4.5 mile warm up. Ran a few Meat Grinders up Webb Hill with the boys and then back to the school. Plyombata after wards. Decent start to the week. Legs were a little sore still from Saturday.

Met up the Circle for Tempo Tuesday. Legs felt heavy on the warm up so I decided to do a slight progression run. Started into it and felt flat. Went 5:56, 5:47, 5:40, 5:33, 5:28 for the 5 mile tempo. Surprised that I felt this good. Happy I didn't throw in the towel this morning.

7.6 miles with the girls this morning. .5 warm up, 6 miles on the trails, and then a little bit during kids camp. Glad to be done for the day.

7.5 miles this morning with the boys. Did 18 minutes for our tempo run on Warner Valley. Went a little quicker today and I was very happy with how the boys did today. Good stuff. Plyombata after wards.

Ran 4 miles with Katey this evening in Huntsville around Pineview Reservoir. Saw a deer almost get hit. Kind of sad. Good start to the 4th of July!

Woke up to a nice overcast morning in Huntsville. Legs were tired from the drive yesterday. I ended up looping out by the monastery and then back around by our old log cabin. Decided to keep the pace up tempo and see how things went. 14.75 miles at 6:23/mile. I really enjoyed smelling all the farms and animals. I miss growing up here. I might go out later with Katey up on the trails of Snowbasin.

Too much stuff going on this morning so I wasn't able to race. Helped Norah get ready to ride her bike in the parade. She had a blast.

I ended up going and running the trails on Snowbasin. I started at the Art Nord Trailhead and made my way up the mountain. The last time I came up here I saw two moose. In the back of my mind I felt like I might see another one. As I was just cruising along, I came around the turn and saw a big bull moose sitting in the trees enjoying the shade. I stopped at looked at it and sprinted past it when it turned its head to eat. Got the heart pumping but still a very cool experience. Crossed the road and went on the Green Pond trail. Made it to the top and then came back down. I really enjoyed this run and was happy to get a solid 10 miles in today. I love the trails on Snowbasin. They are some of the best around.

It has been a long couple days with my family. Lots of stuff going on that drained me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We were up late talking as a family so I decided to sleep in. I just didn't have it today. Woke up and then went to see some pygmy goats. We are considering getting one to keep the weeds down in our backyard. Maybe?

We made it up to my in-laws early in the afternoon so I decided to get out the door. I didn't feel great and the run showed me that. I didn't worry about the watch and just ran. I was really tired and not feeling great. Hope I can get feeling better.

It was an okay week of running for me.
