Easy morning run just around town.  Felt pretty good.  Was longer than I expected but that is alright.

6 miles moderate to First Dam and back via the Canal trail.  3xOMHs (Old Main Hill for non Loganites) ~ 100m.  3x100m barefoot striders in the flat grass.  Felt awesome today once I got warm...legs were complaining at first but once I hit the hills and striders towards the end it felt great.

Really easy run down by the Temple and in the Island.  Stretched out a little at Merlin Olsen Park.  Legs were tired and sluggish from yesterdays fun with Old Main Hill, but other than that the run was good.  Just took it really easy--took 30 min for the run so pretty slow.  About 8:20 pace.   I'm going to try from now on to actually make my easy days really really easy so I can recover and not keep getting hurt.

Easy to moderate pace this evening.  Stayed up too late and was too tired to run this morning.  Done with work for the week though!  :)  Felt okay.  Legs were a little sore...I think I need to do a better job cooling down and stretching after running instead of just quitting cold turkey.

Moderate pace down past the Tabernacle on Main, over on Center and made a loop around Merlin Olson Park.  Stopped there for a drink.  Ran back up past the Temple to OMH, did 4x100m striders in the grass again.  Grass was cold and my feet were frozen but it felt good.  Kinda pushed the pace a little on this run.  Wouldn't call it hard but I felt good and definitely didn't go very easy like I planned.  I made sure to cool down good though and stretch afterwards.

This morning's run was awesome.  I started out and went down to the Canal Trail with the intention of getting on the River Trail for about a 10.5 mile run.  Met Cody at First Dam and he said he was going up Green Canyon if I wanted to come so I decided to go partway with him.  He was looking for Paul (who was apparently at First Dam the whole time) and so we ran back down the Canal Trail for .75 miles to find Paul, then we didn't find him and started heading back the way we came and he showed up and said Cody had run right past him but that he was feeling sick and wouldn't be going with us.  So we headed back up past First Dam and onto the Shoreline Trail.  Went on that and took the single track.  I went with Cody as far as the dirt parking lot in the mouth of Green Canyon where the single track starts and decided to turn around there.  Went back the way I came.  It was a beautiful morning.  Rainy but it was really pretty.  Quiet, not a lot of people out, waist high grass and wildflowers on the Shoreline single track.  Just a nice morning.  I felt really good too.  I thought I was going to be short on my mileage because I wasn't hurting at all but the course tool says I got 12.4 conservatively.  Longest run I've had in months and it didn't even feel bad at all.  Maybe I'm getting this back.  :)
