Welcome

I was going to take a full week off but my legs are feeling good and I was super itchy to get out there today. I havene'd had any trouble with stairs or mobility and I feel much stronger than after Ogden. So instead of the stationary bike, I elected to reconnect with the hills behind my office. I miss trail runs. There is some minor achiness and my right quad and hamstring are still a little sore from the last few miles of the race but everything else felt fine. I kept making plans to run fast up a hill or take a fun tangent but then disciplined self would wake up and tell me not to be stupid. I stopped at just over 30 minutes and walked 5 minutes back to the office. Beautiful day.

I think yesterday's shakeout helped a lot. My legs felt great this morning. I did another trail run at lunch. This was my classic Round Red Butte and though I am in recovery it has never felt easier. All the hills and taking my iphone ensure that I don't go too fast up or down. I could feel some tightness in my right quad, hamstring, calf on the downhill so I am by no means close to 100% 40:00 total with almost 900 ft up.

10 minute warm up on the stationary bike then 30 minutes on the treadmill at a 1.5 incline and then a 10 minute cool down on the bike. Sped up a little toward the end of the treadmill run and all seems good other than the left glute pain I got from running Ogden.

Easy miles from work south on the BST to Wasatch. 2.66 miles on trails and the rest on road.  Some tightenss in my right calf lingered and the shoes I wore didn't help. Definitely the best I'v felt thus far. 50:03 total with probably 4-500 ft up.

Easy miles from Highland High with Jake, Fritz, Allie, James and Chad. 1:14:43.
