Drove home from Moab today. It was nice and sunny. Too bad the race wasn't today.

It was 25 degrees this morning with light winds. I ran 8.33 miles nice and slow as my quads are still a bit tight from Saturday's run.

It was so nice this evening (60 degrees) Sue and I went on a bike ride. It really helped to loosen-up my quads. When we got home I did leg presses, curls, and extensions.

It was 28 degrees this morning, ran in shorts anyway. It was 35 by the time I got back so it was nice. I ran 15.29 miles in a fairly easy pace. My quads still hurt a bit on downhills so I didn't want to push too hard yet.

It was 35 degrees this morning with very light winds.  I ran 10.51 miles and felt pretty good for the first time this week.  Last Saturday's run in hard conditions has really taken a lot out of me.
