Got up this morning with a bit of a struggle. I was trying to think of any reason I could stay in bed. I'm glad I didn't listen to my lazy side. I was planning a nice casual run today but as I started out and made my way to the hill I was feeling pretty good. I got to the top and felt even better, so I decided to push it this morning, with the thought of it I get tired or feel anything bothering I would slow it down. Nothing happened and I kept going. I slowed a little towards the end but felt good. I then threw in some strides on the cold grass at the end. It was a great run.

Ran with Caleb Scoville tonight and we did the double bonneville. The first 2 miles were a good warmup and then the next 3 miles were at marathon effort. 6:21, and 6:41 then we started the climb and I tried to keep the pace. Wasn't able to keep the pace but I kept the effort. Managed to squeak a 9:11. Got to the top of the climb and caught my breath and continued on. Took it easy for the next mile then did 2 more at Marathon effort. Kept those under 7 min with the gradual uphill. Took things easy the rest of the way in.  Very happy with the run and the outcome. Felt good at the end of the run. Trail running is speed training in disguise. I love it.

Decided to run the trails again today. Jumped on BST at the top of slate canyon and headed to Springville. Hadn't been on this trail and finally after about 2.5 miles I found some good single track. It was a good run. Nice and cool this morning making for a nice run.
