pm- I ran this when we got home from Salt Lake, too cold to do my 90 minute run. I just ran out on Telegraph, came down to Sullivan and out to the Staheli farm and then headed over to the bridge and back to my house. No knee brace, but I did feel a little pain during the stretch from Sullivan to the hill with that only house on top. Other than that, it was good but very exhausting. Pickups were good, just had them in the 5:50s each time, felt good except for the last 2 minuter.

pm- Great run, I went out right when the sun was setting so it was beautiful outside. I ran with my dog Oreo for 10min, then ran over to the high school for the grass part. I wore the knee brace today cause the knee had been hurting a bit today. Probably from the many miles the day before. The pain worked out though so that was good. Nice and peaceful, I love being back to the cool weather of St. Geezy.

am- Met up with Mitch and Xander and ran Ice House. Always a good time to run with my bros and talk about whatever. 60 minute run and is was glorious....on the downhill;) Naw the uphill was good too, it was just hard to talk to each other when you are breathing hard. The weather was great though and our dreams that we had in the last couple days were wildly epic. Ha yah that was the run in a wrap, oh and after I got some dope pants from Target. Yep.

pm- 8.55 miles/ 60 minute run; Hills w/ 15 min warm, 5x1min hill + 1x85sec hill w/jog down rec and extra min after 3rd, cool to time (Old Man Hills).

Great run today. Wore the knee brace, probably coulda gone without. I am feeling good, its just weird having the knee still inflammed and no or very little pain. The workout went well anywho, some nice strong pushes up the Old Man hill, paces were 5:25, 5:20, 5:15, 5:10, 5:15, and finished the last rep with 5:10. Felt good. After we finished we dropped down over to the trail by the car wash and Maverick and looped back to the high school. 

Interesting Factoid: First day back to school and Mitch is in my new seminary class. Freakin dope.

pm- 8.24 miles/ 60 min total-- 6 min Test; 20 warm/cool to time w/ 4-8xStriders.

Good run today, 6 minute test went well, we started slow, 1:10 for the first lap but then me and Mitch and Carson got goin. Carson took the lead, I went to follow and then my legs didnt agree. But I was happy with how I did. Good starting point for me. I went 1919 meters for the 6 minutes which was good. Mitch was right in front of me and Xander right with me. Carson was like a good 80 meters ahead. He is gonna kill it this season. After the test, we just ran around and finished with striders. And there is snow here so thats weird.
