Don't Sacrifice the Gift.

7-Virgin River Trail-- Added in 2X one mile tempos.  Felt pretty good for the most part today. I decided that I wanted to do a couple of mile tempos. And I am glad that I did. 

5-Vernon Worthen--Ran down to the park today to do some barefoot for a couple of miles.  Felt pretty good! They just added a sidewalk and the grass right next to it so it felt really nice.  The only bad thing was that I stepped on a sprinkler head and bruised the bottom of my foot...

7-Reverse Marathon--Ran up the course until the turn around for 7 miles.  It was pretty hot, I kept asking myself why I decided to wait until mid afternoon in St. George weather to go for a run? Ended up being a pretty good run though!

3-CV-- Nice easy run to let the legs recover a bit.  As I am working up to get more milage throughout the weeks and months, I want to make sure that I don't over do it and hurt myself.  This run was nice for that reason.  Not very long and I took it easy to get the gunk out of my legs. My legs feel less tight and I feel refreshed.

12-Halfway/SC trails-- This morning was awesome. Nice and cool and I felt pretty great.  I took it a little slower but not a ton. It is nice when you get into a grove and you can zone out a bit on the longer runs.  The loop looks like it is actually closer to an 11 mile loop instead of a 12 like I thought, so I had to add on a bit at the end. Nice long run and was able to get some good strentching in afterwards.
