DC loop then finished with the secret street. Quads were kind of sore from the 30k on Saturday. I haven't really touched downhill since STG marathon and it shows. Temps were warm too- started the run at 7:40 when Mik'L got home from her's and it was 60 F. By the time I was done the sun was fully up and temps were closing on 75 F. Yesterday's high of 99 F is a dreadful sign that summer in STG has started much too early. 

Going to see April today. Loosen up the hammy and straighten out everything else.

Secret Street then DC loop. Man my quads are sore and trashed. The downhill and rolling terrain of Saturday was an eye opener. I'm much more tore up than after the full Modesto marathon. I even went to April's yesterday.... but I think I was too sore to really let her dig. It should just work it's self out over the week and I'm having a semi recovery week too so that'll help. 

Oh and the weather is crazy. Yesterday was the first 100 F of the year. Too early for sure. 

6 miles tonight around the B-hills loop. Hot but didn't seem overwhelming. Had to cram it in fast so I could go on a hike with the young me up into the Red Cliffs water falls and pools. Had fun there but was tired.

Club run here from my house. I woke up early and so I decided to go out and run a little before. When I got out there Dave and Logan were already out running. So I did 1.3 then came back and joined the Circle of Trust and Billy. We hit the regular loop slow and EZ. Then I did another park loop after we finished. Pretty trashed by the end. Wishing the legs would snap out of it.

DC loop with just a little added exploring a street in B-hills. Had an upset stomach last night and felt horrible. My wife thinks it was some dark grapes we got at Costco. Because everyone in the house had similar issues. Anywho I felt better this morning but not all the way. By the time I go to the DC I really needed a potty break... and it was the sick kind of stop....

9.7 miles tonight with the club and James B. was down from SLC so he joined. Regular loop. It was windy... I hate wind. Picked it up the last 3 miles. 6:28 avg for the run.

DC loop this morning. 147.5 lbs this morning after the run. I've been consistently under 150 lbs now for a couple months. Good things can only result from weeding off 6-10 lbs of fluff.

Long run. Out around the southern parkway into SunRiver. Then up into Bloomington around that loop. Up the river trail to river road then back up through B-hills to end it. Met Steve and James B. Started out nice and EZ but we got to 10 miles under a 7 min avg. Those guys cut it off there and then I continued and started to run a little faster. But overall just wanted to keep today EZ. Ended with a 6:40 avg for the day. 

Taking the boat out to the lake today. Maybe I'll soak my legs in the cold water... but I'm not getting anymore in than that.
