This morning I ran my first workout since Deseret News. Last week I felt like it was unlikely I could ever move my legs somewhat quickly ever again, but I felt good enough today to give it a go. I warmed up 4 miles over to This is the Place. At the far east end of the park (close to mouth of Emigration Canyon), I started the seven mile tempo run. I ran west down Sunnyside, into research park, down to Foothill, over to 2100 E., then a nice cruise down past 2100 So to the gully, then down to Highland High area and then back north on 1600 E. The route was generally downhill, but included some flat sections. I tried to keep the effort in the 6:10 range, even though the route made for some faster splits. Splits were 6:15, 6:10, 5:58,5:50, 5:49, 5:58,6:08. After the tempo, I finished the run with a slow four mile cooldown along 1500 E. to Guardsman, up past Steiner, then through the U, Federal Heights, and home.
