| Today was supposed to be an easy 9, just to warm the legs back up. It started really slowly, but after about 2 miles I was feeling pretty good. I decided that I should do a bit of a tempo, just see how far I could push a sub 8:30 mile. After keeping my pace below 8:25 for 5 miles I decided I should cool down for the last 2. Hopefully I feel as good tomorrow when I go for the hills. |

| I changed shoes today in an effort to keep my feet fresh. I'm not sure it helped. I used to like these Kinavara's quite a bit but since my injury nothing is as comfortable as my instincts. Right our the gate today my legs were sore. It started with a slight soreness that progressed into more soreness as the run went on. By mile 5 my legs had finally warmed up. This is something I have experienced in the past with these shoes but I have never had this trouble with the Instincts. I think having a bit of a heel on these shoes makes the canyon decent a bit easier though as I don't have to focus so much on keeping my form perfect. |

Today's run was tedious. It started slow because my legs were sore and tired. It never got fast. It took until mile 5 to finally work all the stiffness out but even at that point I didn't really have it in me to move very fast. As a result, I tried to make this a recovery run. We'll see how well that worked out tomorrow. I noticed a few ankle issues on a couple of turns. I need to baby it a little still. I hope this is gone by mid October.

I didn't get out of bed this morning and I had a job interview before lunch so I had to "sneak" my run in between the job interview and going to my current job. As a result, my run was in Salt Lake, so I went up City Creek again. I haven't been up there in a long time. I managed to finish with an average pace of 9:14, which isn't great but is pretty good considering I was at an average pace of 10 when I turned around. Miles 7, 8, & 9 were sub 8 pace, which is obviously partially due to the fact that they were downhill. Still, there were some even sections that I pushed the pace on trying to keep it below 8. Felt pretty good and I'm glad I got it in.

| I didn't want to do a long run today because I'm planning on going for 20 tomorrow. I did want to get something in though, so I can start teaching my body to run 6 days a week. The problem with this plan is that if I'm only going a few miles I feel like I should run quickly. As a result, I did these 4 miles in a average 7:41 pace with my slowest mile being 7:59 and my fastest being 7:23. I hope that doesn't kill my legs for tomorrow. |
