Going to try for 80 this week.  Todays run was tired and felt sluggish.  Tried to take it easy, but I probably could have gone slower.  Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Green Canyon again.  Only meant to go 15 today, but ended up going an extra mile because I was only half a mile from the Yurt when my turnaround point came.  It snowed pretty heavy last night, so the snow was not very firm (hence the slow pace), but the guy was out grooming the trail and had already made a couple of passes.  I passed him at the bottom while he was getting ready to make another run, but then he caught me in about a mile and I just followed him almost all the way up.  It was nice because not only was I getting the nice groomed trail (though still soft) but it gave me something to chase.  We just chugged right on up the canyon at about 8-9 minute miles.

North Logan/Hyde Park.  Muscles were very tired, but after a couple of miles of warmup it didn't feel too bad.  Took it easy.  Gorgeous day.  Sunny and 40 F.  Grass is actually starting to grow.

Deer Fence.  Trail was a mess.  Slush and slop the whole way.  But I slogged through it and thoroughly enjoyed the mud and goop because it was 55 F and sunny and I was running with no shirt.  :)

Easy run.  Weather was nice and sunny again, although slightly cooler than yesterday.  Spring is in the air!

Long run out to Smithfield as far as the first part of the Canyon Road.  I've never run out there before, so it was nice to cover some new territory.  Started out very slow and tired, but felt more relaxed and energetic as it went on (outside of the usual attrition of a long run).  I think my recovery and resilience to long runs is getting better.  I was laying down 6:30-6:40 pace on level ground for most of the last half of the run without all that much effort.  I hit 21 miles going at 6:00/mi. on the dot.  Last long run for a couple of weeks.  Next week will hit some speed work while backing off the mileage, then full taper the week following until SHM on the 26th.  Looking forward to a solid tuneup race that weekend.
