AM: Anasazi trail with Marieta, Skyler, George, and Tyler. Wanted to go longer but was accomadating for the people I ran with. 5.5 

Ran from Mammoth Cave to my cabin. I was dusted out by all the Nevadans on the mountain. I skipped the trail to just run in the woods and spooked a 5 point buck. 

AM: Duck Creek to Willis Creek to my cabin. 5.12

AM: I've been having some knee pains so I'm taking the runs a little easier. Just gonna stretch it out. 3.01

I ran from my cabin to Willis Creek. I didn't have a concrete plan on what I was going to do for my run. It was a little rainy so I couldn't pass up the combination of fresh mountain air with some rain. I just kept running. I got to Lars Fork, thought about taking that back to my cabin. Then I thought no....I can do better. Passed up Lars fork and hopped on the Virgin River Rim Trail. Man do I love those strawberry cliffs up that way. Anyways great run! Saw plenty of deer, antelope, a dead turkey, and I chased a fox. Karma hit me right back about 3 miles down the road when 2 big dogs started chasing me. Ended up running 16.66. 

Started at the entrance to the VRRT right after you drop down from Strawberry Point. Took the trail up to Lars Fork then back to the car. I wanted to show George the territory I ran yesterday. Pretty sure I saw the same fox as the day before. Great weekend of altitude training! 9.45 

Hiked the Blow Hard trail with George and ended up running the last little bit. 

AM: Ran out 25 towards Coral Canyon Mesa then flipped. 5.82

PM: Legs were feeling especially tired but I ran with Tanner, Ethan, and Caleb. 2.22

AM: Desert run with Caleb, Jason, Gabe, and Ethan. 4.17

PM: Easy 5 with 10 60 second pick ups. I've been in a slow funk so I thought I'd try picking up the pace. 5.01

AM: 12 minute tempo with Jason, Caleb, and Tyler. As the time went on I gradually picked up the pace. They all responded really well and finished strong. 4 miles 

AM: Bloomington Hills loops +striders with the crew. Ran a little extra on my own. 6.06 miles 

PM: Worked with my Dad all day in the heat. Got out late for an easy 4 mile loop. 4.07

Day trip up to the cabin with Rosstaphor. We hopped on the VRRT from Willis Creek. Ran all the way to Navajo lodge. We were both drained by the time we got to the main road by Navajo. Saw a herd of elk on the atv ride back to the cabin. 15.12 miles 

Ran around the town of Durango with my Dad. Spent 8 hours on a train today, wish I spent more time running 

Ran 6 miles on the highway to get to Monticello. Beautiful country!

AM: Ran 35+ striders with Isaac, Caleb, and Ethan G. I added a little after practice. 6 miles 

AM: Ran from Red Creek Reservoir up to the Panguitch Lake road and into the burnt woods. Probably not good for my lungs but it was an unique experience. 5.32

AM: Grass run with the crew in the rain! Super fun! Then an epic ultimate game, mainly of me tripping and taking out Holt. 4.72 miles

PM: The loop with Marieta in the humidity. 5.45 miles 

AM: 10 minute warm, then 3 sets of 5 (tempo, threshold, or CV). I can't remember the order of which ones we did because of the fate of the cards set up. Great workout! Big group of runners grouping together and pushing each other. Best group running yet for the level 1 crew. 5.77

AM: Desert run with Josh and Jason. 4.36 miles

AM: 40+ striders with Jason, Josh, Collin, Caleb, and Ethan. I was running behind Jason, maybe too close, then he jumped over a bush and in doing so his back foot caught me in the goods. I went down for a minute. For the last 15 minutes I picked up the pace a little bit and Josh responded and came with me. Good Friday run! 6 miles

AM: Santa Clara Heights down to the the Snow Canyon park turn off with Marieta. The girl knows how to run smart. We ran 10 and I think we negative split each mile. She didn't have a watch and I just ran her pace. Nice chill 10 with good conversation. 10.05 miles 

AM: Ran around while my crew ran really well in the 2 mile time trial.
