Clyde's Comeback!

I did a version of my big loop run. Switched some things up and made it an even 12 miles. It was an amazing day in STG. I left my house at 4:30 and it felt like it was 80. The first 3 miles are uphill and my calves were as tight as they have ever been. I thought about turning around but waited until I crested the hill to see if they felt better. They did and I was able to pick it up from there. Finished, and felt good other than my legs where hot trying to fall asleep.

Got up this morning and did a run. I have to go to SLC for a work meeting today and tomorrow so I'm not sure what kind of running I'm going to get in. I hope to get 4-5 more tonight, but I'll have to see what kind of time I'll have.

Didn't have any time so I'm glad I got some miles in this morning.

Got up at 5:30a.m. and ran from the Little America up past the Capitol building up into some residentual area and did a loop in there then turned around and found a road up this little canyon so I followed it up and took it to were a trail came back down. Then just ran back down through town to my suite at Little America.

I picked up some kind of cold in SLC so all day I thought there was no way I was going to run. However I went home from work early and slept for a couple hours and then made myself go out. It was horrible. But in the end I felt ok.

Ran out in the desert by my house. Its starting to feel like summer here. In a short time I'll have to start running later in the day because of the heat. I am putting some fake grass in my back yard and I got fryed this afternoon, so I'll be pink for the 10k in the morning.

Did the 10k and a little over a mile of warm up. I ran the race as good as I could have due to my situation. I had a bad sun burn on my back and was feeling wore out before I even started running. During the race I started out a little faster than I would have preferd. I never could find a smooth pace that would allow me to catch the leader. I ended up 2nd with a time of 37:50 slower than a couple weeks ago, but the course was harder too. About 3 miles of up hill, but the conditions today were very nice...good day to run, fun atmospher. Now I have to finish installing the fake grass in my back yard.
