Temple - Canal trail to USU campus (8 miles)

I tried to run faster than normal today and managed to run my first mile sub 8 pace.  I even got the final 3 sub 7.  That's fast for me lately.  Pretty sad.

So all that "fast running" I did yesterday caused my IT band to flare up.  It really started to hurt today.  I did laps around the fairgrounds staying on dirt and grass.  Then I cut it short and went home to ice it.  Pretty frustrating.

Jardine Juniper with Joe - 

I was really worried about running today.  I could feel my IT band complain while walking around the office.  Once I got to the trail, I warmed it up for a bit before heading out.  The amazing thing was it didn't hurt at all during the run (or after).  I did take it real easy both on the ups and the downs to not aggravate it.  We had a great chat and even got to see the Mt. Elmer fire smoldering up Cottonwood Canyon.  Looks pretty small.

Long Trail Run with Mike -  

No TOU half for me again this year (still not missing it).  Mike and I went up and ran Stump Hollow to the sinks - Down Turkey Trail to the junction with Little Bear Bottoms ATV trail - followed that trail up to the sinks road- down the dirt road a mile or two until we saw a sign pointing back to Peter Sinks - back down Stump.  Of that big loop, 7-8 miles of it was new for me.  I liked it especially since I figured I would have to come back up Turkey Trail and I didn't have to due to finding the Little Bear bottoms ATV trail route.  Sweet.

I was feeling pretty decent today but wanted to keep the pace mellow.  No complaints about that from Mike as he decided to have a bummer of a stomach issue then a puke then a complete bonk.  Poor guy, it was a rough day for him.  I did a bit more at the end waiting for him and exploring over to Beaver Creek Lodge (they have a well with life-saving water when you are really thirsty).  Leg was not complaining today (except for the first half mile as usual).
