I got to a part of that trail that I've never seen before, and man, it was fantastic!!

Good run at work, followed by a nice easy 3 mile run with Austin, and a couple of girls, Nicole and Christee. Pretty fun run, it was a little awkward because I really had to fart, and both the girls were behind me

I did a nice 3 mile tempo run today as my first workout since finals week. The goal was to do a 3 mile pick up, with a 6 minute, followed by 5:50, then 5:40. In reality it was a 5:47, 5:57, 5:49, or something close to that, haha. It wasn't exactly what I wanted but a good way to start. Better and longer workouts to come!!

I got to run a quick 3 miles with one of my fellow anatomy TAs, Scout, this morning, so that was fun! I also got to go on a nice little trail run at work! So a good day for sure!

I had a lot of fun exploring the boneville shoreline trail and up a canyon as well. It was slow going up the canyon, but a blast coming down it!

Well, I was a Scofield today with my cousins, and it was so hard to find the motivation to get out on any sort of run, but I'm glad that I did! The hilarious part was I realized that I had packed two different shoes, fortunately they were a right and a left shoe, and I was running on dirt so I couldn't really tell the difference

I explored some of the trails by where I work, and it was a great time! I feel so blessed to live in such a beautiful place. Great way to spend memorial day.

It was a good tempo run today. Started with a mile warm up, then started out. The goal was to go 4 miles at just under 6 minute pace, after that the plan was to just see how I felt for the next two miles. Going out, the first 3 miles of tempo felt great, then when I turned around, there was a stiff headwind, that I of course didn't notice when it was at my back. I fought through it for a mile, and finished the tempo run with an average pace of 5:56. I just jogged the next mile, then I did one more mile at tempo pace mostly just focusing on being mentally strong into the wind. I ran that mile at just under 6 minutes as well. It was a good workout, I defiantely need to do more things like this. I was a little dissapointed in my mental strength during the initial tempo run, but I'll work on it, good things are coming!
