Good run today.  I took it easy because I had a test right after my run, and I didn't want to be exhausted.  It felt great.

Today was a good day for exercise.  I went for a bike ride up the River Trail in Logan Canyon up and back totally 7 miles.  When I got done, I ran from first dam up the canyon until I hit the second mile marker.  My quads were burning by the time I got back down to my car.

I have decided I probably need to modify my training to run more downhill runs since that is what the marathon course will be.

Another great Logan Canyon run.  This time I took off from 1st Dam and headed up around 2nd Dam and back down the River Trail.  It was a great run and it was nice and warm.

Another Logan Canyon run today.  It was nice to get away from all of the people and traffic down in the valley.  I've got the beginnings of a tan coming now.

Today, I was down in Hurricane, so I did my old loop.  I forgot my good running shoes, so I just ran in what I had.  Big mistake.  By 3 miles in I was in a lot of pain and decided it would be better to try running without shoes than to continue with the shoes I had.  It actually wasn't bad at all unless I hit a rock.

 By the way, this is my first 20 mile week.  That is pretty awesome.
