Took my wife and Sister-in-law on a run in SLC.  Went from the house to the 7-Eleven.  They did about two miles for this trip.  I did a second lap of it in order to get to 4.

Great run up the River Trail at the crack of dawn.  60 Degrees and perfect.

Modified River Heights loop since there was road construction on my normal course.

My buddy Davin and I went for a run up Green Canyon this morning.  We planned on running the whole 8 miles, but at about the 3.5 mile mark, Davin through his hip out.  We decided we'd better head back rather than finish the last leg.  We had to walk a while back, but ended up running the last 2.5 miles or so.  Good final long run for Logan Utah.

Broke the treadmill after half a mile.  It may have been a little further, but I wasn't looking when it died.  Nothing else was available, and it was too hot to run outside today.

Was able to get a treadmill today for a quick run.  Averaged 7:40/mile on my run.

Today was actually my first outdoor run since making the move to Phoenix.  It was 95 degrees when I ran at 8:00 AM.  It was a little warm for my taste, but it was nice to hit the streets again rather than the treadmill.

So today was another day on the treadmill since it was outrageously warm at 7:00 AM.  Even still, I may have pushed it too hard.  I am having a hard time cooling off 3 hours after I finished.  I feel like I might not have had enough water during the run.  I've got to get used to carrying water even on my short runs down here.

Great run today.  I had a nasty blister from yesterday, so I switched shoes hoping that would help.  I ended up getting another blister.  I guess that is what happens when you have two bad weeks back to back.

Really wasn't feeling it today.  I cut my run short and did a little biking instead.  Did about 5.5 miles on the bike.

Nice run on the treadmill today.  I slowed down my pace since the humidity seems to make it hard to run quickly.  Ended up feeling very solid when I was done.

Nice run on the treadmill this morning in preparation for day 1 of medical school.  Still too humid for my taste, but I'm getting used to it.
