Trails!

AM: New route from our new apartment.  I ran a shorter Young Ward Loop via the landfill.  It was pretty quiet out this morning.  Wasn't sure if it was the rain or all the local runners are crippled from the marathon and didn't venture out today.  Today's run was slow and easy.  Foot is 95% better.  I think I am out of the woods with that one.

T-63:10 (8.25) (7:40) 140

PM: Easy miles with the Guys (the group now includes Joe).  I wasn't feeling too spectacular today.  Oh, well.  I did hit the pool and hot tub at the Crystal Inn afterward.

T-37:00 (4.75) (7:47) 136

Medium workout -

5x4 minute at CV pace (~5:40) with 2 min recovery.  I joined Jon and Paul for this workout on the North Logan Loop.  Not much to report other than it was an average performance considering the tired legs I have.  

Leg 1 - 4 mins at 5:10 pace (good downhill, pretty much ran all-out to stay near Jon and Paul)

Leg 2 - 4 mins at 5:46 pace (good split considering it was rolling up-hill)

Leg 3 - 4 mins at 6:09 pace (all uphill, but it was ugly)

Leg 4 - 4 mins at 5:46 pace (flat/slight down)  My body is telling me I am done.

Leg 5 - 4 mins at 5:53 pace (flat/slight down) Don't know why I even bothered with this one.

Rest of the run was easy.  Good thing.

8 easy miles in the brisk morning on the 400 W route.  Recovery day.

Small workout - 

Young Ward loop with Tinman Tempo.  2 mile warmup then 6 miles at 6:15 pace, followed with 2.5 miles cooldown.  I went 6:13, 6:15, 6:14, 6:13, 6:15, 6:12.  Average HR during that time was 168. Felt better today than on Tues, thankfully.

T- 68:15 (10.5) (6:30) 161 ave

Easy miles on Planet Walk loop.  I followed it up with a run to Logan High to do some strides in the grass.  I had the brilliant idea of doing them on the astro-turf on the football field.  It was perfect.  Springy, not cold and wet and exactly 100m long.  Did 8 of them.  

On Vacation in Park City for the weekend.  I got up early and drove to Willow Creek park and ran on the dirt/gravel trail back into Park city.  It changed back into asphalt, but was still a nice trail to run on.  I followed it all the way up to Deer Valley and exchange 35 of WBR.  (~500 feet of climbing).  I retraced my steps back to the park and added a bit on beyond that on the trail.  a fair amount of the run was on the Prak City Marathon course.  I may give that one a shot next year.  Cool course.  Pretty hilly though.  I hit some slow miles on the uphills, and hit some faster stuff on the downs.  Back to enjoying my weekend...
