I don't handle disappointment well. 

Sometimes, 6 easy miles makes me feel quite a bit better.

6 on the parkway with Josh - 7:10 average

I got into the St. George Marathon and have a goal to run sub-2:50. I think with the right cycle of training I can pull it off. There is a good group of us that got in so it will be fun to train and run it together. 

I am going to take the next couple of weeks easy and see if I can get all of my little nags and niggles to heal up before I start my cycle June 1.

AM
6 - through the neighborhood and then south on the parkway. First time I made it directly home from a run without making a wrong turn in the new neighborhood. Slowly I will learn the street names and not get lost.

PM
hiked up and ran down Mt. Wire. Pretty rough going up, but felt nice to open up on the way down. I have not uploaded my watch data yet. I am interested to see what the vertical climb was in those first 2 miles.

7 along the parkway going north with Josh

I thought my calves would be worse this morning from last night's hike, but they were ok...not great.

Quads are pretty sore. I assume it is from the hike the other night. I pounded out some pretty fast miles on the descent. I might do a few easy miles tonight, but probably not. My brother-in-law has asked me to run the second half of the Ogden Marathon with him tomorrow so I will be doing that unless he changes his mind before then. Honestly, I hope he decides not to run it!

12 along the parkway. 8 were with Adam and we did one mile at marathon pace for fun.

My quads are crazy sore. I think running easy today helped but I still feel like what I assume an old man feels like while walking down stairs.
