| Glorious hike/run this morning up the canyon. Took the pup and hit the first left hand fork trail, power hiked/ran up the trail, hit the turn off onto the Shingle Fork Trail and headed up it for a mile or so. Hit a little over two miles and I was out of time. Ran back to the car, leg is starting to feel better. I could tell on some if the downhill stretches if I sped up it would start to twinge so I just ran easy. I should be good to go by this afternoon. We are headed up to Utah County again this weekend so I will be looking for some group runs in them thar hills.

| Day off, must be enjoying this running thing, woke up without the alarm at 5:20 and hit the trails leading up into poverty flats. Quick 2.5 miles out and back, lots of rabbits for the dog to chase on the run this morning.

| Hit timp with Ben Light, met at the parking lot at Battle Creek. We went up battle creek and attempted to summit Baldy, but hit too much snow, so we turned around and ran down Grove Creek and then back to the parking lot. Legs were pretty heavy on the way up, started to feel better at the top (imagine that) Got to decide on what to do next....

| Ran up the canyon to Monrovian Park with the dog. Good effort without overdoing anything. I was thinking about running our work 5k in Gunnison, but with how my legs felt this morning I probably would have pulled something with the effort. AP 8:24, 1308 ft elevation gain during the first 3 miles

| Easy cheesy recovery run around the hood, love running around the farm fields exploring different roads close to home. No rain this morning, I was glad, had the treadmill clothes sitting next to my outside gear, looked outside and away I went...AP 8:36

| Did the "Richard" loop from the house this morning. Wanted to hit the trails this morning, but it rained all day yesterday and last night and I'm sure the trail I was wanting to hit was a mess, so I did a semi-tempo run. Felt pretty good, had to fight the negative thoughts and I believe I need to train my mind to run fast again. Felt pretty good, ended up with a negative split, the loop is fairly flat with some rollers in there, only 138ft of elevation gain. AP 7:17

| Yep, no runs last week, my wife went to visit family for the week so I was left with the boys, we had fun hiking, fishing, and other adventures but no runs for me. Don't know how the single parents do it.
Tried a new trail this morning, finally some single trail again. Went up the second left had fork trail. Enjoyed my time going up, 1981 feet of elevation in the first 2.25 miles. Saw elk and deer and spent more time checking out the views then hitting it very hard.
I really need to sign up for a race to keep my motiviation to train up...

| I was planning on hitting some new trails this morning in the hills, quads were sore, and felt a little tightness in my right achilles, so I decided to run flat and hit it tomorrow. Did the country loop south of town, half on dirt roads. Good effort this morning, I am glad I decided to run it. AP 7:33 elevation gain 95ft.

| Beautiful run this morning, tried a new trail, started in Richfield and went up the dirt trail/road by the water towers, 096 trail. Fairly runable at least I didn't have to walk any. Felt bad scared two ladies early in the morning enjoying their walk up the canyon. I gave them a warning but they still screamed and jumped. Actually had me laughing most of the run. Solid effort, 9:45 pace with 1,827 ft. of elevation gain, had fun flying down the mountain the last bit keeping the pace in the 5's.
It feels like my legs are coming back...

| Went from the casa up to the hills, tried to find a strava track up there but took a wrong turn, ended up bushwacking up the hill, kind of fun, climbing and exploring around the rocks, saw the correct route at the top. I will have to hit the right trail another day. Good time shaking the legs out and exploring... elevation gain 769 ft

| First 20 miler since the Utah Valley Marathon last June. Hit the paved trail that heads up Marysville canyon past the Big Rock Candy Mountain. Didn't know how the legs would respond but I guess all the trail running I've been doing helped, 691 ft of elevation mostly in the first 10 miles, as you climb up the canyon. AP 8:10
I was worried about 11-12 miles in how my legs would be feeling, but hit a second wind the last few miles and got some quicker miles in at the end once I knew I wouldn't be causing any harm. Nice trail, reminds me of the Provo river trail...

| Trail run up the Second Left Hand Fork Trail, was feeling really good until about the last mile and a half when I stumbled and pulled my back. It has been sore for the past week, started when I was digging worms for the kids to go fishing. I was feeling fairly good on the long run Saturday and most of the run this morning until the stumble. Hobbled back to the car and hopefully I can get it feeling better soon. Loved the run until then, the trail is a bit overgrown and I have several cuts and scratches on the legs from the bushes and branches which reached out and grabbed me... elevation gain 2,622 ft
