TRAIL RUN WITH CODY!!!

Great first run back from Sand Hollow.  Took this week completely off and it paid dividends.  Felt very little fatigue from the race, and that only at the tail end of the run today.  It was really enjoyable to be out on the trail with Cody after too long of a hiatus.  Lets hope both of us can make it stick this summer and stay healthy.

Another trip up Green Canyon with Cody after work.  Same run as Saturday, but went a little further.  Very enjoyable afternoon run.  Temps are warming up and it feels great!

New trail with Cody!  He showed me the "new" Providence Canyon Trail (I will probably refer to it hereafter as the "Cody Draper Memorial Trail").  It's an awesome trail.  Lots of climb, but runnable the entire way and pretty smooth.  Super nice trail that will hopefully become a frequent addition to my running.  It was great to get out with Cody too.  We went from Dry on the BST to Providence and then up the trail.

6 more miles to make an even 12.  This might be the last chance for a long/hard workout this week, as I'm leaving for California tomorrow for a college robotics competition.

Loop from my hotel around Disneyland and up and down a few roads.  Not being familiar with the area, and being short on time and energy, I stayed close.  The run was needed though.  Stressful day.

Canyon Road loop.  Felt really good today.  Weather was beautiful and temps were warm with a nice breeze.  Stars were out.  Gorgeous night for a run!

Green Canyon with Cody.  Worked pretty hard the whole way up and back, but it felt great!  Gotta get in shape for Logan Peak so Jon doesn't clean my clock too badly.

Another great evening for a trail run.  I am loving this whole early spring/summer thing!  Took the LRT to Bridger Cutoff and then I had planned to go up Spring Hollow but decided to go explore Mill Hollow just to the west instead.  Only went about half a mile, but the trail, while clearly less used than anything else near the River Trail, was in surprisingly good repair.  I'll have to run it again farther to see what the rest of it is like.

Medium Workout

2 mile warmup, then 8 miles of progressive tempo starting at Tinman pace and finishing at 5k pace.  Finished with 2 miles of cool down.  Quality workout today and perfect weather for a no-shirt run.

Easy run on the BST.  Feeling really good this week.  Hopefully it continues as I ramp up the mileage.

My apartment to the top of the Cody Draper Memorial Trail and back via Deer Fence. Run felt great!  It was a little chilly at first, after the stormy weather the last couple of days, but it got sunny and nice about 5 miles in.
