Yikes--no time to blog.  I ran 9.4 this morning on a loop that included the first hole on Bonneville Golf Course. It's good to get back on the fairway now that golf season is almost done.

No black sheep workout for me this morning, awoke too late.  So I ran four miles out through the golf course to Wasatch Boulevard and started a two mile tempo, running south on Wasatch.  First mile, which is has a hint of upness to it, was 5:46. Turned around and ran back to my starting point, mile in 5:30.  The easy run home was punctuated with 6 strides of various distances at 88.5% effort.

Easy run on the new Bonneville Golf Course route I ran on Monday.  I ran with Josh, Megan, and Amy.  Colder today, but actually still great weather for running.

Limited time this morning, so no drive out to Holladay for the Radda run. Instead, I ran from my house with the plan to do a 4 mile tempo, mostly in Liberty Park.  After circumnavigating the Avenues, I made my way to 600 E.  The warm up ended at 500 So., which was 3 miles into the run.  Target was 5:50 per mile.  Splits were 5:48, 6:02 (lazy . . . asleep?), 5:50, 5:46.  The good thing about this run was that in the last mile I was actually running with some conviction.  It made up for a little bit of sloppiness in the middle of the run.  I ran easy the park back to home to finish the workout.

I ran the Ensign Elementary loop this morning, a great little local route.  Just enough climbing to keep it interesting, and the distance works out really well for a recovery run like this.

Met with a group of six at Foothill for a run out to the fire station on 11th Ave.  On the return, I separated from the group after a little porta stop.  I took a longer route back to the starting point, up through This is the Place and the golf course.  I mostly felt listless for the last few miles because I didn't eat enough for dinner last night.  However, with a mile to go, I could smell the barn and decided to run a hard effort to finish.  Last mile was 5:20, aided by some downhill.
