6 miles in the morning.

4 miles in the afternoon.

It was quite chilly this morning.  Nice and easy over into Santa Clara.

Wasn't feeling that great this afternoon but I went out for a decent 4 miles around the house.  Nothing to exciting but it helped the sickness.

 I have felt that garbage today.  I still needed to get out for some miles though.

10 miles in the evening.

It was flipping cold this morning.  I have got all the cold weather gear on now.  Nice and easy.  The stars are nice and shiny in the morning.  I saw 2 shooting stars.

A wonderful run this evening out into Kayenta.  It is my rolling hills course.  It was really clear this evening.  I had light all the way until I got home.  The sky was really clear which made for a great run.  Light windbreaker jacket and shorts and I was in heaven.

6 miles in the morning.

8 miles in the evening.

Another nice and easy run this morning over into Santa Clara.  The temps were once again fairly chilly.

Another eventful run in the dark out along the Snow Canyon Parkway.  It is nice and relaxing getting out with the temps around 50 degrees and having time to think about lots of things.  Not worried about pace at all right now.  Everything is nice and easy.

4 miles in the morning.

10 miles in the early evening.

Stomach issues this morning so I didn't go as far.  Still felt okay.

I got home from work earlier than usual so I was able to run with a little bit of daylight.  I ran from the house down in the Santa Clara valley along the old highway.  I got halfway done and realized I had averaged 6:40/mile for the first 5 miles.  It didn't feel like that much of a push.  I made sure I slowed down on the way back.  I had to deal with a ton of uphill the last 1.5 miles which wasn't that fun.  I still survived though.

I woke up early this morning to hit the trails.  I started at Jacob Hamblin and then ran over by the Green Valley Loop.  Their were a fair amount of hills which is something I am trying to work on more with the running as of late.  It was quite chilly but a wonderful time to be running.  It was really nice once the sun started to come up.  

I had to hurry home so we could go and get a jogging stroller for the baby.  We found one for a killer deal so we bought.  Nothing like shopping for baby stuff!  I am not ready to be a dad!

Happy with the week.  I am trying to consistently hit 70 miles per week until Moab.  It is going well right now.
