AM:  easy miles w/ Ben V. Around Valley View and Dixie Dr. Settled in pretty well after a mile. Ben is a stud. Had a good time find here with him and Nikki and the rest of the peeps that made it here this weekend. 7:35AP

AM:  Went out to do a normal Draper loop.  At mile 4 my right achilles got really tight and my foot actually fell asleep.  Really weird.  Anyone else ever have this happen before?  Guess I will do some more miles this evening.  Legs were tired but felt really good other wise.  8 AP

PM:  gorgeous sunset run around Draper Park Loop.  Legs are tired. 7:40AP

Lunch:  Not my day today.  Easy miles on Murdock.  Do again tomorrow.  7:35AP

AM:  Got some good rest last night.  Crazy day of emotions and mental crap yesterday.  Pretty tough not seeing my boys.  I know a lot of people have worse problems than me but some days it catches up to me.  So I wanted to do a workout this morning but still not recovered from the race Saturday.  Did 8.25 with a mile at HMP in the middle.  Think I will wait til Saturday and inc some tempo between my LR.  Just cannot afford to get injured again.  More miles tonight... 7:35AP

PM:  6.2 miles. wanted to get some more miles in. Felt really good at a 1/2 mile into the run so decided to open up into a MP effort and see how I felt since I didn't have anything this morning. 6:42 AP for 4.5 miles. I felt comfortable. Glad to get in some kind of effort so far this week. That half took a lot out of me for some reason. 7:15AP

AM:  easy miles around Draper this morning. Really enjoyed the light rain and mild 40-50 mph breeze this morning. Normally I like a little breeze in the sir but not tropical storm Draper. Draper is really weird like this too. Good times. 7:57AP

PM:  tropical storm draper has died down to cold light rain tonight. Some easy miles. Nice nightly stroll. I'll tell ya what the people that live around here eat really well. Cause it smells really good whatever they are cooking. 7:45AP

Lunch:  Slept in and got some really good sleep this morning.  Strecthed really well all morning.  I have felt blah the whole week.  Did Canal/Rockwell/Draper Park Loop.  3rd time this week I ran with no shirt.  Winds were only 15-20mph today so nice change. 7:35AP

Today is my Dad's 62 bday.  Talked to him this morning and he said he ran 7.5 miles cruising yesterday.  He's starting to get in the zone and I think because of what I have done in the past couple years it has sparked him to get back in the running game like he wants.  My dad was the one that started me into running when I was 10 and has been a great influence and fan ever since in whatever I do.  Like most of us, our parents are a big deal.  Pretty fun to see him still running after five decades.  I hope when I am 62 I can cruise with my little men like Dad has done with me.  Good times. 

To everyone racing tomorrow(PHX, Woodlands, local events, etc.)  Much love and success this weekend.  Yall will be in my thoughts.  Excited to do a LR with tempo tommorow with the crew in the morning. 

AM:  Met at Orem Soccer Fields for a LR this morning.  Taylor from Addidas had an expo for RC going on so there were a ton of people there at the start and it was really cool to see a lot of friends.  Also passed a lot of friends on the trails.  Really loving running lately.  This morning was fun.  We got turned around at Bridal Vail for avalanche stuff so I decided I was going to pick it up for a bit and just try and get some HMP tempo in.  I need to quit running scared and today was a good start to this.  The guys were kind enough to box me in and keep me at 6:10AP for about 3.25 miles.  Learned some good things today about connecting energy vs. drafting.  Anyways, after a quick pit stop we headed out on Murdock for another 10.  I just kept it at 6:55/7:10 AP and felt comfortable.  All the guys looked very good.  A very enjoyable LR this morning.  7:10AP
