Easy run today.  Feeling more motivated.  I can't understand why every time I have a big race I have a period of doldrums in the weeks afterwards.

AM:  4.5 moderate pace just for extra miles.

30:58 (6:52/mi.)

PM: 10.5 with Jon and Cody.  We did a trail called Maughan Hollow, got lost once on a labyrinth of cow paths that went off into nowhere (or perhaps Willow Creek), but soon found our way, enjoyed some good views, played cowboy with hundreds of fat, lazy, stupid, bovines, and generally had a good time.

Easy run around North Logan.  Didn't take a watch today, as I was going slow and easy anyway.  Legs were a little sluggish and sore at first, but after about a mile of warm-up they were ok.  

Registered for TOU this morning.  My goal is 2:40 or under.  It's crunch time and this week I'm feeling good and looking for 70+.

Big Workout #1

 2 miles moderate warmup, grabbed a drink at First Dam, then took off for 10.25 miles at MP effort.  It was kind of rough, and I was bucking the wind for maybe a third of the tempo portion, but I made good time and better effort.  Cooled down for 2 miles at the end.  I was pooped.

Tempo: 1:02:25 (6:05/mi.) definitely sub-6:00 effort, but nasty wind during some key stretches slowed me considerably

Total time: 1:33:57 (6:35/mi.)

Epic trail run with Jon and Cody.  Ran from Tony Grove to Franklin Basin/Logan River via White Pine Lake, Bunchgrass, Steam Mill Hollow, an out and back to Steam Mill Lake, Steep Hollow, and then finally down the Franklin Basin Road to where Jon's car was cached.  Did I get all of it?  Yeah, something like that.  Anyway, I was tired most of the run.  I think all of us were.  We finished with a couple of fast miles, not because we necessarily had the energy, but because I think we just wanted to be done after 4 hours of running.  It was great though.  Spectacular scenery that most people will never get the chance to see.  There were times that we were running that it was almost perfectly silent.  Great run.  Good company.  Very enjoyable.  But I am very tired.
