Easy run to get started this week.  Started out feeling slow but after a few miles I got loose again and felt pretty good.  Took it easy today.

LRT in an off and on light drizzle.  The Logan River is raging, but the mountains are very beautiful covered in clouds and with all the plants starting to bud out.  Very enjoyable, relaxing run.

North Logan-Hyde Park Loop easy.  Nice morning for a run.  A tad nippy and overcast at first, but the sun is now out and it warmed up a little.  Should be a beautiful day.  Too bad I'll be spending most of it working.  Run felt good.  A little tired at first, but I took it very easy and felt good by the end.

Green Canyon.  Second singletrack is 100% snow free, and it looks like the rest of the canyon is quickly getting that way.  Nice run in the sun today.

First single digit run of the week.  I guess that's pretty cool.  Easy run to recover from the week and to get ready for tomorrow's long run.  Felt pretty tired today.  I don't think I'll run the Health Days 10k tomorrow, as much as I'd like to.  I'm walking a fine line increasing mileage as fast as I have lately, and with Logan Peak coming up I don't want anything keeping me from having some really good weeks in the next month and a half until then.  Big week this week, but hopefully bigger to come.  Felt pretty good though!  Very confident in my training this summer.  It's looking like I'm going to have all the time I want to run and still have some fun.  :)

LRT-Wind Caves.  Nice run.  Fierce wind (like, struggling to run 7:15 pace DOWNHILL) going up the canyon, especially at the mouth, but I was lucky enough that it was still going on the way back so I laid down a couple of sub-6:00 miles at 16-17 which was fun.   There were TONS of runners/bikers/hikers on both trails.  All of the hikers on Wind Caves thought I was nuts.  What's new? I also saw my buddy Craig (Craigalas) running at Second Dam, so I stopped and chatted with him for a couple of minutes before his turnaround.

 Oh, and this is my highest mileage week yet this year...by 0.1 miles.  Only I don't have a marathon in 3 weeks this time.  :)
