River Heights run again today.  It was really nice and cool this morning.  It was perfect for a short run.  I actually ran today at 8:29/mile.  I was pretty happy with that pace, but it was tough.  I'll have to work to keep my pace there.  Right now I am sitting at about 9:00/mile on my long runs.

Nice run up Logan Canyon.  I almost didn't make it today.  I was exhausted when I woke up today, so I slept through my normal time.  Luckily I was able to find an hour just before work.  

 The canyon is beautiful right now, and the water is lapping at the trail in places.  It is a little crazy.

Today's run was quite nice.  I ran down Logan canyon and had my wife give me water at Miles 5, 7.5, and 10.  I don't think I had enough in me before I started though.  I almost didn't make it through the first 5 miles.  Once I hit that point, I found my stride and just kept going.  I did it in good time.  The entire run took me 92 minutes, and that was including the short stops to drink water and talk with my wife.  I know I averaged right on 9:00/mile for the first five, and it looks like pretty close to that for the rest.

Right ankle was sore before, and my right knee is sore now.  Probably I was compensating when I ran, but it was a great run overall.
