Didn't get much sleep again due to picking friends up at the airport in SLC and not getting back until 2 AM.  Went out for a slow easy run.  Did 8 miles, but I'm calling it 10 for the day as I immediately went out and hiked another 7 at a brisk pace.  This was useful to discover that Jardine Juniper is probably near 100% runnable.  We didn't go all the way, but we saw no snow and that was getting nearly to the top of the ridge.  Putting that on the list for later this week.

LRT.  Good run.  Felt fantastic today.  Last week was a struggle, so it was refreshing to feel good.  Got some miles at Tinman pace coming back, and a couple even at marathon pace.  I have had a little soreness in my hip flexors and groin muscles the last few days.  Not sure why.  It doesn't feel injured, just sore like if I had worked out in the weight room.  Can't figure out why.  New shoes maybe?  Oh well, it's not really hurting me, it's just there.

Big Workout #1

Felt really great today, so I thought I would try for an overdue BW.  Run went really well.  Ran out to College Ward via PW and all the farm roads and then back into town via 2000 West, Mendon Road, and the landfill to Center.  After a mile or two of warmup, I started increasing the pace, moving into a solid Tinman pace, then pushed harder after a few more miles, making surges into sub-marathon pace territory.  It was a hard run, but not as hard as I expected.  Brought it in at a moderate pace, still sub-7:00.  Legs are tired, but I think it was a great workout.

Long run.  Canal to BST to Green.  Single track is 100% snow free to the Yurt.  After that it gets a little hairy, but it will soon be melted given the nice warm forecast next week.  Good run.  Very tired.  This was a really good week though.  Last week seemed like every mile was more or less a struggle, but this week was a lot better.  Still pooped though...and now I have to go to work.
