3.5 miles on the trails.  Kept the pace sub 6:00 for the first half mile and everything felt great.  Hit the hills and slowed down a bit but kept it sub 8:00. Turned it up a little for the last bit and clocked a 5:42 mile . . . . . .alright, most of it was slightly downhill and smooth, but a fast mile for me none the less. Last couple of tenths to cool down and made it home five minutes early. 

3.5 miles, 434 vert.  Legs feeling great, most the tweaky spots gone after the ART yesterday. Still hacking after the run though, gotta kill this bug!

Quick trip to Moab.  Really cool exploring in the Firey Furnace.  Cool rap off Abby Arch and a quick bit of other hiking, inclding timing a trip out to Delicate Arch right at sunset with all the Euro tourists.  8 miles or so, mostly walking some power hiking.

6.4 on the bench right before dark. Easy pace, took me 5 miles to feel like I was warmed up.  8:40 pace, 960 vert.

AM: Great morning run with the whole fmaily.  My wife registered all of us for the Run From the Sun 5k/10k.  The race was a benifit run for a friend of hers from college who has cancer.  They had a great turn out and it was a great course and well organized event, especially for their first race. 

She was running the 10k pushing our 2 year old in the jogger, while our 10 year old and I would run together in the 5K.  It was his first 5k, and the first time he had run 3 miles in a row ever.  He did great and really sucked it up and kept going when he really wanted to stop and walk.  We had a blast cruising along together and me trying to keep him running along at a sustainable pace.  He had a pretty good kick in the last 1/4 mile or so, passing about 6 people and leaving me in far behind.  Finished mid-pack in just over 26 minutes, not too bad for his first 3 mile run.  He was stoked and is ready to make it regualr thing.  My wife managed a solid run despite our 2 year old throwing her Ipod in the bushes, demanding a snack mid run and demanding a drink of water every five minutes.  (sounds like me on most runs, hmmm?)

PM: Very unremarkable run to Lewis Peak. Felt sluggish on the way out, but manged to keep a run going (slow) all the way to the peak.  Coming back was a differnet thing all together.  Short hills felt like 2000 ft climbs and going downhill fel like mile 45 of a 50 miler. Really  been in a funk on any run over about an hour. I'm sure its recovery related, though I think alot of it is cold recovery, which is not going well.  Just can't seem to shake the last bit of chest congestion and cough.  I'm going to keep it all easy runs and shorter distance next week and see if will come around a bit. Grand Canyon is unlikely, but I'll see how the next week or so goes.

14.5 miles   2850 vert
